Serious Independant O/op question.

Very basic and to the point background. I had a couple trucks leased to different carriers. I also had my own authority in which I was the only truck running under. I had a few contracts with local shippers that paid pretty good. I bought a business in a different field and decided to sell my trucks other than one and I also sold my contracts to another local owner operator.

My business is doing great but I do not need to be here breathing down the backs of my employees and I really miss the freedom and grabbing gears.

I can not get in with the shipper on runs as the guy I sold too is currently still in there.

My question is with the current market on rates on general flatbed could I make it alright until I got in with another direct shipper? I have been out of the game of load boards for awhile now. Thanks for any helpful info.

 

Yes authority is still up to date its just I no longer have that shipper. I am working on a local shipper but until they let me in I will have to run off the boards.

 

Just haven't paid any attention to what rates are on the open board and availability. I am no longer out here for the big bucks. Be plenty happy running 50-60,000 miles per year. I am just looking for a hobby and I would love to average $1.80 off the board. Pulling flat.
