    ok, looking for idea's. I'm out in SoCal, looking to get back in the O/O game.......but, not really wanting to go OTR again, couple days out fine, already seen all of this great country of ours, just wanting to stay a little local

    So far, the best I've come up with was auto hauling, starting with a 3500, 4 car....then moving up to a tractor when/if the business dictates it....thats all I got

    anything else that work outta SoCal..

    thanks

    There's boo-coo freight from L.A.-Phoenix for instance and of course, L.A.-Bay area/return. That keeps you fairly close and home every other day and weekends.
