    Hi everyone, I'm Albert and new to the forum. I just got my own authority and got all my permits. I'm in houston and
    i'm struggling to find loads. Can anyone suggest any good lanes to run?
    I have a 48ft flatbed btw.

    Whatever you do, if you find a load out of Womble Pipe dont take it, you will be there all day, they are ungodly slow like 10am to 11pm sitting for a load.
    Duna USA in Baytown has poly foam loads
    Apache Services in Houston has out going mixed loads of scaffolding if you dont mind jobsite deliveries.
    Vass Pipe in Houston can hook you up with alot of pipe loads.

    Good luck I don't have a answer for you if you like to run $125-$1.50/mi freight you can get all that you want.
    I spoke with a direct customer today Houston to Chicago I started doing that lane years ago for this customer at $3,600 i priced it today at $2,700 and was told I was the highest price they got quotes from they have guys doing it for $1,800.

    I have been home three weeks now not by choice I just can't make anything happen.
