Stepdeck it is

Hello all

After months of research I have decided that stepdeck is the way to go because you can run flat with levelers or keep it as a flat. I have been on truckstop looking at daily posts by brokers and vans and reefers all over the country are horrible. Steps I am seeing alot of rates over 2 per mile at minimum.

what do you all think? am I wrong? should I consider something else.. Vans are to commmon, reefers require hours of wiating I know because I am a broker and do plenty of reefer lanes. Stepdecks arent to expensive and make alot more money.


PLEASE my fellow soon to be truckers advise this Rookie!!!

 

As a broker your growth as limited. I have always hated a desk job but obviously wanted and needed something to pay the bills. I see a shift in the market over course of next few years where asset based will take over again. Also I have my customers I ship with daily but cold calling 100 people a day is a #####.
I want my own business and I can still be a broker but I'll have trucks.

I want to drive for 12-24 months to get that experience in.

 

What do you mean sir? As in buying power only?

 

Don't most companies require new owner ops to have 2-3 years experience
