    I have a new Authority and I am having issues getting loads for a 26ft box truck. Alot of companies do not accept new authorities until 2 months out some 3 and 6 months. The only load I saw were load going 1,000 miles out in which I need t make some money first to afford diesal for a trip like that. Any advise on how to find loads for a 26ft box

    Try some load boards that www.OOIDA.com recommends. Contact some Expedite companies and ask if they can use you.

    LTL, sell yourself to grocery/ food service. startup is tough you should have contracts before applying for authority. You may be able to do seasonal stuff to hardware stores or farm supply and warehouse it at your base for on demand.
