Ram ProMaster - best load boards

There isn't any - really.

Here is what you do.

Go to Expeditersonline.com and start reading. After a week of reading over there, start asking, you will find a lot of good answers.

By the way, how is the pro-master working out?

 

Loads out of WI pay really well, going in is very cheap, maybe his company thinks it's better to deadhead

 

Just out of curiosity, what made you decide to go this route as an owner/operator ? Did you do your homework? Did you plan and figure the cost in deadhead miles ? Did you get insurance quotes before hand ? Cause it seems your struggling just a bit. Also have you put or have a reserve if he breaks down on the road ?

 

You ask too many questions Dave, this is all about instant gratification.

 

What do you mean "an in company "? You mean who met someone in that company, preferably in management and told him that lots of money to be made, that they had lots of loads ? In other words, they painted him a pretty picture. You have to understand that this carriers/brokers/companies only care about one thing only, they want to move the freight. No matter what. They will lie through there teeth just to find someone to cover freight. Once they convince and reel in a newbie, they have done there job and everything else falls on you. They didn't tell you how much insurance cost, they didn't tell you about your deadhead miles, I could go on and on, hope you get the picture. Hopefully it works out for you. For some reason, individuals that know absolutely nothing about trucking, think it's a easy way to make lots of money by simply driving and they get into it and get a really rude awakening. Some individuals have been successful but it doesn't happened over night. It takes quite awhile to build up and gain the experience to make it successful. Just remember, there is a learning curve and lots have been thru it, I for one will admit it when I became an O/O, but it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. But back in the day, freight was regulated, diesel was cheap and insurance inexpensive.
