    So here's the deal me and a buddy of my are looking to do lease work and we're planning on investing in a truck to Lease. Possibly container work being that we are 100 miles from the Georgia Ports and Charleston ports ,Wondering if someone can give Me more insight on rates and what all to expect. I also would like to know bout owner operator flatbed and dry van rates, This is kind of a small start up operation ..

    I like that they run 49 states & Canada. Fuel costs should be substantially less since they don't haul general freight and mostly empty trailers. Probably need CARB compliant truck for Calilfornia runs.
