Like 2011. I was leasing a tractor from the owner . All that dead head killed me esp with the cost of fuel back then

I had been considering Trailer Transit also. Now I will have to look deeper and re-evaluate. I'm an older driver with relatively low overhead, so it may still work for me. Thanks to the guys who replied, who are currently working there. I'm glad it's working for you, but it sounds like the circumstances are not ideal for everyone.

I've know a guy leased to them he's been there a few years.
I don't know how well he is doing because he doesn't want to work hard anymore.
I know he has pulled all different types of trailers, Frak tanks, circus, amusement rides. They'll basically pull any type of trailer a customer needs to be moved.
Another company that does this is Moving Performance out of Apache Junction AZ.. They also do a lot of entertainment tour's during the concert touring busy season.
Hope this helps.
PS. Guy I know at Trailer Transit was thinking about going to Moving Performance.

I have been leased to Trailer Transit for the last 13 of the 40 years I have been an owner-operator. To answer some of your questions from someone who has been there.
We haul all types of semi trailers. New from manufacturer, reposition trailers for dealers (new and used), for companies like Penske and Ryder etc. That is the portion of the business that is constant but doesn't pay as well as the other half of the business. That is time sensitive show loads. Generators to power TV broadcasts, portable stages for out door events, Broadway shows, rock concerts, Disney on Ice, Ringling Bros Circus.
In short empty trailers get us to the higher paying time sensitive loaded trailers.
Pay is 71% of the line haul to the driver, check with our recruiter (we only have 1, she has been with us for 15+years.) for full details.
Power only isn't for everyone, and there are numerous companies in the same business. There are differences between them, business models differ as do pay methods.
Trailer Transit is the largest and has been around the longest. Our driver turnover is something lessthan 25%. Most of the drivers have 20+ years experience when they come and stay until they retire for good. I am happy here, but I am sure you can find drivers that curse them.
PM me if you have any other questions
