Local Routes for O/O?

Look into fuel haulers. Shorter wheel base and midroof or flat top truck.

You will need a spotless background.

 

fuel haulers

cement powder/fly ash haulers

grocery store loads (all 3rd party now, they are always hiring power units only)

rock haulers

scrap metal haulers

container/intermodal

tons of local stuff.

doesn't pay all that great though (honestly the grocery stores seem to pay the best) because everyone wants to do it.

 

That would depend greatly on how well you manage money. If you are the type that can put X% into a maintenance account and LEAVE it alone, buying a decent used pre-DEF truck can work. I did it. You just have to be ready when the shop says it's time for a rebuild/in-frame. Or your transmission takes a dump.

 

Can't speak for GA, I'm in OH and I know several guys that own day cabs and do well.

Revenue anywhere from $800 to $1400 a day depending on the type of work.

Get a truck with pto and put a pump on. Pump offs pay more. Pump outs pay a lot more.
