Can a guy make a living or a business out of running for parts with a pickup and bumper pull trailer? I live in ND and have a bumper pull and a new pickup. Is there a need for something like this? I mean the small, lightweight, I need it now kind of things? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Also any pitfalls to avoid would be great to know about also.

That would be called hot shot. It's a cutthroat industry from what I hear.
Remember, if it was easy to go into and easy to make money, others would have done it already.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
Look for an Acme or United Vision. They run lots of pick ups. -
You can make a few dollars but you will not get rich.
You can Hot Shot your pickup and put lots of miles on it. I would dump the bumper pull trailer for a goose neck 40 ft long double axel trailer.
Pass on the cheap loads ( they got plenty )
From what I have seen the Dodge Diesels seem to hold up the best.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -

Avoid lease roads if you drive a Chevy.
