    I hear that. Mercer does have some freight, just not down here. Its all north of Louisville and getting a load there to return my trailer has been a pain.

    It may pay you to go where the freight is to ride out the down turn on freight, at least for the short term.

    Nothing wrong with Blair. Before P&S started heavy into lease and L/P deals, that where most owner/ops went.

    TSH, owner by Daseke is all owner/op.
    Know a few people there. All seem to like the company.

    Malone is a very different operation from the vans.
    Fortunately, they have been mostly left alone by corporate.
     
    deeblu Thanks this.

    Take a look at ATS out of St. Cloud Mn. They hire from all over the south, I haven't been with them a real long time but so far they seem to pay real well and treat you real good.

    Jones motor out of Pa has a fairly strong presence down that way. I lived in Cullman and ran for them. Have a real good agent in Mobile. And one in Chattanooga. Tell those 2 agents Shane sent you.

    Are you able to book loads off of secondary load boards or are you held to what they have to offer like at Mercer?
