A well established trucking co will have established accounts in place and never need to go find freight. It doesn't matter if it's a 5 truck co or a 5000 truck co. You, as a driver, just want to load, drive, deliver and reload. If your co has to "work the boards" to find freight, that's getting into your pocket if you have to sit, right ?
I think my best job was with a 50 truck co that was well established and had accounts. He never worked the boards. He always had freight to book. The freight he couldn't cover he booked out. He was also an International truck dealer, so, obviously, all his trucks were internationals. He ran a tight ship and it was funny, he had never even driven a truck !
A large co is normally so large, they can't find trailers, loads, drivers or their way to the coffee room. Dick Simon trucking, not that big of a company, called their dispatch office the "war room". What does that tell you ?
Good luck...….
