According to some people North Carolina is a good state for setting up a trucking business
Bump
The bridge law comes into effect. We had some 3 axle 36 ft trailers, full frame, but still could only do 80 on 6 because of the bridge law.
I should also add, it's pelletized. Unloads like water
We haul a fair bit out of the Guitar back to SC...they use it for deer deterrent on corn, bean and cotton fields. It's treated with formaldehyde...
We're around Jax at least twice a week. And been heading down to the Mouses House couple times a week and fertilizer back out. Pays the bills
I've hauled a little of the bio-solid out of Nashville
$1000.00. It's all sitting on 2 pallets in a shop.
So does FL, NC does. TN I believe looks more at the kingpin deal. VA can get crappy, and if it's over 34k on a tandem it's a ticket. We pay a lot...
Me personally, I'd go 39-40'. The part of the country you're in, there is a lit of east-west freight. If you're more interested in grains,...

I'm also in NC...if you want to run a 6 axle trailer, best of luck. We got rid of 34' triaxles because they're just too heavy to do tonnage work....
Had that happen with a load of rock last year. Froze in the trailer. 26 tons standing up and nothing moving. Couldn't get it down fast enough lol
Had an 06 ACERT, in an 07 Pete. Ran it till 1.3 mil and sold it. Bad mistake. Truck was solid and did all I needed day in and day out.
@Catmando I know a bit about fountain Run..haul feed in there to cpc from time to time. Big place, looks like nice facilities. Roads getting in...
Copy that...yeah a lot of what I saw them doing flatbed wise, well let's just say was probably pretty cheap.
