    A hot dog stand would earn more money with less overhead. No shortage of cheap freight haulers

    That's a recipe for bankruptcy. A one truck MC is NOT going to be more efficient or lower cost operator than an MC with 50-200 trucks. So your idea will have you fighting over the lowest paying freight while over-paying for maintenance, fuel, insurance.
