    Already answered, none.

    The only fighting chance you have with a 3 car is to get your own numbers and chase the money. And that is when business is good. Business is definitely not good right now. We'll see what 2016 brings but I have my doubts

    I'd agree with a three car you have to Hussle and it wears at you. Good luck

    I am not in agreement about that. I did better in 15 than 14. I think I learn better when times arent as good. I dont chase the money, I chase the relationships. That sets you up for the long term. Chasing the money is a quick fix. Do the hard work, manage the biz and give, give, give back. It pays back in spades for me.

    So you have your own contacts? Then none of this applies to you. The op was asking about loadboards and other places to find loads because he is new.

    Buying a new dually at any time would be the dumbest thing you could possibly do. Especially now that times are not good. If you insist on starting with a dually find one for under 30k at least. That way you don't throw as many thousands in the trash.
     
    canadianredneck Thanks this.

    Quick search on eBay has better deals than that:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodg...ash=item5d60fb4bc3:g:CkkAAOSwX~dWocNF&vxp=mtr

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodg...ash=item2810458b2f:g:4CkAAOSwCypWoW3i&vxp=mtr

    And you have to keep in mind any price you see online is thier "wishful thinking price". Calling them up saying you have a check with thier name on it and you can be there tomorrow should get the real number out of them. EBay takes a pretty good percentage of vehicle sales so the price you see has to account for that.
