    I think soliciting is against forum rules. I'll pass.

    With my 35 years experiences with my big RIG its the best use good dispatching service with good % of commission and good experiences with brokers. They can find goods lines with good rates and set you up for whole week and save your time and you can make more money. And i don't see problem with 45' trailer . Maybe you have because you self dispatching

    You can find good customers and brokers on your own if you're a self starter. I booked close to $250,000 gross revenue last year and well under 100,000 miles pulling a 53 reefer and 53 dry van and power only. Almost 50% of those miles were deadhead, home every weekend, off several weeks. I will run circles around you and any dispatch service out here. A 45 foot van trailer is worthless in this business except for highly specialized.

    You are correct, and Big John61 is a desk driver, based upon his IP address. So I showed him the door.

    Big John61 has left the building. He's not a driver.
