    If you are willing to drive to where the good rates are, you'll be able to do okay with just Uber and Convoy and possibly a couple of the large brokerages that will work with new authority. I hauled over $100k in freight with just Convoy last year, and only went east of Denver 1 time. My authority turns 2 years old next month.

    Their power only varies from $1.30/mile to $3.00/mile. You'll find 90% $1.30/mile loads.

    Do they have to learn how to turn over and block the interstate or do they teach you how to wipe out?

    It's an essential skill that is most definitely a prerequisite.

    Where's your location? If your in the northeast you'd be way better off doing power only for Kane out of Scranton. They're advertising 2.00 on all miles running the north east. See some decent looking rides pulling their wagons
