    Sure, it's just a few minutes of his time to make a phone call. Never know when you'll get a tip. 0/0's aren't going to share their bread & butter and can't say that I blame them.
    Maybe he should try the loadboards on www.OOIDA.com

    You missed the humor. Sorry.........when a question is in the air China usually has an answer typed before it hits the ground.........the "I have no idea" part of your post made me #### near spit coffee!!

    TO THE OP: get a subscription to Internet Truckstop and stop asking questions like that here.............do you REALLY think a bunch of owner ops are just going to offer up golden sources of freight?? SPEND the money, INVEST the time; we have to: YOU have to. Here's a tip though: some of the best direct freight I haul comes from places with little to no internet presence.

    Yes sir I heard of them! However, after getting shipper loads for my reefer, I started hating those agents on load-boards. The dry vans are paid for, so I don't really mind hauling cheap freight. But It can't be super cheap like some brokers. Yeah these brokers man I hated them since I started I started trucking. Some are cool though.

    I didn't miss the humor; I liked it. It's fun to throw something odd out there at times. Now, enjoy your coffee!

    Your equipment is paid for therefore you "don't mind hauling cheap freight" ????

    When you finish paying off your mortgage on your house, would you accept a pay cut because your debt is now clear?

    I wasn't talking about "where there is no internet presence".........I was talking about businesses that have little to no presence ON the internet; and have no need of ever being easily searched or sought out due to the high demand and specialty niche they occupy. There are MANY of those my Dune-T friend.......ya gotta go look for them.

    It's not that at all buddy. It's niche. Like I said before my preliminary focus is reefers because I have direct shippers. I have these dry van that I can sell, but I am trying to put them to work instead. Now I can handle cheap freight if it's consistent rather then go to broker & broker for rates. That would just mess up my business niche with reefers. Good advice though. Thnk You.
