Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a load of produce and resell it to a terminal market? For example let’s say I buy a load of watermelons from a farmer or a wholesaler, is it possible to later sell the same truckload to the Chicago Terminal Market?
I would love insight on this because I thought of this idea and don’t really know if it is viable.
Thank you!

Used to haul a lot of produce from "produce brokers"
They would buy a load, tell you to head east and call the next day. Usually sold to someone by the next day.wore out, Regional, Short Fuse EOD and 2 others Thank this. -

If you pay for the load yourself, and you take ownership of the load, sure you can. Good luck with that, though. Maybe if had a consignee lined up before you bought the produce. Good luck with that too. Lot of sharks out there.
