    How O/O in Canada find loads?
    I was told that a company has to have over 10 trucks to be approved by brokers.
    What are the names of the companies that work with single O/O?
    I looked up the loads at United Road load board but I barley found cars to be moved.

    Pretty high liability insurance those guys carry. Probably why they don’t just allow any one to pull them.

    You will have to do some knocking on doors and calling to find the work you want.

    It is unlikely anyone is going to give you names or leads as you are a competitor.

    Try auction lots, businesses with large vehicle fleets that need to have vehicles repositioned, vehicle brokers as a few ideas off the top of my head.

    I buy vehicles from salvage auctions, i see single truck outfits running a 2ton with a wedge all the time.

    Problem with one truck operations is what are you going to do when you break down under load?
