Cold calling

Yes it does. I've gotten a couple customers that way.

Just don't get discouraged. Keep calling.

 

I notice who is running my lane.
About 4 years ago, I kept seeing this straight truck on I-10 between LA & Phx. He was running with his windows down in the summer!!
I googled the name on the truck to find out where they were located and went to the office to talk to the GM.
He told me they were not looking for anyone at the time, so I gave him my card an bid farewell.
About 4 months later, I got the call. Been hauling for them ever since.

 

Yes. They got busier so they moved that guy to a local route, and gave me all the AZ deliveries & p/u's

 

The p/u and deliveries I get from this customer every week, more that pays for my fuel for the round trip now.
