companies in WI that hire owner ops?

Whenever I suggest intermodal, all the alarms go off, but I leased my tractor to a Bay Motor Transport, Green Bay, in the 90s, I think still in business, or several of the "other" intermodal companies that were offshoots of BMT. Usually Ft.Howard to Chicago, and all freight north or Midwest. They weren't too particular about age, as long as it passes inspection. With companies failing daily, intermodal is having record numbers, and it's the next thing, like it or not. Otherwise, getting to be slim pickens for an O/O, in fact, aside from intermodal, I'm not sure who is looking for O/Os. And it's not all white Volvos either, we had some nice trucks too. I didn't make a ton of money, but didn't put on a lot of miles and was home all weekend and during the week.

 

TraLo out of Owatonna MN. They do a ton for Seneca Foods around Wisco. They also run flats and conestogas. I made good money there, I left because it got hard to get home to Nebraska when the spot market tanked. They didn’t have freight around me so that was how I got to and from the house.

A few good ones and quite a few bad ones around here. All depends on what you want to do.
