    other than ltl what kind of daycab jobs are out there that pay decent? I dont see a whole lot of talk about it so I assume its a market not often ventured into?

    Hard to make decent money unless you run dumps.....Port loads pay crap for local haulers.....

    One possibility....Local heavy haul/lowbed....Pays good...But hard to get into the loop...

    Fuel, propane, block and brick for construction. Pre-cast walls and sewer drains. Depends where you live to because that might change your options.
     
  7. I see a company called LQK out there and I think they haul auto parts. Can't remember. I talked to one of those guys once and he told me he was an O/O and LKQ required daycabs. Not sure why. He told me he wouldn't think of doing anything else. Out and back meet and turn type runs is what he did.

    I don't know if the guy was full of crap or not, but I do see those day cabs and none of them are alike, so maybe they are O/O's.

    How far are you from the Menards mother ship in WI? Seem to have a decent O/O deal with most running day cabs our of IL. Sure they have same deal in WI.
