    Been thinking id like to get on some sort of dedicated run but, I have to wonder if its
    a wise decision being a o/o. Are there dedicated runs out there that we o/o can do
    and still bring home a decent wage after truck payment?
    What are some dedicated routes I should look into? Home time isn't a priority for me
    miles are. I just want to keep rolling, this sitting ½ a day only to get a 300mi load is killing me.
    im out of the PHX terminal if that helps.

    Dedicated runs are nice if they pay decent. Trouble with this business is nothing ever lasts.

    Someone will come along and undercut you, just to get the business.

    Zuki, all you can do is run the numbers of the account that is available.
    If it pays well, even 300 miles per day can make money.

    Check with MCA and see if they use OOs. Can't get any more dedicated than mail.

    I think that the only way to get on Wally world, you have to live near the DC, or it is during a surge when extra help is needed.
