    Customizing loads to fit warehouse needz means more truck loads. There is a reason why shippers load freight to the tailgate even though its over 40k. They dont care if you get a ticket on a bridge law

    But to answer the header . I have always leased to a company at 70% all my properties (2rentals) and toys are paid for. Now im paying for new truck and pole barn for truck and toys. So i have made money. I have never owned my authority. Always leased on

    I don't have a reefer, but couple of my friends do. They usually run the whole 70.

    10,000 a week is not bad at all if you can average around 2.25 a mile.
