That’s my plan as well. Get PTT and spend another couple grand on tools and just do it myself. Get ahead of the curve where I can and limit breakdowns with due diligence and best service practices. I don’t think you can prevent them all...
So all I need now is to finish school, find a carrier, get experience, buy a truck, become an O/O with good lanes and. Freight, buy tools and manuals and ride off into the sunset. Easy huh? Hahahaha
Finally got my own truck

I wish it were that easy. I called on a local dedicated lane running tankers the other day, and I met all of the criteria they required except for having multiple trucks. They wanted to be covered in case a truck breaks down or driver can't make it.

I have not been to AZ in 12 years or so.
I'm sure there are some places that absolutely have to have trucks for profitable freight where shipping costs doesn't affect price or cost of goods as much as, who over pay out of necessity to have a dedicated fleet handle its stuff. But even so, I can't imagine there are companies who are just going to tolerate paying more than $2500 on a one day shipment. 600 miles or less, for dry van stuff. Even reefer or flatbed. Unless it's going to a dead hole and the price includes deadheading straight back. I can see $3000 on 500-600 miles max. Hardly ever see that on DAT board even going into no man's land.daf105paccar Thanks this. -
