    Can anyone give me an idea if it would be a good idea to start running flatbed out of Philadelphia/suburbs?
    is there a lot of work? Where and who? No lease own authority

    I live in Philly, I leased to TMC. Do you have your own truck? We have freight in port of Camden, but not much in Philly. I can get home weekly with freight going through Philly.

    Being that you specified no lease own authority- yes, there's work. Idk what kind of plan you have local/regional. I get loads out of the Philly area running back up to ct or ma because that's what I'm looking for; I never looked for local type of runs nor do I ask about local work from that area. Make some phone calls, knock on some doors. That'll give you a good cross section of potential to work with.
