    How do you think every other large and successful transportation company does it?

    For a short time I was hired to 'improve' a private companies trucking division that moved Hazardous Waste into and out of a sister company.

    I didn't last too long, the owner of the companies wondered why our margin was only 10% and did not like the response.

    When the 'sister' asked him to have our company meet all their transportation needs instead of paying a multitude of outside carriers.

    Then they 'sold' the idea by setting rates based on the cheapest prices they had going to the various land fills and incinerators projecting a major savings...FOR THEM ! ! !

    Fortunately the person doing the job had started backhauling any of the van loads he could averaging around 10% in the black after all.

    Somehow, the owner [owned a number of other companies, had been he mayor of his town] was expecting a greater return from garbage.


    A lot of the load boards are shipping the lowest paying freight in existence. and the OP [troll or just unknowing] expects to profit form the bargan basement work...

    Not the best company culture.

    I want to do either flatbed or drayage, and that’s per truck.

    I don’t know if you’re serious but thank you could I have 100 trucks before I need to come off load boards. Just worried there’s not enough freight to go around.
