    Is there like a Craigslist type of thing where I can find freight to haul? I'm looking at becoming a straight truck O/O in the Milwaukee area, but I don't want to sub under anyone. How can I find my own contracts?

    I don’t know much about it but you could look into Uber freight.

    I have a 26' box truck and I was able to find some work running stuff for machine and laser shops. I knew some guys in the industry and just started putting the work out and people started calling.
