    Hello I am a owner op and need some help. I am currently getting loads form central board and some other load boards. How can I get contracted freight out of the ports or rail yards? I have hauled cars for united road and couple other carriers from the port/rail yard but recently the yards I go to have slowed down a lot and the prices dropped very low. Trying to find another lane in the north east that I can just run back and forth instead of taking days off because of low rates or no vehicles

    A single O/O has zero chance of scoring a contract with a manufacturer. Not trying to burst your bubble, but it's the way it is. It's a tough game to break into, even for small companies.
