    I have 3 bob tails, dodge 3500 with a flatbed trailer, working on getting a tractor trailer. Any forums/websites anyone can point me to the kind of work I can get done with the type of equipment I have? At the moment I cover from sacramento, CA to Elko,NV. With that type of distance I feel like companies would love the opportunity to use me to deliver their freight. Just having a hard time making those connections. If anyone can help me out that would be great. Thanks

    What are you calling bob tails? Your 1 ton dodge trucks? Do you have your own authority? Your working on getting a tractor and trailer because you can't keep the hotshots busy?

    So I have the box trucks (bobtails) for 3 dedicated routes to deliver 5 days a week. Have those going 5 days a week. I just cover so much space with those I feel like I can add to those routes and even make more. With the truck I do usually local LTL when I can find it. I'm based out of reno,NV. I've stayed busy and kept it going this way for the past year. Growing more is the issue, also want the tractor trailer for bigger loads my 3500 can't handle.

    You're on a forum full of some very good information. It's trucking not rocket science. Pick up the phone, or go be a salesman. You shouldn't have to come on here to figure that out.
