O/O looking for a change

Some other folks can chime in

I’d contact landstar and admiral merchants
Don’t worry about the percentage they take off the top.
The actual revenue per mile or per week or whatever is what matters .
I worked with a company for a couple years that took 25% off the top and they didn’t even own the trailers . It was power only .
they were just dispatch , but they knew the right people and got High paying loads
Even after they took their 25% I still got nearly double what everyone else’s was paying .

you’re on the right track,
You’ve got to have direct customers .

 

Check the trucking jobs section for Bonder. He has an ad for work in North Dakota for the summer. I don't remember the details but I'm pretty sure it is a lot better than load board freight.

 

The stuff that’s on the load boards is the crumbs

a lot of large trucking companies list stuff on the load boards to see if they can get it hauled cheaper than their own trucks can do it .

If you can pass the military background check you might want to see if you can get into some of the companies that haul military cargo
Although a lot of them require teams or at least a passenger who stays awake at night while the driver sleeps .

 

Your better off where your at now. Incase you haven’t been following the threads on here, it’s extremely bad EVERYWHERE. Only ones that are getting by are mostly the ones with a dedicated route. We are in a inflation crisis, it’s gonna take time to recover and next year probably won’t be any better due to being an election year.

 

Are you running there authority or do you have your own numbers?
