    I am at my whits end for work for this puppy truck. I am buying a sleeper soon. however, If I can use this puppy truck I would like too. I tried FEDEX, can not get anyone to give me information. I have even talked to supervisors there. They are zipped mouth. What is Hot air? or is that a joke? I am doing research on Hot shot freight. remember this is a DAY CAB. Over night is a nightmare. and Deadheading back is a zero sum game.

    I will look into Sand and gravel. Now, this is a single axle day cab. max load is 20K Lbs. It is a puppy truck. however, I will see if I can work any part of these markets. I never thought of these markets . Thanks.

    Anything sand,gravel will require your truck to haul a minimum of 23 tons. Nobody will ever hire a truck with low weight capacity like that. I work in this type of industry. You will need your own trailer as well. You need 18 wheels but there is a lot of money in it if you live in the right area.

    you can't haul the heavy stuff with a single axel FedEx will not hire you direct you probably can hook up with one of there contractors try local frieght agents also they might have a lot of stuff they need ..... plenty of Texas loads coming out of Dallas

    Get set up to haul portable storage sheds. It's a huge market and your single axle would work great. You'd need to be able and willing to invest a lot in equipment. It's also hard work but pays well if you're not scared to work.
