    Convoy has a lot of power only in Texas. From what I could figure, you’ll make about $20 per day after fuel.

    I decided to run flatbed for a local company 10 miles from my house. All regional in texas only loads. Home most night and weekends. Bennett. Not making crazy money but doing fine.

    I recently had to try running Power Only for a couple of months before I finally managed to buy a trailer, and the conclusion I arrived at was this. There's only one load board that offers anything close to a meaningful number of PO loads, and that's cheapo Amazon's. Although maybe, as mentioned, the oilfields might offer some hope?
