    a friend of mine who specializes in load out trailers and power only loads just developed a new website to make it easier for people like you to find trailers to use. check it out http://www.availabletrailers.com

    load out trailers can be a little tricky, you have to get them where they need to go and find loads to put on them to make money as well, but I've found it can be profitable if you do it right.

    You might call schinder. They use to let you use their trailers for little of nothing. You pickup a loaded trailer, delivery the load, get paid for delivery and get to run other freight with the trailer. Then they back charge you after so many days (think 7 days) if you don't move another load.
    They probably still have this deal.

    Star Freight is power only. They set you up ready to roll. Plates, insurance, permits, etc. So does Trailer Transit. They are based in Indiana.
    My husband and I worked for both. Mostly moving empty trailers which is good on the truck. Frack tanks on occasion and moving vans.
    Good luck!

    PTL also has a deal like JB Hunt. I was getting regular e-mails from them for a while.
