    I have my own tractor & 53 reefer; The company I lease on to set me home for a week & this is not the first time.
    If running under my own authority will get me going again, I'll do it but I would need some advise before I make the decison.:biggrin_25514:

    I call them up this morning, they need one year over the road experience, I got 9 mos over the road plus 8 yrs local experience so I'm Qualify.

    This I don't understand, company like this would rather take a student fresh out from school than a driver like me.:biggrin_25513:

    buy yourself a step deck or flate bed and haul od or wl's florida has all kinds of freight. Dont even have to leave the state if you dont want. Also check into running freight for norfolk southern out of jax. Everyone needs to have multi irons in the fire right now the market sucks.
