Short Haul and Intrastate

Thats all I been doing is short haul the last couple months and its working out good so far but that has a lot to do with getting to know brokers. I have a few that will call me when they get local runs one offered to put me on a run on a regular basic that pays well over $2 a mile But with out the load boards and a lot of phone calls it will be hard because a lot of local have a lot of the freight locked in
