    1. How many of you (if any) only run under 26K lbs.?
    2. Is it possible to have a weekly dedicated run?
    3. I live in an area where construction/building is booming. I'm not connected and was wondering how to best find out if there is a need for weekly local deliveries.

    Start cold calling different companies to see if there is a need.

    What I can tell is that staying under 26k is really going to limit your options. I run a 40' hotshot and I would be very limited if those loads were my only option.

    I run under 26,000 only but I am also mainly auto's, however after some consideration and almost a year and a half of running mostly autos I am stepping up and moving to freight and retaking my CDL. It's not impossible to run autos under 26 but from what I've seen it's nearly impossible to survive under 26 with freight. JMO

    I live 6 miles from an ADESA auto auction place but don't know how to get hooked up with them as an auto hauler. Something tells me it isnt as easy as going over there and signing up.

    I know a guy who went to the auction and rented a booth bypassing all the brokers.
