Starting a container company

I'm really thinking about bringing my authority back up and do the ports but I'm not so sure

 

There is money to be made I still say I would be helpful if u had a couple of your own acounts to get you rolling most co. Unless you know them won't say hey I can't cover this you want it. I've been working containers since 1986 get teng worse all the time folks willing to cut rate to get work. Is a freaking rat race

 

I can't tell you how many folks I've assisted getting going in port . I'm moving into a specialized type of freight I'm not saying doing what cause I'm done giving out my secrets and tips but 3- 4 dollars a mile loaded or mty is what I'm looking at enjoy the port and good luck it was good to me but guys hauling overweight with trucks held together with bandaids it's a disgrace. There was a time when everyone ran solid good equipment due to the cutthroats you can't afford to fix your truck anymore the illegals are destroying trucking

 

I have a very strict maintenance procedure with my trucks if you think with 3 trucks and 20k in the bank I can make it hit me up

 

How's the driver situation with you that's the biggest problem out here the wrong driver can ruin you.

 

If you have your own chassis that can be a plus co. Are billing customers 75.00 per move just for chassis charge

 

1 seasoned driver,me and a new driver that I'm planning to use as cheap labor to get the boxes and bring it to the yard... I'm planning to buy atleast 3 chassis from the ports of Florida so they don't have much winters on them

 

In Boston you can lease brand new ones for about 300 a month maybe try that first just saying I think Trac charges 25.00 per day but there not very good although they do offer chassis with radials tubeless instead of bias tube type

 

What's the insurance difference between van and Port's
