Find people or other businesses that are successful and copy what they do. Try to make connections with others in the business that you respect and learn every thing you can from them. Be willing to change I know you have been driving for a long time but have an open mind. Is your mileage crap? Fix that by utilizing proven ways that are available. Is it your lanes? Work different areas. Seems like from what I have read that freight goes thru different phases for different areas. Is it they type of freight maybe get a different type of trailer.
