first let me say that as a general rule, I don’t use brokers. I do have a couple that I’ve worked with in the past that will call me on a local load every now and then though.

The broker calls me and says he needs a air compressor moved, legal load. I don’t want to fool with it because I’m already running behind, but the pick up point is literally 5 miles from where I’m at and the delivery is on my way back to the yard. I quote him $500 to haul it 40 miles, he agrees and says go pick it up.

I’m thinking one of those big industrial compressors that weigh 15,000 lbs. I get there and this is what they put on my truck. I’d think you could buy one of these brand new for less than the haul bill.

I run a 1" CP impact on mine fine. Do all
my own tire work. Unless on the road. Works fine. Now if I was gonna do body work I would go bigger. But I have 0 plans of that.

Those are nice air compressors, could 2k pretty easy. That deliver to a repair shop or someplace I'm guessing?

It actually came from a place that made signs that went out of business. It was delivered to another sign place. Apparently it is used to supply air to some sort of sign making machine.
