A good gig would be a reefer and HOS exemption for hauling fresh fish from Atlantic coast to Chicago Market.
That would best work for a team operation (no HOS exemption needed).
Getting fresh cod from Portland, ME and get it to Chicago Market in 24 hours.
Fresh fish in Chicago is hardly ever fresh...that's a niche potential.
Best if you could handle the outlet and sell it yourself too.
Hmmm...how about that?Midwest Trucker Thanks this. -

great thing about hauling seed is the farmers are happy as all get up to see me. No waiting to get loaded. They normally have the seed set out waiting for me. 15-20min load time at most.Strongheld Thanks this. -

My trucking company pays me a salary of 36k a year. (For tax purposes) I also own a brokerage that pays the same per year. (Also for tax purposes). So total 72k a year.
Not much seed in the Roseburg area. I’m in the willamette valley. But it can be done. Sometime your in the right place at the right time with the right equipment (like I was) sometime
You have to look around for a while. But there is plenty of home daily work in Oregon even for an o/o. You might have to diversify to make it work throughout the year starting off.Strongheld Thanks this. -
Terrain Tamers, Ireland, Bettendorf...there are plenty of day cab jobs in Oregon.

If I was just starting out I’d go to work for Wilco, Valley Ag or pratum co op. Great pay, great benefits and a great retirement plan. And home daily. Also all of them use o/o every year because they can’t get enough employees for the work. Remember the Agriculture business is year round.
