    Get your own authority. Get load boards.Start booking yourself. Start getting to know shippers. Landstar and the like are robbery. You can do it.....

    Ideal carrier that I would like to join

    1. Allows flatbed, stepdeck, dryvan, reefer, and most importantly, Autohaul trailers. I can bring in my trailers.

    2. Self dispatch using any loadboard
    3. Fuel card with good fuel discounts ($0.40+ off pump price).

    4. Have cargo insurance of atleast 250k, but up to 500k is best.

    5. Carrier charges 10% to 12% max of ratesheet.

    6. Discounts on tires via national accounts

    7. Low insurance costs

    8. Base Plate program

    The current company I am leased on provides most of this list. The only two things that I wish they can offer is 250k to 400k cargo insurance and allow Autohaul trailer.
