Whats The High Paying Freight ???

I thought the moving freight paid good. Get 3-4 shipments on your trailer and head for the other coast? Well I guess it's like everything else. Who you work with and what your willing to do.

 

I keep finding myself in the frozen tundra areas, that's paying ok atm for a box. Noticed the truck stops don't even come close to being full, so I suppose favorable truck ratio.

 

i hear hauling pot and immigrants pays well

 

The real money is developing your own direct customers and doing customer service, especially with HHG. Figure out how to market yourself, find your own customers, and sell your service. There's no silver bullet short answer for making more money. You'll need to put in a lot of unpaid hours to develop accounts or a customer service reputation that will pay big dividends years from now.

You want to be in a business with "barriers to entry" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barriers_to_entry). Note the sentence "distortionary prices". You want distortionary prices. The barriers to entry for running freight off of load boards are low. The barriers to entry for running high paying HHG is that you need to have been in business in a locale for a long time, have a good reputation, good branding and do some promotion. That's a high barrier to entry, and it will take a long time to crack that nut. I'm sure successful freight guys can explain what the long term plan for having direct customers is in that business, but it's probably time consuming, expensive and requires a lot of work off the clock.

 

I disagree. I held the dice for like 45 minutes once, no one made under $1,800.

 

Lol. You haven't tried to find a spot in AZ or CA for awhile. Your right, everyone is out here. I'll let you have the frozen tundra. Lol

 

This company can't find freight in CA. I mean Hellen Keller could find freight in CA.
I have 10 more months to do, until I own truck. Called my old carrier, going back there soon to do the super regional out of Phoenix.
The money isn't that much less and I'm by the house 1 day a week and have my 34 at the house, usually starting Saturday afternoon. So that's almost 2 full days at home while pushing my 70.
I did a drop in SD a few weeks ago, then reload in Fontana.
WHAT A CLUSTER ####.
1-1/2 hours to scale at the Petro. Didn't even go in for coffee, just headed to Barstow.
Never saw so many empty skateboards.
That place was so cluster ####ed it looked like something somebody drew in a comic book. T/A looked worse.

 

It is a cluster. I've stayed loaded but you are right. Soooo many boards and steps sitting there. And don't think about finding parking. I just avoid it for now.

 

Just don't dress like it pays well.
