    Do dry freight to West Coast and produce back. Or meat west, produce back.

    Seems most people on here are job scared and not willing to share.Heck they can not haul it all with one truck and want to cut rates to get the other mans loads.Be honest and do a good job on time and you will get repeat calls from shippers as well as brokers.It used to be called service.I will post some good brokers and I do not and will not move for under 2 bucks a mile.You may get a lowball rate but usually you can get these guys up to around 2 bucks.Most of these have loads in the southeast.Tom Lange Co.800-504-0066 DST ,Transportation 770-718-0047,Grist Truck Brokers 800-647-3698,FAK 888-256-2350,John Green 800-539-5984,H&M Bay 800-932-7521,Northland Express 800-748-0550,Jerue 866-244-8509,Allen Lund 800-206-9648,Ozark Produce 866-637-4500,CBT 770-967-0173,Choptank 410-673-1240,Jennings 706-835-2010,Redland 770-309-4332,Sargents 772-918-8585.I wish you luck,and maybe some of these numbers will help.

    tiger it does't matter how old your truck is but your reefer have to be 2002 and up in order to run in CA

    If you're still looking, send me a PM and I'll share some info with you that we don't need. I'm no dispatcher or solicitor or anything like that, just trying to help. We sold our reefer and have some names and numbers, wasn't sure what to do with them.

    Looking for serious reefer carriers only. Large volume of freight going all over the country, looking for dedicated carriers able to commit trucks year round.

    Frozen
    Must be able to haul 45,500
    Lane ownership
    7-10 day pay terms

    Call to check rates and see if there is a lane that works for you.
