The 1st year I went to my local marinas passed out cards with rates for pulling boats on their trailers. It worked better than I hoped. But to come home I'd pull some BS off u-ship!! LoL, Thank God that's over!!

I still can't get a good foot hold in local stuff. All I can pull is available, but it pays peanuts so screw em. That's even putting ~40k lbs on & still sucks..
I get some stuff on internet truck stop, or the DAT board. The ones from the board, sometimes me & my gal play games with them to drive the rates up. Trade secret..
Also I've been doing this ~6years, so I've got a pretty good data base of brokers built up. They'll call me, or email loads they think will work for my wagon, & I'll tell them where I'm headed, so if they need something moved they got a reliable, guy. Not that it's some feat of accomplishment, (well today maybe) but I'm always early, or on time, I communicate IN ENGLISH!, I'm polite, dressed for work, & I don't damage freight. Sad, but just doing the job makes a name for yourself today.. 
The direct customers I have are extremely spotty. All FL based, but I'm lucky if one calls once a month. Not high volume. To be honest, I've been a little lazy, & need to make some rounds. Had this step in service since October. My directs still only call for hotshot size loads. Maybe I can pick up some more from them, or even new customers now that I've got little more deck, & capacity..
I also do alot of late afternoon pickup, 0700 delivered loads. I've always got HOS left on my clock if need be. Crane apts. are another one I like to do. Possible late penalties drive up rates too.. I'm going to stop talking now..

I’ve been trying to fly below the radar until I get 6 months and then it’s f it all lol wouldn’t do me any good to come this far just to be fired right before my first 6 months, not sure if staying longer would get me fired though; luckily I have other family next door for neighbors and 2 other siblings650cat425, cke, Brettj3876 and 4 others Thank this.
