Looking for place to lease onto.
Prefer doing white glove deliveries, medical, store fixtures tradeshows, etc.
( more work less driving)
mainly in north east, or east, with some mid west.
Own my truck, but not trailer.
Dont have hazmt, but willing to get. No tickets, accident, points etc.
Dont like job hopping, so looking for good fit.
12 years after being bought.
My company isn't even recognizable anymore.
Have started looking for new place to lease onto.
All the ads seems to say same thing, mostly BS
Where should I lease onto?

Thanks haven't done open deck since the 90's. Any van or tanker?

AMMF doesnt have much, if any van freight.

Before picking who to lease onto, nail down two things: your equipment/lanes, and whether you want steady miles or the highest rate-per-mile — the best carrier for one is the worst for the other. What are you pulling, and are you leaning lease-on for steady freight or to skip the authority/insurance hassle? Happy to lay out the honest tradeoffs — I dispatch both O/Os on their own authority and guys leased on.

Hey, 12 years with one company before they changed on you says a lot about your loyalty—that's rare these days. White glove and fixtures work definitely exists but finding carriers who specialize in it without their own fleet trucks can be tricky. Are you set on running without your own trailer, or would you consider pulling one if the right fit came along with the freight type you want?

As usual MONEY will determine the answer to those questions.
Since i usually only do 1200-1600 miles a week.
I look more at per day, and per hour pay than per mile.
I have zero interest in my own authority. That ship sailed years ago.
I sold my trailer when the new company said.
" you pull your own, but they aint paying more to do it"
If it was financially feasible, I would buy and pull my own. -
