I have only had my authority for a year and never ran a reefer before.
I do have over 25 years exp as a leased owner op though
I am only away from home 1 night a week(tonite in matter of fact)
I set this up to be home as much as poss and no weekends
The only place I have ever run is
Metro NY - Boston-Balt-Harrisburg-Milton-Albany thats it.
So I have an advantage
Every week I pick up a load of frozen fish ltl 4-8 stops in Boston and work my way down to Gettysburg and finish on Wed am
The rest of the week I just need busy work to get me back to Boston for Mon.
The rates are pretty decent in the above area and I can afford to live in NJ and eat in a nice restaurant now and then
But let me warn you
If you are going to get your own authority
You need a mentor willing to help you with a list of tried and true brokers. |

That sounds manageable. Thanks for sharing that.

Definetly yes. I'm still doing alot of research into the business so I haven't put together a plan as of yet, but that's great advice, thanks again.
