I am leased on to a local company here on the Island. It's OK. I have a dedicated run 5 days a week. I finish pretty early. I will search and find all my own loads to make extra money on the side. I also use a Local broker. There is a lot of freight in this area. You can can make a decent living here if you go out and get it.
JB hunt runs local here, 3P logistics, Cardinal logistics, TMC, Fed-Ex, etc. Just a little research and you will find more companies. All of these companies will lease you a truck, but you should get your own. It will benefit you in every way. Good Luck.
