It depends on the type of freight you want to haul and whether you prefer a dispatcher or company that is agent based and you dispatch yourself. Some carriers are stronger in some areas of the country than others.

I'm based outta Las Vegas, NV and want to run dry van no haz - longer the distance the better. Got a freighliner century 05, no trailer, own insurance and authority. Ideally want to do my own thing but need to be sure I'm gonna get paid.... Any advice you can give would be much appreciated.

How long have you had your own authority and how many loads have you hauled under it? Also, how long have you been driving.
I hear Swift pays pretty well, and on time. US Express has a pretty impressive o/o program as well. Might be worth checking into.

I have just barely got my authority.
And yes, did have "semblance" of a business plan - which to cut to the chase fell through because the small carrier I was going to run with now tells me they haven't the loads to spare...oh well...hence I am shopping.
