Ethics ?? If its not forbidden in your contract (read all of them)the GO FOR IT! What the he11 ya waiting for man! You got bills to pay too.
I take a jab or two at ya every now and then, after all your a lib. But that dosn't mean I don't want you to do good.
I'm a company driver, I drive an OTR truck for an OTR company BUT I've hauled the same stuff from the same place to my home town now for five years. Most nights it could fit in a 6 wheel truck legally. Why do you think the shipper pays (and they do PAY) for more truck than needed? Some of it's the company I work for but some of it's me. I make sure it's there on time, If I might not make the window I call them and tell them so they can sleep in. if I break down I MAKE SURE THE LOAD IS T-CALLED I do not leave that to night dispatch! I unload the product and stage it for the local guys. SERVICE IS THE KEY!! You need to show a shipper how you can do the job BETTER then others for the SAME cost. Don't try to get into a bidding war by undercutting someone. If they ship with the cheapest guy they can find you won't have them long.
Start calling and calling and calling. Stop by with a dozen doughnuts and your card, When I had the body shop I loved free shizit!
See this is what a CAPITALIST would do, so you've got a lot to learn!
