Ok..you've had the authority for a week already..how many $$$ have ya made so far??

Hey Orange, well I have not made a dime yet. As noted I got my authority last Tuesday eve. I had already filled out my agreement with Copart but did not want to send it in till I was sure of my authority being granted. So wed morn I sent in the agreement to Copart but as luck would have it the girl that handles it was sick . I actually called her and she did reaffirm that they needed a truck in the Bowling green area. I said that would work out perfect being that I would go thru BG to get to Nashville anyway. She said that she would look over the agreement. After a couple of days I have yet to hear from them so I called yesterday and she is still out . The Manager was there , he was the guy who originally told me that he would have loads for me but he as usual is very busy ( he is very hard to get on the phone ) . I left a # but as of this am no call. Also since I got my Authority I had my letters made, again I waited till I was fully granted . I could not put them on till it warmed up
so Sunday I put them on. My cards were printed friday and I got them
and went on a quest yesterday , handing out cards. I visited a lot of local dealers , the first one was in Sacramento KY about 17 miles from my home . He was interested and asked what I would charge to haul from Louisville. I told him I was new at this and would get back in a little bit
being that I was not sure the exact milage from his place to Louisville.
I learned a good lesson , I need to carry my atlas . Anyway I went on to several other places. One other dealer asked what I would charge to take
three Bentleys to FLA . This would be a 2000 mile round trip and he stated he could take them himself for around $800.00 . I said that I could not do that . Also the cars had to be on a truck or trailer , could not be on a wheellift, this would not work for me because of the size
of the three ( bigcars) . Anyway I left my card and he said he would call on me if needed for other loads. I did call the first dealer back and got a
voice mail so I have yet to hear from him. Several of the other dealers
were hauling their own cars but I left them a card anyway in case they ever needed help. I also went to two tractor dealers and both said thay may need me from time to time. I have sent in my info to a couple of loadboards on the net, one being CARSARRIVE . I suppose it takes a a little while for them to check everything out. Finally last night I ran across a broker that said they needed trucks and could keep them loaded . they charge 10% . I think if they did infact keep me loaded it would be worth it, So I sent in my info and will call their 800 # this am also. Tomorrow
( if I am not loaded ) I will go to the Auction in Evansville IN , about 45 to 50 miles away and hand out cards . I hope to get with copart, that would be a good gig but I gotta be flexible for any loads right now . I need to build a reputation and that could take time . I am not discouraged
at all . I expected this and am prepared to crawl before I walk before I run. I gotta get off this net ( dialup) and make some calls . Thanks Darin
