Is anyone aware of a good company to lease to that has freight for my stepdeck trailer, pulled by my big truck with a 120" sleeper. Both truck and trailer together are about 40,000# so I'm slightly limited to somewhat light loads. Thanks for you comments in advance!
CRST Malone has an a couple of agents who work together hauling jet engines. There are also a couple of other carriers who haul them. I don't recall the names. Another thing you can do is concentrate on over sized and heavy haul. You can permit up to 92,000 in most states with 5 axles. If you are at 40,000 empty, you could still haul 50,000 or so and be legal. I haul excavators and other equipment which requires permits. Some of the excavators weigh about 51,000. At one time Mercer had a lot of owner operators who drive big houses. They do a lot of military freight.
I'm leased to Admiral Merchants with a flatbed and my average payload is only 20,000 lbs.
I mostly run between the Carolinas and California.
We have trucks like yours leased on here.
Mercer has a lot of cheap freight. They also double broker a lot of freight. They eventually stopped calling me offering me cheap stuff. I did some good paying loads for them but they offer a lot of cheap stuff in between.
