    Loads For Newbies!!!

    My comment was misleading. Landstar has a division for TT's that allow you to pull loads off their board from your laptop. I was hoping someone had a similar program. Don't know where to start looking for cargo van frieght (other than get loaded)

    Anybody finding van freight on their own ??

    Just asking to see if its doable. I know a guy (retired) that runs a courier service and runs freight up and down the east coast but the longer/better paying loads are pretty scarce.

    If you need help finding backhauls, I may have found a solution.

    If the charge isn't too much, I think its a great idea. The only way I can keep up with the load boards is to be sitting at my laptop. You are dead on that the good loads go quickly !

    Is this a truck dealership you're talking about ?? Or do they do sleepers as well ?? I've been looking into having some work done on an existing sleeper and most seem to be located in Indiana. I'd love to find someone on the esat coast.

    Moving New Truck w/o tags ??

    Thanks ..... I talked with DMV and you're right on .... a trip permit will do what I need. I was unsure how the other states would look at it. I'm looking at using OOIDA for insurance.
