Its mostly in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. I fly my own flag (run under my own authority) and my business partner responded to a craigslist ad in Gr mi to run retread tires from a retread plant in Wyoming Mi to Gaylord, Detroit, Kalamazoo and Flint Michigan and Gary Indiana and Chicago. Since I stay in Kentwood Michigan I get to come home more on a regular basis.

Anyways my truck is a Freight liner m2 rhl185 and I own a 35 foot flatbed trailer and 30 enclosed auto transport trailer. This retread plant does not care as long as you can get it on some form of a trailer or big truck they will ship it.

As far as how I charge this company I charge by each tire I move. Say I have 130 truck tires at 110 pounds a piece. 110x130 14300 pounds of tires x.75 = total bill. (This is just an example)

If you wanna make that cash, you got to think outside the box and have cash on hand to run under your own authority.
