Canada Ontarian Owner Operator in need of help and advice

[lazoexpress]

Hi to all, hope all is great with all Canadian truckers. I have been an owner operator for approx 3 month, and have my own truck and 53ft trailer. I am currently working in Scarborough and doing about 2-3 loads a day from Scarborough to Brampton, I make $150 per load plus 10% fuel. I live in Kitchener and drive everyday to Scarborough and back. Unfortunately there is no way my family will move to Toronto. I am looking so hard for local loads mainly in Southern Ontario, I have been to and searched almost every single Load board websites on the net and I could hardly find a single local load in Ontario. I have no idea where else to look for. If anyone can help me how can I find local loads and or dedicated runs in Ontario that pay by the loads. I am not very happy with my current job mainly because I cannot get any loads going into the Waterloo Region which would just make my life a whole lot easier.

Please I am desperatly asking for anyones help or advice, it would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Thank you and may God Bless you and keep you all safe on the roads.

Jose.

Lots of loads going to and out of the K-W, Cambridge, Guelph area. Most are taken by freight companies who have contracted in.
There is a load board with lots of Ont loads, but I can't remember the name (saw it only twice at Rush Int'l, but they were secretive about it). Rush got lots of loads for their straight trucks off it (daily). I tried looking for it but no luck sorry.
Visit the Husky's in Miss, read trade mags, call around, Talk to drivers etc. You'll find it.
