Seasoned Expediter
Hi, I'm new here and have a couple questions. Basically, here it is: I have a small 4 truck (two 14' trucks, two 24' trucks, all under CDL) moving company located in MA. There's 2 parts to the year here for a moving company, the summer you worry about working so much it kills you, and in the winter you worry about paying the bills. I've been doing this for almost a decade and the name of the game is figuring out the winters, so here's my question... Would it work to try and pick up expediter loads in my moving trucks during the off-season? I have a bunch of excellent drivers, good trucks, and all my FMCSA paperwork is good. In the summer all 4 run every day 7 days a week, in the winter maybe 1 or 2 are out most days. Could that work or is there something I'm missing?
Right now we run to NYC once or twice a month, almost always emtpy on the way back, and on occasion elsewhere. Other than that we stay local (most of our jobs for moving are less than 20miles a day). Our trucks have between 70K and 190K on them.
