Depending on the type of freight box you have, size of truck, and what you are capable of hauling can determine how long to wait for a load.
As a dry box with government clearances our areas of the country that are good for freight are not always that good for a refrigerated truck without government clearances. When talking to other drivers deciding what areas are good for them make sure your type of truck matches theirs and you are with the same company. Different companies have different customers and while some parts of the country are hot for one company they are slow for others.
Learning first when your company typically offers loads is the first item on the agenda. In our experience loads are usually dispatched later in the day and not often on weekends. If a holiday weekend is coming up loads are often offered that do not pickup for several days. With some companies you can book a load for a later date and still be available to run loads while waiting for the one booked later.
