Do you have a return load/trailer most of the time? Tell the Keifer folks if they have one that is dented I will buy it from them cheap!Can sleep when I'm dead.
Sitting in Winchester VA now. Brought up a trailer and gotta take one back. Should get home by a late bedtime. Tomorrow I work for an auction company.auctioning 2 pieces of land then to cattle market. Sunday night pull a trailer to South Carolina near Myrtle Beach. If I only his age again I could do lots more.
You are a long ways from home, about 9 hours one way I bet. I passed one of their cattle trailers on the road today and they sure look nice.Can sleep when I'm dead.

Might be advice that you look back on in years to come and thank old Fence for his important imput.If you're going to take a swing at doing this for a living.
Don't go to old with your equipment.
Breakdowns can cost you more than new equipment in a hurry. And people can be hesitant about hiring someone with old dilapidated equipment. Your going to need commercial insurance and it doesn't take much of a trailer behind a 3500 to put you in CDL requirements. Get set up right and be willing to put most of profit into paying for equipment at first. Blue sky will come sooner if you start up right.
You don't say, I have owned a lot of equipment,cattle and horses for less than 24hrs.There's money to be made hauling "your own stuff" around the state. If you catch my drift
Buy something for a dollar, take it "home", and sell it for $51.You don't say, I have owned a lot of equipment,cattle and horses for less than 24hrs.
Lucky is right. Logistics is huge right now in the mfg world. There are whole companies whose only job is to coordinate shipping. Most of the time one item may use multiple carriers to get to its final destination.Have you looked into using Uship? I've used then to haul stuff for me a few times. Might get you started or at least an idea of going rates.
Return this time was a 2008 model that's getting rebuilt. The owners haul race horses and the trailers are used every day. Took a 30 ft up and an 18 backDo you have a return load/trailer most of the time? Tell the Keifer folks if they have one that is dented I will buy it from them cheap!
Couple of thoughts, a good old truck is ok but can be a nightmare. I deliver in a 2014 Dodge with a 6.4 Hemi. It will turn over 601,000 on my way to South Carolina tomorrow night. Most wont last that long.One more option to get started. A friend of mine got hooked up with a few auction companies and hauls for them. When someone buys something online they give the buyer his contact so he deals directly with the customer. There's no middle man and he gets to work his own schedule this way as this is just a side gig for him. He hauls cattle and equipment. Back to Fences point of having newer equipment, this guy does this on the side and put nearly 100K on a new pickup in 2.5 years. Not sure the exact milage break down but he was very surprised how many miles he racked up on that truck.
We're at 65,000 plus since January 6th of this year. Can't get materials to build with or it would be more. Should hit the 100,000 by Christmas.One more option to get started.
