As I’ve stated before, I own a small to medium sized trucking company. Most of our loads come from load boards as we are not big enough to secure dedicated lanes with companies like Walmart, Purdue, Aldis, Target etc.
One of the brokers we work with out of Carnegie, PA (large) called me about a dedicated lane for Bridgestone tires from Allentown, main distribution center to Nashville. Apparently the LARGE carrier that has the contract is in breach of contract as they cannot find enough drivers. My DOT consultant also called me asking if I’d be interested in buying a business with 20-30 trucks in PA. I asked why the owner was selling and he said he cant find anyone to drive his trucks and payments, overhead, insurance are killing him. More to come.
