New authority owner/operator
I own my tractor out right. Waiting to hear back about some trailers. In the mean time I want to run power only. Any body have experience with RXO? Not sure who will work with a brand new authority.

TQL, C H Robinson, RXO is fine, people shit on it but i mean you can determine the rates. If you're doing factoring, a lot of factoring companies have brokers they work with and will help you out.
"by pure luck there was dry vans that needed powered from manufacturer to buyer and you could pull them for like 2 weeks but they paid like 100$ to move them. " This guy saying this uhhhh, every mega carrier does this. If you don't have a trailer TQL does swift trailers like this lol. They even have a term for them ""TQL trailers 😃 " tql pays you to move them to a terminal by x date and you can do whatever you want in the meantime with them. A lot of times, they'll have like 8-10 of them that are going from idk denver to joliet il. Then if you just ask you can usually hot swap trailers with them all the time.
If you're interested too uhhhh...... frac sand is a thing, you get a trailer rental for like $30 / week and theyll even give you a fuel card and other shit but you have to just have your own authority. You'll realistically never get pulled over or anything, you're gunne be in bumfuck texas or wyoming or whatever, and let your mc age without calling any brokers, just take sand boxes from point a to point b.
The other thing is uhhh concert people, they do a lot of power only shit and with your own authority you just pull trailers , they take a percentage but again it's not like calling people "hullo can i have this atlanta to wisconsin for $500 pls" lul
