Yup, that’s true… Well, more like almost ½ Mil, just $12K shy. In the middle of a pandemic on Easter Monday I booked our first load. I had never taken a class to learn how to dispatch or anything. I just did a lot of research until I figured it out and made it make sense.
With a fresh authority and a Power Only (PO), I knew it would be difficult, but for every “No”, I found another broker to call. I finally got the “Yes”. The shipper was about 90 miles away and it was a roundtrip load, which was perfect because
I was going on the first run as well and needed to get back home. The load was picked up in Inwood, WV and had to go to Burlington, NJ. We dropped the trailer in New Jersey and had to take another one back to West Virginia. Easy Run… Not bad at all!
By the time we completed the fourth load, we were off the load board and had landed a dedicated lane. This lane brought in $10K alone every week! Let me say that again, $10K EVERY week. We spent about $1,700 on fuel every week and my driver was home everyday. WIN! This lane alone allowed us to expand… quickly.
Once we expanded the fleet, we were back on the load board until we, again, landed another dedicated lane. This was a sweet shuttle run that the drivers loved & it didn’t burn a lot of fuel. $300 for 29 miles and we were completing 4-5 loads each day.
God came through! There was an overflow of blessings. I had never had this kind of money sitting in the bank, we continued to land dedicated lanes and my drivers were home every day or every other day. Life was GRAND!...
