Trucking: Trucking, party internet, internet company


Question
I own 3 trucks two 48 and one 53, like someone else I saw who asked a question we now use a third party Internet company to find loads but we are now ready to book our own loads and obtain contracts for consistent loads, how do I get in contact with the companies who can make that happen?
Thanks

Answer
Ashley, it's all about sales.  Start with companies you know.  Ask questions, get to the decision makers and find out what problems you can solve.  You may need to use the outside brokerage traditional or on-line to fill back haul or sporadic needs but over time with effort you can build up a portfolio of customers whose needs mesh with your capabilities.  Are you running dry, refrigerated, or flats?  What region?
