Hey everyone, I think it would be a good idea to put a list together of all owner operators name, phone number, and location. It would be a good way for drivers to be able to work directly with companies rather than having to pay middlemen and brokerage fees. This list will be mainly for our guys in the Southeast of the United States, but or those of you finding yourselves in Florida and Georgia especially it can be a good opportunity for steady work and one time deliveries as well. I foresee almost everything being a van and maybe a flatbed. Thank you everyone I would like to hear what you think about this idea and what we can do to make it better.
