    Hi

    I’m planning on going O/O pulling containers in the Jacksonville,FL area. I’m searching for a decent carrier to lease on to. I’m looking for local work. Any O/O’s trucking in the South east corridor with any info on who pays well/decent ? Any carriers that I should avoid? Just want to gather as much information before I hit the ground running

    Thank you in advance

    I pull cntrs. Yr best bet is to call around and ask some questions. Also talk to the drivers of various companies.
    Do you have yr TWIC and Port Badge?

    Question: is getting your own authority worth it money wise hauling containers?

    1) the port badge is free and easy. shouldnt take more than 30 mics to get it.
    2) I never investigated having my own authority. Not something I would be interested in.
