I have a truck that I've had for years that hasn't been doing anything and I have someone that wants to drive it. I currently work for another company but would like to find some work for this truck and driver. Does anybody know of any companies around aberdeen sd looking for owner op or something similar to lease or contract onto? Thanks for any help.

I am looking for professional drivers, owner/ops & small trucking companies to join the fleet on our dedicated dispatch program. Year round dispatch service that works with you & your drivers (no forced dispatch)! A Centrally based company with a hardworking Midwestern work ethic! We are not just some brokerage like many others out here just wanting to “manage” your drivers while taking YOUR $$$! We work off of a 90/10 split but we are very willing to give up part of our portion to make a load or round sexier. Norag has several of our own mills, elevators, crushing facilities across the Midwest to help secure and keep our customers choosing Norag. Please call, text or email to put NorAg to work for you so we can start making you & your trucks $$$ today! 100 yrs. combined of experience in the industry w/ a relaxed, reliable, diligent, passionate but professional group of people dedicated to growing the team in an ever changing industry. Not getting any detention where you are at?? Not a problems here! It may take a bit but let NorAg go to bat for you when you are detained so that your truck can take home a paycheck & not waste their time sitting while already out on the road. This program is designed for a team work environment and have amazing communication from start to finish on all loads! From the drivers to the customers we work tirelessly so the trucks are moving making the most $$$ possible. With our experience we cater to all 48 states (plus Canada if you are able to) but our main foot print is in between the mountain ranges (Rockies - Appalachians). We are open to trucks running OTR, regional, semi local or even ask me about running with a company truck with one of our amazing carriers we work with! Trailer Leasing, driver referral program, Firestone tire program & Fleet One Edge fuel cards all available upon request to our dedicated carriers! Paid every Friday via ACH direct deposit!

Call me ASAP! I look forward to speaking & working with you soon!

Are you looking for Hopper work for that truck or are you okay with something else?

Lease on to the company you work for

you are on your own finding contacts

starting out you will need deep pockets

DOT the truck make sure no leaks tires aren't out dated find a trailer 1200 month lease flatbeds are around 900 always refrigerated vans to run south or SE

spending big bucks when the truck needs repair away from home

going to be hard when the insurance doesn't like new.

you can always go with Gavilon hauling distillers to feed lots.

if the truck has been sitting for extended period of time. Brakes

just run across the big yellow brake tester Truck passed. If your truck doesn't pass you have to have it towed to a shop that is authorized DOT to get it fixed

inter or intra. Older truck no eld

mistakes on the eld = short vacation or out of service

As far as type of work goes I was looking for something like hopper bottom but would be open to other options. I can't go with the company I work for because it's just a small local thing so I was kind of looking for someone else to work for, as far as money goes for all the costs and repairs thats not a problem. I'm just mostly looking for a company to lease onto to get started sooner and keep things easy.

If you are a member of Bulk Loads, you can go to the top of the page look at "Jobs". There is a list of companies looking for O/O. I dont know if anyone of them do a lease program or not but its worth a try and a start.
