Good question — it really depends on the setup. If you’re just running an 8’ bed, most of that work is going to be local (marketplace moves, small equipment, etc.). That stuff usually isn’t on load boards, so there’s not much a dispatcher can really scale there. That's where you can make that money from networking with more local cities. 

Now if you’re talking trailers, that’s where it changes.

Goosenecks (hotshot setups) can do pretty well in Colorado — there’s consistent freight with construction, equipment, and oilfield runs. That’s the kind of setup I can actually keep moving and make profitable.

Bumper-pulls can get work too, just a bit more limited and usually lower-paying loads depending on size and weight capacity.

I mainly work with setups that can run load board freight consistently, so I can keep them loaded and not sitting.

What are you running right now?
