Hi Everybody,

Im 1/2 way through sorting my truck out and as the time comes near i am looking into finding contracts for work.  I primarily want to operate as a tow operator at the beginning and in an ideal world would like to do reefer work ( as my hearing isnt good and i have a back condition so minimal hands on work for reefer).  Basically i need a mentor who knows the game, in exchange i am happy to help with mechanical and electrical work and i have all the diagnostic equipment and a pretty decent workshop setup.  Load boards here suck, their nothing like the ones in the states and i cant for the life of me find a broker, any broker..... simply none advertise which is weird.......so how do people get contacts for work?

Cheers in advance,

Chris

I guess a lot depends on were you are in this wide brown land

If you wanna just pull fridge vans then possibly just contact some larger fleets, a lot of them use a percentage of tow operators

Owner Driver newspaper/magazine used to have this type of stuff in it

Brokers I don't think exist anymore that I know of, probably haven't for 20-30 years

Just jump on the phone when your ready and ring around

Most companies want late model trucks towing their trailers
