[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 2511931, member: 55017"] Sorry, not many Linehaul contractors here. I know a handful though. I believe the money is pretty good for the industry considering they are dedicated runs with guaranteed work. Finding qualified drivers is always a problem, but that's just a constant in the industry. The contractors that do long haul well tell me it's pretty good because we are putting up new buildings all the time which create more runs, so there is a lot of growth potential. I'd be worried about automation, fedex is setup for robot trucks. Long haul static routes with no customer interaction is ripe for automated vehicles, so it depends on your time horizon. If you can pay back your loan in 5 years and make good money in the meantime it's as safe as any trucking company. You just might not be able to sell it when you're done. [/QUOTE]
