One time machine, coming up!!!
Good luck profiting on dedicated. In TT you find lots of owners willing to work for nothing doing dedicated, scheduled runs. Customers with freight fitting that bill shop it. Seems like lots of owners want a predictable schedule, easy routine. I would imagine it's no different with ST's. It will get bid down, down, down.

My only suggestion is to contact CEVA Logistics
Many drivers' would love a dedicated route. The predicability would allow for planning etc., etc. etc. The downside to that - like others have noted is that the compensation for those routes are at typically rock bottom rates. You pay for the luxury of knowing where and when you'll be hauling freight. Something to consider. Everyone has their own goals and circumstance. What's yours?

Your best bet is to try to develop a lane where you have multiple customers to pull freight for on both ends. That's what I do. I've got my Memphis customers and my Ohio customers. It works for me, and I'm doing good. I keep a load on my back and I keep rolling. I don't haul at discount rates either.

I talked to a contractor for this division of FedEX, it was regional, seven western states, home every weekend, truck looked pretty much like a straight expediter truck, I would of pursued the position, BUT didn't have enough experience.

My sister left FDCC to go to Fedex Supply Chain.
She loads Mon am, does a two day trip, back empty.
Reloads near home and does a two or three day trip. Sometimes home Thur, usually Fri.
Runs days , sleeps nights. Weekends off. Relatively steady income.
They have few openings but generally advertise here under business opportunities. They were looking for people for their trucks in Frt Worth, Tx, Reno, Nv, and Delaware.
Do not know if those positions filled. .
Sister, hard runner, TVal, good truck,Purple Promise Winner.
I believe her numbers are up because she works fifty weeks every year. Also, enjoys running solo and knowing the stops.
My brother-in-law runs a straight at Fedex Ground. M-F, no weekends or holidays.
Straights are rare, schedule the same . Works 08:00 to 17:30 with 2 hr lunch.
He makes enough money that I offered to buy his route. When he leaves his route will be worth about $60,000 plus the value of his truck.
