Many of the expedite carriers do have freight in your area. You would just need to be a "partner carrier" with them. Others will have better information on how to go about it, but you already have the authority and insurance in place, I would probably go that route. A lot depends on whether your financially capable of enduring the learning curve.

Of course, you could always lease to a good carrier, make decent coin and let them worry about the collection and compliance issues.

How far did you go with the customer you had? Landstar wants 6 months otr 48 states before they even consider you.

What kind of equipment on the truck? Liftgate? Do you plan on running team or solo? All that can make a difference on which carrier you chose.
