Contractor Sales of Albany NY, 518-456-1445 I took a broker load out of there, but it was a Roller that was 12k in weight, they might have some stuff that would work on your trailer though. The load I took paid well $500 for 133 miles to CT. Broker Anna Smith out of Rice TX 903-654-8918.
M & L Trucking out of Rome NY 800-756-1331.
I have pulled several loads for them, usually MI to the East coast, but recently I took a bailer for them out of Syracuse back to MI. The Customer was KVERNELAND 315-431-3501 the load was 14' and 3500 lbs it was $1 a mile LTL. I have gotten 1-1.50 a mile Ltl's from them.
M & L might have many local accounts or you might go direct. With wanting to stay in NY you might need to look at HOT SHOT load pricing witch means 2.50 to 4.00 PM to make it worth your while. Your small trailer might be Ideal for running hot loads to the CITY and LI.

I do not want to come off as out of line or anything like that, but working a day job & running a commercial truck becomes next to impossible as you are suppose to log your day job hours along with whatever time you spend on the road. Burns the maximum hours you can work window pretty quick.
Not sure what your exact situation is, but maybe look at selling one of your trailers and run with the other to create some capital as well as focus on one segment of business.

From your original post it appeared that you are working a full time job and driving. LBZ was trying to point out what the rules are. You came back with a sarcastic smartass response that was uncalled for.
Nobody knew your experience level and that you had a driver. We try to help people out here and the majority are new to this business and you came across as a newbie.
We will be glad to help out where we can. Your situation is not unlike others that are on here and on other forums. I and others appreciate your willingness to work hard and try to make a living and support your family. We all admire someone like that. I know you are under a lot of stress but you need to consider that we don't know you are anything about you.
There are many folks here willing to lend a helping hand. Try not to bite the hand of those trying to help or no one will be willing to help.

I am sorry that it all went to hell in a hand basket. We all have been under a lot of stress at times. I don't know if you are a Christian or not but if so the best thing is stop take a deep breath and turn it over to God. If you are not a Christian it sure seems like the time to call upon the Lord for help and start trusting HIM. I will be praying for you.
If there is something we can do to help please ask. The least all of us can do is to pray for you. May God bless you.
