I would suggest that you contract on with a courier or expeditor in your area. There are many factors to considerif you go out on your own, including : you have to get a legal authority to operate (government red tape), cargo insurance, getting and keeping customers, just to name a few. With a courier service they take care of all that, all you do is drive and collect a check. I work as a courier in Ohio and it works out nicely. I own the van and pay all my fuel, etc. and get paid a percentage of what they charge. I pay $27.50 per week which covers cargo insurance, uniforms, and Nextels. Brokers are Ok but again, you have to have the legal authority to operate and often brokers are very slow about paying you. Also check out expediting companies such as FedEx Custom Critical. Go to www.expeditorsonline.com to check out that side of the industry. Couriers tend to run more local, expeditors are more long trips and living on the road.
