Fellow Firefighter needs a little assistance

I am a Lieutenant with a suburban fire department on the east side of Dallas, Texas. My wife is the office manager for her fathers trucking company and we own two trucks of our own that operate within the company. All of the trucks typically haul milk, but due to the economic times business has drastically decreased. For that reason, we are looking at other types of trucking; tanker, dry van, and reefer. We have recently made contacts nationwide to increase business but it appears our efforts have not improved our situation. The company as a whole operates 14 trucks and we pride ourselves in reliable service to our customers. My wife will before long inherit the business from her father so we are highly motivated to improve the situation. That brings me to asking my larger family for assistance with contact names and information of anyone that needs the services of a dependable trucking company. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

Best of luck, I have two Field service trucks, set up for heavy equipment, that have been sitting in my drive way for 3 months. Six months ago those trucks never saw the driveway. Due to current economic situations, the majority of my customers are fixing to close up. Several of my customers are welll established companies in the DFW metroplex, with jobs on the book, but banks are not releasing the money to start the jobs.
