most of what I heard was that free-lancing does not cut it,
you have to go through a company, and they take all the profit, and you end up working for free before you know it,

you gotta reckon: tires (both truck & trailer), maintenance, fuel, food, time, wear & tear, insurance.

i think there's too many guys out of work who will tow for NOTHING...so a guy can't charge a good price, because the other guys will underbid him.

i would contemplate this deep & wide.

FWIW, once you are in a dealership gig, like you are, you can usually float around from lot to lot for the rest of your life, esp once you have a customer base like you do.
