You must know how to find the gems and not the crap.

Some Drivers are only signed up with a few Brokers and for one reason or another, lack the essentials to receive, fill out and return the Broker/Carrier package that would allow them access to other loads.
During our school years, we all received different grades on our report cards, this would reflect the level of success we achieve in most of what we do in life.BigJls1 Thanks this. -

If you can't do most of your own maintaince it will be a hard row to hoe for a while. Brokers want to get freight covered cheap as possible not to save the customer money but to fund their bank account. You can't haul 1.00 mile freight to get you to a better place that takes you back to a place you will get 1.00 mile. You will go broke. Get qualified with as many brokers as possible so you will have options, most of them offer quick pay now also which will help with cash flow. When I get offered cheap loads it's simple, no. I don't work for free and don't expect my drivers to.
