    Try posting your truck in any given area that you are, or expect to be in. I get the load alerts-lotta junk, as derailed said re cheap loads out of mass: you'll get to know which agency only has cheap no matter where, and which ones have a mixed bag, and if you get lucky you'll find out which ones don't post very often because they have good rates and don't want just anybody off a board to take it and make them look bad.

    They pay approved carries a WHOLE-nother rate LOL, Im a BCO and we see the Real rate. They hustle the approved carriers, the other day I was calling about a load and she didn't hear me when I said I was a BCO and she gave me a rate that was a THOUSAND dollars cheaper than what was posted lol then I told her; "I can see the rate lol, I'm a BCO" and she said "oh, well you see the rate" (which was $1K higher) ...

    anyway I've got over 50 load alerts today alone for 48ft flat over $3 a mile. (350 mile radius of monroe,La) So, I don't know what y'all are talking about. A 48 flat is always in need over here.

    so maybe y'all got to haggle with them some more I don't know. I'm seeing $4-$5 + freight all the time. We get 73%. So a load paying $3.50 a mile comes out to like $2.24 a mile after a .44 cent or so fuel surcharge.

    But that's just my 2cents, not trying to argue.

    Set the min rate on your load alert high enough so you don't miss the good loads while you are being covered with the cheap crap. Remember a lot of the cheap crap is being posted so it will go out to the broker boards.
