    We’ve been Owner Operstors for 30 years. We’ve never really had trouble finding loads until now. We’ve tried DAT and Truckstop. Neither one is panning out. Is it just us or is everyone on these loadboards having any luck finding good loads using these platforms? Any suggestions on other load boards?

    If you've really been an owner operator for 30 years you wouldn't be asking this question.

    Yeah, think 2017/2018 was way worse than this?

    Even so fuel was cheaper. The numbers say that we are at 2018 levels today. But I remember the end of 17 being devastating?

    The 3rd and 4th quarter of 2017 were excellent after the Texas flooding and first two quarters of 2018 were great too while everyone was trying to figure out the ELDs

    Well maybe it was 2016?
    I’ll have to go back and look? But I know I’ve seen way worse than this…

    First, don't waste your time with Truckstop. DONT EVER factor with Truckstop, EVER, they will screw you to leave them! They are liars and scammers. DAT is your best bet from my few years. I use DAT ONE which gives second to second updates and can get you to the front of the line quicker to bid on a load. The best paying loads are gone quick.
