    Get setup with the following brokerage companies and get access to their load boards.

    Access America Transport
    C.H. Robinson
    Total Quality Logistics
    Landstar
    Sunteck Transport
    XPO Logistics
    UTi Transportation
    Coyote Logistics

    That should be a good start for you... Good luck!

    Add Command to this good broker list. But getting to know those brokers is a MUST!! Get 1 or 2 contacts at each brokerage who you contact ( poss. better rates this way). But what you really need to do is find your very own customer ( in your area) btw this means getting all spiffed up and hitting the streets doing cold calls :). If you are lucky... 1 out of 10 cold calls " might" get you your own customer! This way you are heading out with a nice paying load ( no extra fingers in the pie, just you and your customer). Then look to the " good brokers " to get you back home.... Rinse and repeat :)

    It is a little late to ask that question now don't you think?. You might have wanted to ask this question a long time ago.
