    My boyfriend is doing a lease purchase at CRST Malone and he is in the hole every week but for some reason refuses to give up on them and go somewhere else. I was injured and just had surgery so have been getting home loads from here at the home front.. does anyone know any good free load boards I can use? Malone has its own load board but there's very little on there that pays anything good. I would like him to get out of the hole and move onto somewhere else but until he decides to do this I will stick by him and help in any way that I can.. Thanks and have a blessed day...

    If he is doing a lease purchase, it is probable that he isn't allowed to book loads from other companies. Probably, if Malone lets him do it, they will want a sizable percentage of the revenue for the load he hauls. There are several carriers that have load boards for loads they need covered. LandStar has one at http://landstarbroker.com and J.b. Hunt http://jbhloads.jbhunt.com/jbhLoads/otrLoads/viewOtrLoads.do?method=initOutSrcMap as well as others have one also. Good luck with your search.

    I would suggest paying for a decent load board. One load would pay for it.

    Not sure why he is not doing good I just started pulling loads for them and must say I'm impressed...how long is he staying out? And where is he running?

    Are there any load boards anyone can recommend that I can pay for? I'm a little new at looking for loads since generally I try to avoid doing this and just drive.. Malone does allow him to get his own loads they just get 25% off the top.

    Most load boards require a MC# number just looking at the free boards don't really give you a idea of what the good loads are most loads with prices are just cheap and there sick of all the calls. Even if you could get loads of the boards you would have to find loads paying high $2.50+$3./mile just to get a decent rate...

    What kinda rates are he getting and miles?

    He's been running mainly Arkansas, Texas, Illinois, Oklahoma and a few times to California. His miles have been really crappy and his truck is always having to go into the shop for one thing or another. He only goes home once a month to see his kids
