    What percentage of loads to you run that are booked from them versus secondary load boards like DAT etc etc?

    Do you call and negotiate a lot of loads on your own or just go with what's offered to you?

    Do you run van or open deck? Do you use their agents (AM load board) or a public load board? Thanks.

    Ace Doran has been great!!!....you can pick loads off the load board or call the agents.....I work mostly with two agents who keep me quite busy....no issues so far.

    The load board you speak of is inhouse correct? Are you able to go on outside load boards like DAT etc etc and book freight?

    Yes, in house, you can access outside freight through the agents, but, honestly, at least in the Midwest they have more than enough freight.....

    And if your willing to haul steel or aluminum, they pull out of every mill you care to think off.....

    I’ve been lurking in that thread for over 5 years, I thought I’d end up there. But in the last 2 years or so, I’ve noticed a marked change. My best friend leased on there about 18 months ago....now he’s at Ace......there’s something going on there, not good apparently......
