How to start booking your own loads.

CH Robinson works with new carriers so they can sell cheap. As soon as you got options stay away from them.

 

I can't believe you guys are making this so hard. OP, all you gotta do is call TQL. Once. One call. From then on they will call you every day, if not every hour, and offer you only the best loads in the industry. You're gonna be rich. You're welcome!

 

Subscribe to DAT loadboard and start calling anyone there is. 2 out of 7 will say no but the rest will give you loads.

 

I am like you new to this, I got my own truck and wonder how to get my own loads to start dispatching my own loads. Did you find out anything ? Thanks.

 

OK, now why would a broker have trouble giving this guy a load, if he has had an active authority for two years, Even though he has been pulling for another person, if his authority was active he was insured. The broker can easily see this and will assume he has been pulling loads. I do not recall brokers asking me for references, but maybe that has changed in the last 10 or 12 years too.

 

If its cheap junk you need a truck and pulse. Maybe a tarp.

 

Check this guys channel out on YouTube.

Auto Rebuilds Garage

Scroll down to the older vids, he used to be a dispatcher for a trucking company and he'd live stream him dispatching trucks and dealing with brokers.

He changed the focus of the channel into a auto rebuilds but all his old trucking related vids are still there. He's a younger guy but it gives you a good feel at what to say and how to deal with brokers..

 

Yes, for every single brokerage company you plan to do business with.

You may feel tempted to start adding a lot of brokers, but don’t! Well, not yet at least. When you’re new to negotiating load rates, it’s likely that you won’t be able to get the best rates. So it’s best to have a few brokers at the beginning to avoid being labeled by many brokerage companies as the “cheap” motor carrier. Once they know you are willing to haul cheap, you cannot easily demand a good-paying load even if it’s fair.
