    We are interested in connecting with a company who probably takes coils from Pittsburgh to Columbus area to back haul from Columbus to Pittsburgh 48k flatbed loads. How do we connect with those truckers?

    Well, back hauls don't exist, there is nothing more than freight that needs to be moved.

    One way might be to find loads on a spot market load board, then make inquiries with those shippers about whether they are regular shipments.

    I run that area, and may be interested in taking a look at what you have going. But, like others have said, no such thing as a back haul.

    So, you have freight moving one way from Columbus to Pittsburg and want to find another company moving product one way from Pittsburg to Columbus, so you can possibly arrange loop service?

    I'd suggest poking at some load boards for loads moving from Pittsburg to Columbus and talk to those brokers.

    Loadboard. Easy as pie

    I hate the word back haul too.

    Back haul is just another word for a load headed towards home. Not a cheap load.
