    Because 1 company may book a load for one price and company 2 may book the same load for LESS.

    I know someone that owns their own trailer and is paid 98%. I use a company trailer and an paid 67%. My weekly check is bigger.

    Not all van loads going from Portland, OR to Miami FL. Pay the same. If they did then a higher percentage would make more money

    The rate changes because the guy on the 75% is pulling a direct customer load while they guy at 90% went through a broker and gave up 15% or more before his 90% got cut out.

    It’s not that people don’t want to help. It’s that people aren’t really allowed to help. Pimping out your company is frowned upon here. That’s why only the less then handful of same mega companies all get mentioned over and over and over.

    No. If you do that then the ban hammer comes down.

    I pretty much just see the typical Landstar, Schneider, Mercer, Crete, JB Hunt, etc on here that everyone already knows about.

    You must not be paying attention. There is one that pops up on google searches. It is new, has an all new every thing on an app by phone,way of doing biz. Get rich running loads from load board. Looked at them and did not do the background check. If I feel froggy, I can run spot freight now, get paid next day.I like running the same no tarp freight. From my research, you might as well get your on # s. The 90% charge you for almost as much for insurance. Look at some old threads, some names will pop up
