Brokers Not Responding to My Bids – What Could Be the Reason?

Hello everyone,

I’ve been working with a dispatch company for a long time to find loads for my Sprinter box truck. Recently, I decided to try booking loads on my own and got access to the Sylectus load board, which is known for expedited freight.

During the first week, I used their built-in bidding system but didn’t receive any responses. After that, I created a script to send custom emails directly (without the standard Sylectus header), including all the key load and equipment information. Unfortunately, I still haven’t gotten any replies.

I’m wondering — what might I be doing wrong?
I’d really appreciate any advice or feedback. Below is an example of the email I’ve been sending.

Thank you in advance!
