Finding loads

Load link is the most popular load board in canada. You wont find a sustainable volume of work on there, though. Put together a carrier pack and send it out to a bunch of brokers. Do a good job and they'll just call you before posting stuff

What you really need to make a go of it is direct business. Get knockin' on doors and remember stuff about the people you meet, and follow up. Its a slow burn and it can take years.

Honestly, I'd lease to a small carrier who pays % of gross and will let you bring your own customers as you gain them (and pay you a premium commission for your work that you run through the carriers office)
