    I'm Looking to be able to find back hauls from various locations that will end up in Elizabethtown, KY...Any brokers better than another for getting back to this area?...Boss says if I find the load, he'll take care of paperwork and such...

    And what broker would you recommend?...

    Some brokers do seem to do a better job on some areas than others. It also depends on the type of freight you are hauling.

    Brokers can be regional, much like carriers. They will have more of an idea of current rates, capacity, etc.

    You might look at RWI if you have a van or reefer. Seems like they have a fair amount of loads to KY. Decent people to deal with but they are a little slow pay (33-38 days).
