    One thing I don't like about the malone load board, I can't put in a destination and see what loads are going there unless I put in an origin. I'd love to know what loads go to central PA so I have an idea where I should head. It took me a month and a half to find regular loads that go near my home coming out of NC.

    Yeah, me neither. But living in a low freight area like I do it would be nice to search for loads going to my area from anywhere then contact those agents to see if it's regular freight then I can plan my trips better to get me home.

    Hey gravdigr, what are the loads off the crst board paying you. I am thinking of putting my truck on there Monday. I know what other boards pay. I have ran my own authority for two years but last month I had a driver not tarp a keep dry load and it got rained on then an other had an accident so I lost my insurance.

    You are mostly right. But nI have ran my own authority for two years now and have never waited more than 30 days for my money and that is only from some brokers. The longest I have wqaited from direct shippers is two weeks,

    Home? Already? LOL, J/J....... Let me know how things go. I'm really considering going over there.

    I'd also like to know how much are CRST drivers are averaging (NET) per mile.
