    What are some of the best load boards to pull loads off of? Looking for the ones that won't put up unreasonable rates for loads. Tried Direct Freight and Real Time Freight so far

    As far as value is concerned I would go with Internet Truck Stop ( ITS )....Get Loaded has the about 1/2 as many loads and the 1/2 they do have are already on ITS. With the rates, those are up to the individual brokers and not the boards themselves. Keep in mind the 4 or 5 + free pr broker boards ( Landstar, CHR, TQL, BNSF, etc... ) If you are looking for higher rates then create a plan to develop a few direct shippers as customers.

    Thanks for the reply Marlin. I am looking into buying a trailer and currently have a power agreement with a company. I was planning on renting a trailer from ryder and running some loads to see the pay and how many loads are out there. I am hearing that you can average close to over 2.00 a mile. I know about the maintenance issues and care but the immediate increase in cash flow is undeniable.
