    what are the best brokers to use? I currently use CHRobinson and signed up for TQL.
    After reading TQL related posts here, I'm pretty convinced to cancel TQL Account and stick to CHRobinson for now.

    Any new broker suggestions?
    Pretty new to the industry helping out family business.

    Thank you
     
    Chbroker Thanks this.

    CH Robinson is crap too.

    I like Mercer, Landstar, Anchor Transportation, Hybrid Logistics, Expedited Transport, Karper, Trinity Logistics, Jones.
    Just a few in my favorite bookmarks.

    Id love to say one broker has all high paying , easy freight . I doubt thats the case , I think all brokers have good and bad freight, its our job to find it.

    I have a question, my friend suggested InternetTruckStop.com and I signed up for it to see how it is.
    And I see its just loadboard where companies just post loads there and it gives me their phone number to call to book a load?
    If its from Landstar as an example, do I need to have an account with Landstar too?

    or can i use internettruckstop like chrobinson where I can just give them my T# and book loads?

    I know this doesn't answer you question, but truth is, the best brokers are the one you have a relationship with. If someone has a great broker they arn't gonna tell you because why would they want to share. No offence to you, but most of us would rather keep the good freght for ourselves. Who ever you use, try to build a personal conection. Work hard and hopefully you'll find one that returns the favor.

    you have to have an agreement , contract or carrier packet filled out for each broker you use.
    heres a tip, check their credit before you pick up the load
