    BPF was an old school seniority based company. A lot of people went there and then left because the old guys got first choice on the work. That being said they were honest and had good rates on a lot of things. They were bought out by a bigger company a few years ago. I think the son is running it more now. Usually when small players get bought up the rates go down. They can probably offer you more perks like national account pricing and fuel cards etc now. A guy i know just bought a b/n step to go back to them. Btw they do quite a bit oversize loads. Good luck on your choice

    Thanks for reply. Talked with bpf last week. Looks like you can choice where you like to run and they charge 16% for the load. I will keep searching.

    Its not easy booking freight, loading freight,running freight, looking for freight when your running freight. Then invoicing and everything else that's involved in running under your own authority.
