    I don't seem to understand why it is so hard to find a broker. I figured you'd want to be accessible to the public but I guess thats not the case. How do you go about finding good brokers or any brokers for that matter? I'm interested in flatbed work specifically, but I'm fine with getting any other contacts.

    Hopefully someone can help me out! Thanks.

    But to find a "good" broker takes a while. They are not all over the internet.

    Brokers are stupid. I haven't found a "good" one in 5 years.

    I found a good broker: he said while I'm young take more high risk investments, then every year past 30 move some and invest new $ into more secure futures and bonds...only good broker I ever dealt with.

    The problem is that if anyone does know a good broker they usually keep it under their hat.

    Same for the guys who come on here asking where they can find decent flatbed freight. Does anyone honestly think that guys are going to name their direct customers that they have spent months if not years building relationships and trust with so some knob who just bought a truck and now has to pay for it can come in and cut the rates?
