    Top 5 Brokers??
    Since I really don't "care" anymore about competition,As many of you that know me and my posts here..I tell it like it is and hide NOTHING!! (No secrets)

    The only Broker I find halfway decent was/is Federal Transportation-
    I worked with some ocean forwarders whom were plausible over time corresponding me to customers.

    Other than that...The Brokers you find mocking up Loadboards are Laughable..... at Best.

    This is just my opinion,.. no factual or intelligent insight. Just a hunch,.. but I'm guessing despite the OP's nick name,.. the possible 1 broker that he was/is using,.. is suffering the same fate as the rest of us and that the lack of available and paying freight, just isnt there. So he was hoping we would share some secrets with him.

    Truth is,.. were are all in the same boat. We are all doing what we can to survive. Some of use are doing it better than others.

    CH Robinson offered me a 2 drop paper roll load from Portland to L.A. on Friday for $650!

    That's right, 65 cents per mile...

    I love how their brokers call it a "max buy".

    What a joke.

    The shippers and buyers of products are demanding lower prices. I have only been going after my own freight since March, however, have started to work my way into a niche that will allow me to bypass these mega-brokers all together.

    I don't know how these guys can offer rates like that?

    I would be so embarrassed, I couldn't do it.
