You mean lease on to a trucking company or pull loads from a trucking company? I wish i could answer your question but its not that easy. It all depends, sometimes you can find a decent broker to work for that will pay you good money on a load board and the stick with him. I would look for people local to you who you can start a relationship with though. I tried the direct freight board, even though it "cuts out the broker" it was still mostly cheap crap like on all the other boards.... Its basically shippers posting it direct who will not give you and advance and will pay you after 30 days, 95% of them on there anyway.

Torqued-Up Thanks this.

oh thats interestin, so your sayin not to let them pay for anythin for you..... a lot say they will pay a lot of that.
anyone else feel the same way? -
i have found they do tend to overcharge,but hey,time is money
i dont have the time to do most of the leg work,i will pay someone else to do it for me
i have found the overpayment to be acceptable in most cases...
by the time i do the research, get frustrated, get the runaround, fax and refax, sometimes its best to let the pros do it... -
