I assume such a service doesn't exist yet. Should I create it?

    Either way a corporation will create this in the future and make billions of dollars and crying on a message board won't stop it but it will make you feel better temporarily.

    Not a chance. It's a stupid idea and I don't cry about rates. They is what they is. A new load board ain't gonna change that.

    You asked for feedback and framed it as though you would like to protect yourself from making a bad investment of time and money. The members who have responded thus far have given you their feedback, which is their individual opinions and perspectives.. How is calling them a bunch of whiners helpful to your quest? They have given you exactly what you asked for.

    What you described DOES exist. It's called the Schneider Choice board. And while it is fast, there are plenty of downfalls to it. There is a reason it only works within the confines of a lease situation where drivers are forced to use it, and why the call in and haggle model works for everyone else.

    Yes and Schneider Choice rates do not in any way reflect or trend with reality out here on the open market. That's a trucking company with their own freight. Not brokers selling loads. Apples and oranges.

    Every time someone post something on here lately and doesn't get the response or answer he was hoping for, he comes back at all of us like we are the problem. lol

    Yup. Any board with brokers dictating rates is going to be in their favor, just as Schneider does with theirs and their cruddy rates.

    Good idea; bad listed parameters.
    Go to the Indian Philosophy of "Within the realm of all possibilities."
    That is where your success will lie.
