DO NOT USE CONVOY!!
They will not pay for detention time unless driver downloads their app on the phone. Even if you have IN/OUT times listed on the BOL and Convoy ops team send you e-mails confirming these IN/OUT times.
I have been a carrier sales team manager for seven years and now i own my own trucking and freight brokerage company. Taking care of your driver and carrier for their time is crucial for building relationships and growing a book of business. I guess Convoy is thinking only short term.KB3MMX Thanks this. -

CH Robinson has lots of long haul freight, but they lack reefer loads. If you haul dry freight, it’s a good place to start. I am still new as a motor carrier, but it seems likely that CH Robinson and Uber Freight is mostly used by new motor carriers as their requirements to sign up are low. Other brokers have higher requirements. For example, 6 months with MC#. New motor carriers are likely bringing down the rates in Uber Freight, CH Robinson, and the like. -
I'd like to hear more about Convoy. Is that your only problem with them?

I see that you are also a new brokerage that was recently looking to buy a well used MC number to make your business appear older than it actually is. Nice way to start a business, by decieving your clients.ncmickey, Dino soar, KB3MMX and 1 other person Thank this. -
SteveScott Thanks this.

My guys use load boards a lot as well uber and convoy. They are happy with the options they have available to them. -
Convoy and Uber are a total joke... Although i have both signed up... I've never wanted to use either of them to haul their cheap cheap loads...blah !!
PE_T Thanks this.
