apps or services O/Os use to find work

The only tools anyone really needs.




The services you mentioned are a joke.

Apps and all of that crap have driven the rates down. You need to start with why there are no connections between the load boards and focus on the problems we face as owners when a load is posted 20 times on five different load boards with not one broker actually "owning" the load.

 

THANK YOU!

 

Thats because many of the mega brokers are posting loads from lists,.. thats why you see 3 - 5 different brokers posting the same loads with different rates.

You call and then they call to make sure the load is still available,.. double brokering I suppose. Thats what I get from a lot of that.

I agree,.. does nothing but drive rates down when new rookies try book loads with out any negotiation or knowledge of what the load actually involves. All they see is the gross number. Assume grossing $5k a week running 3000 miles is good money.

With experience you learn who not to call.

We have nothing to do with the money end or the posting of loads. Ridgeline has a good handle on this, he is the guy to explain. I have been out of that end for to long, no clue how bad it is today.

 

Go direct to the shipper. Not as easy as it sounds.
