This is not a "click on a load, get a load" kind of place. Not sure the number, but heard something like 30% of new bco's wash out in the first 6 months. I don't have super secret agents that call me at home, not in with the in crowd. Work exclusively from the board. I talk to 210 619 and 531 agents every day. I don't take much that's offered but some times they have load offers well above average. They call because I pick up, don't treat them poorly and keep the door open.
