Hello, does anyone recommend a place .. Website, forum, etc ... where a carrier can connect with brokers servicing specific Lanes or customers? ... Other than load boards... Thanks ! .
Short of calling shippers within the lanes you want and asking them which brokers they use, no can't think of anyplace. But I'm sure somebody here will have a better idea than mine.
Yeah i haven't found any forums that will connect truckers with customers or brokers. The cold calls are such an outdated method. Surprisingly, it's not allowed here either. .
Nature of it. They're looking to keep this from turning into a loadboard, and keep brokers and recruiters from harassing other members. I don't necessarily like that I can't PM you guys direct, but I can respect it.
Cold calling isn't outdated at all. Call customers direct in routes you're interested in. Takes time and perseverance but that's pretty much what a broker does to drum up a customer list too. Here's a good place to start: The Blue Book Building & Construction Network - Home
