OK help a fella out here guys. I was at Interstate doing the load board, getting my feet wet with the owner op scene, got a truck and stacked some cash but my stay here got cut short unexpectedly when the new owners shut down the load board. I wanted to get a year in before moving up to a more advanced system with brokers and such, but I think the 6 months I got in could be good enough. So there's 4 top contenders right now: Schneider, USA Truck, Landstar and Mercer. Plus maybe some smaller companies that work off public load boards. I'm familiar with the main strengths and weaknesses of of how each of these companies operates but still having a tough time making the final cut. Yeah I know Schneider and USA don't have drivers dealing with agents but one possibility is hold off on the agent aspect for 6-12 months and stack some more quick cash first instead. So go ahead and drop some knowledge on a fledgling o/o here.
Choosing next load board: Landstar/Mercer/Schneider/USA Truck
