<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Buckeye 60, post: 9569746, member: 215396&quot;]I just had my return load cancel&nbsp; for friday morning&nbsp; and it was a landstar load ... stuff happens&nbsp; they were short on product and shipping it Monday&nbsp; oh well i will scramble and find something tomorrow&nbsp; .&nbsp; I&nbsp; do know what noodler is talking about , sometimes a load is listed by several different agents at different prices and of course you call the highest priced one to book it ... well the shipper doesn&#039;t cancel the other agents and if someone else takes the load at a lower price then your load gets cancelled. ....so I stay away from those . there are a lot of good agents and agency&#039;s and they are actively seeking direct shippers and you can trust them . and all are Americans&nbsp; . some foreign Brookers are good and usually work with the same customers and there loads are ok ....... now there are many Brookersthat are working off other boards and dont know anything about the load&nbsp; in emergency but its buyer beware. .. I&nbsp; have 2 shippers that I do a lot of stuff for and they call me directly when they have something and set up the best days then I call the agent and he does the paperwork through landstar . sometimes I will be booked up for a couple of weeks with these and other loads that agents call me with before they list them on the board . I do take a couple of what I call desperation loads when an agent calls trying to cover a load on the board. ..... i still use the load board but probably only about half of my loads,&nbsp; there are several regular shippers around the country and when I am headed into the area i&nbsp; call the agent and see if he can save me something&nbsp; even if he doesn&#039;t have one sceduled at the moment he knows that he will have one and maybe not the destination yet but will call me in a day or two . sometimes I will have 2 weeks booked in advance sometimes work a day or 2 . sometimes I will book a load&nbsp; a week out and work to it , takes a little bit of practice but worth learning how to do it.&nbsp; and just staying on top of rates . sometimes I will do a backwards search coming to the house and book my return load before the load going out but I work out of ohio and it pays decent which ever way you go for the most part. ..... theres plenty of niches at landstar but its up to you to find yours and if you cant no worries about everybody is hiring[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
