    Please lose the all-capital lettering. It is considered to be the equivalent of shouting, in written form, and is frowned upon as rude, for all the same reasons that shouting questions in person, at people, would be.

    That aside, I don't have any useful answers to your question, other than to suggest that the shouting thing might be alienating those that do.

    No problem. Another piece of advice; a single post of a specific request, is plenty. It gets seen as a 'recent' post, and if anyone has something to say, they are as likely to respond to the first one, as any of the others. By starting several threads of the same discussion, however, you appear to be trying to dominate all conversation in the forum, with your question, by pushing all other topics out of the 'recent' post list. That can be off-putting, in the same manner as walking into a crowded room, and demanding that all other conversation stop, so that everyone can listen to you.

    It is possible that you are simply right, and good car loads are hard to find, so no one has anything helpful to suggest.

    Have you thought about picking up a flatbed trailer, and hauling that way, for a while, until car loads pick back up, again?

    I think most of us use Internet Truck Stop or DAT load boards.
