Does JB Hunt or other trucking carriers use load boards to find freight?

There’s a reason that J.B Hunt got rid of their OTR Division years ago and now only use independent Owner Operators. They figured it out years ago. Some Independent O/O will work very cheap because they don’t have a clue of what it really cost out here. I see trains rolling through my town with nothing but JB trailers on them. If you think that’s cheap freight you are ignorant.

 

Wouldn't that be double brokering?

 

Actually it's pretty simple, JBH and many others contract much more freight than they can cover, then they find losers to haul it for pennies.
