    Bro you get better odds to find stuff if you sign up for both and use more than one or two. From what lil bit has told me and I have heard from others both of those sites are very good!!! Good luck my friend! Let us know if we can help!!!

    No problemo big guy. I think it's awesome the way you have gotten into this to help your dad out!!!!! Good for you and good for him that he wants to do things the right way!!!! You guys are gonna be fine. Yes you will make mistakes, but that's all a part of it learn from them and try not to make them again it's all anyone can do.

    If you are going to be brokering for your dad I would do some home schooling for yourself. You have to be careful when dealing with brokers. Make sure you read the fine print. Check out the OOIDA website, they have some really good pointers on how to deal with brokers. Also, Landstar has a good load board. Some of these load boards post loads that aren't there too. So don't plan your runs until the load is verified yours. It is going to take some time but learning how to set yourself up for future good runs is very important. You do not wan to end up where everyone else is all grabbing for the same loads. Good luck.
