    Start knocking on doors or calling brokers. Is there any other way?

    The reason you arent getting replies is why would anyone give up their customers. Think about that one. I would get a good load board and get some loads off of it or just lease on somewhere.

    You'll find people here are very helpful and insighful on every aspect of trucking except where to find loads. That would go against basic common sense to cut your wn throat. Good luck.
