    Now o can tell you that interstate load board is not what you think. They do not have alot of loads. The only area where there is alot of loads on the board is the west coast and they are heavy as hell my friend

    But I've heard the total opposite, o/os I know love Interstate and their freedom board, they say Roadrunner used to be ok, but they made some changes, that made quite a few guys leave. Now I'm on the West and looking for a company where I can lease my truck onto and hire a driver, I spoke with a recruiter at Road runner and their ltl program sounds good for what I plan on doing, however I also spoke with a recruiter at Interstate and the numbers he gave me looked ok as well., then I get guys like you, who give their opinion, that metes me think, the same way you get other people that may not like the other companies

    And the container division he was in did not get sold to heartless it got spun off before the sale ....as far as enough money to pay a driver on the free board you are better off just selling your truck

    Well a friend of mine did $200,000 gross, net was $115,000 real numbers off freedom board. I can't speak for everyone else, but if you know how to work the board, it can be good, but you must know the lanes and freight , know how to calculate.
