Does a new O/O need to qualify (aside from signing up and paying the fee) to get loads from Internet Truckstop?

IUse get loaded because our office has Internet TS. But they just PIZZED me off. I was going to cancel my subscription yesterday. I paid for a year to get the cheaper rate. They always had the PC miler map out to the right side for quick reference, now that has been removed and an add for their silver package is in its place. ($99) Guess whats included, PC miler with all the stuff that used to be free. You CAN still get that info for free but instead of having it at a quick glance you have to click on it and change screens. A PITA when you have slow connections like we sometimes do. In fact, I am going to call now and drop them. Transcore 360 is the best in my opinion.

I guess what I'm getting at...can a shipper or broker view your qualifications somewhere on the board (authority, insurance, etc) or do you need to qualify with every shipper or broker you contact for a potential load?
I've heard some will not work with a carrier that's had their authority less than 6 months. I fall into that category too. -
Internet truckstop does have a place to upload your documents, but its kind of useless as you will still have to fax them to the brokers. I keep a file with my authority, w-9, proof of insurance, and a summary of my business (phone number, address, etc.). I also scanned the to a PDF documents so I fax (online fax number) or email the documents to them.
I did not have a problem with the 6 month rule. I only had 2 brokers tell me that you had to have 6 months. My 6 months is not up until the end of sept. and I have about 20 brokers that I am signed up with. Its more the exception then the rule. I am signed up with UTI, CH Robinson, Landstar, Total Quality logistics, ICCI and they are some of the larger ones. -
Jason if you don't mind me asking who do you use for a online fax provider?and how much per month. thanks walt
