Load Board Truths and Myths

Fair idea. For anyo E but me, I would agree. I recently bought an international farm tractor, with no
need, other than to drive it down the street.like Avery loud golf cart!

 

That is a good point. I did not know that.
Thank you

 

So, you're saying that the load boards are for the benefit of the broker, not the drivers? Interesting.

 

O notice that sometimes they try to get Smart and change the weight by a couple pounds. Good point.

 

Amen. Sharks in the rank!

 

I like raccoons. My neighbor feeds them by hand... very fool hardy, indeed! What do I know... just what I read, hear and view. I have truckers edge pro, so I am following it. It's my first investment in trucking, education, a subscription to the dAT.

Actually, I have watched one guy, Makecents on youtube, which is why I got DAT truckers edge pro. He does a weekly rundown of the board for Flat beds, Vans and reefers, showing how to place your truck. Pretty informative for me, actually. Now I got the idea, but wonder if it plays out how it appears, negotiating as I will and parking the truck when loads are seasonally crappy. It looks like a lot of money to be made, but one has to pick up some crummy ones to get to the lanes with lots of outgoing, compared to incoming.

I think I'll put a few hundred a month into google adwords pointed toward my new, yet to built, Freight carrying website. I'd like to pick up a few light 20k loads paying as much as the heavy ones, right out of my business park. Good idea! You helped me think of that.
