    I was hoping I could offer suggestions on customers you could contract direct. I don't know much about the Western Region.

    LS board is good plus it gives you an idea about the different agents and how they work on rates. You will often see the same load by different agents with big spread on offering rates. I tend to work with just a few LS agents now and they were the ones offering the better rates.

    I also like ITS for flatbed. A large percent post rates. Saves a lot of time.
     
    ADAExpress Thanks this.
