Load boards

Pretty cheap rates from the first two. Once in a while you will find a decent broker who doesn't low ball you.

 

What are you hauling

 

I'm assuming you have your own authority? Check Internet truck stop, one of the better ones. There's also the better option of cold calling shippers directly and asking if they have any freight to move you can help with.

 

I hear UTI first quarter DECLINE of 30%.............

See what happens when you fool around with the rates like they do.......We carriers can drink from the same fountain too


This should be a GREAT year for carriers...........The brokers are having a real tough time booking trucks

 

I don't think I've ever called on a UTI load that they didn't offer around $1/mi. Absurdly cheap, and every load was always 45k or more.

No thanks. They can go under for all I care.

 

The only way to know what the broker is actually grossing on the load is to ask to see the paperwork. There's a part on the fmcsa rules and regs that states this, forget it off the top of my head. When you call a shipper they will never tell you what it is being hauled for now. You have to tell them what you will haul it for, if they say no move on or see where you can save $ for your company ie, driving slower, not idling.
