Load-to-Truck Ratio

That #### annoys the crap outta me. Brokers post the same load 10+ times and just change the town to the next town over or whatever.

 

All day every day. Honestly it's the single worst thing about running load board freight. All that BS gets in the way when you are in a hurry. If DAT ever gives me the option to ignore TQL loads on the phone app I'll pay them a lot more a month happily.

 

I can only see 500 at a time on our board, but there's 500 that are $2.50 or better.

 

17 trucks for 18000 loads ? Lol call em and tell em 100 dollar a mile, nothing less

 

Yeah, it is. Most posted trucks right now are people trying to get to one specific hole in the wall area, local carriers doing local stuff, or new entrants.

 

My lumberyard is out of garage doors , blamed it on no trucks , told the manager get used to it.

 

Most brokers duplicate their loads on the loadboard to make them look new, they also post them for today, tomorrow, the day after and sometimes a full week. Is hard for brokers to get a truck for the specific day and time so they have to be flexible. Most flatbed places are open only during regular business hours. Oh btw, Birmingham is a hot zone for flatbed, try any west coast state and you'll see the difference.
