    Try Landstar, BNSF, CH Robinson, Allen Lund Company, Coyote Logistics, Spot Freight, Bat Logistics. Try those and they are located on the DAT board

    With a telephone and a loadboard is where you start, unless you know people who can get you loads direct.

    I'm just wrapping up my first 90 days. The ones I've found who will work with me so far are TQL, Coyote, and England. Found them all on the DAT load boards. The most loads I've booked were through the Convoy app, and I have to admit I like using them a lot. Especially the part about getting paid in 2 days after delivery which is a big deal when first starting out. Brokers who will accept you will also take advantage and lowball you on loads, so be aware that this will happen. The Convoy app has spot market rates in my area and a lot of freight moving in all directions.

    Some that I've found won't work with new authority are JB Hunt, Landstar, XPO, Nolan Transportation and Global Tranz.
