    Hi, everyone. I'm just getting started in the trucking industry and I'm wondering where independent drivers source most of their loads from. Are folks mostly living from load to load via load boards? Are you able to get steady gigs running routes back and forth maybe for a particular shipper or broker?

    I'm looking forward to learning.
