    They suck. In the 8 years as an o/o they have cancelled more loads on me after being dispatched than I have taken, they will curse you out and get ignorant. I finally stopped calling and refusing their loads. Stay away from them!

    Not sure there is such a thing. How about several reefer loads? I am shipping reefer loads out of Cleveland, OH and going all across the country. Where do you want to go?

    There's plenty of them out there I'm sure of it. You'll never see them trolling trucking forums looking to cover their freight. A good broker is something you run across by happenstance. Or possibly a friend connects you with one. Drivers here on a forum are not going to give out their good contacts for the whole world to cut their throat.

    Wow cut there throats, sharing a good brokers info will cut your throat, you can only drive one truck at a time, so if he got 5 loads and you take 1 , wow 4 left just saying

    So me and my 4 other friends each have 1 truck and usually cover the broker's 5 loads, he rarely needs an outside carrier ... It is up to the broker to cover his load, not the carrier ...

    You need to find the areas where brokers are hungry for trucks, start anywhere that the produce is seasonally hot and loads are plentiful ... plenty of brokers have freight both ways ...

    If you shell out the money for a load board (like the rest of us have) that is a start to connect yourself with some brokers ...

    No, how it goes is you or others decide you can make money hauling it for less, usually hundreds less, and then I have to find something else my on my own, the hard way, like I do on 95% of my loads anyways. On the 5% where my friends turn me onto a particular run with a broker or possible runs I take care to find out what they charged or their average rates and not step on something that's been good to them. I've lost a lot of good stuff already without posting up my hard earned info for thousands or tens of thousands of my competitors to see on the internet. But hey that's biznezz and I always find my way. Really it just takes time and effort why do you expect total strangers to give away their hard work/efforts away for nothing?

    Now you know why every time you've asked it over the past few days no one ever answers.
