    Looking for a self dispatch company where I can run LOADBOARD off my phone for flatbed. Preferably one that takes no more than about 10% and close to Alabama if they require orientation and such to lease on. Any ideas?

    This is no help, but if running off a phone, can you send and recieve load confirmations and such from just your phone.
    I kept a laptop in the truck, but I also had my wife and another lady in the office to take care of verything that had to have signed and printed paperwork faxed?
    Just wandering if a guy can do all of this with a phone?

    10% off a bad rate is a terrible rate. Just look for a good company to lease on too. Their cut is of no consequence to you as long as you are being paid what you feel is fair. Makes job searching easier.

    Mag carriers is a lease on company.. One with one of the smallest fees in the entire industry.

    I have been booking out on the road with only a phone. They email the company for carrier packets which i cant fill out anyway.. Id imagine a phone could do that. I get a pic or email of the ratecon. And take pics of PODs.

    I know they are. They offer 90% of what. Not saying they are aren't a good company. 90% of a bad rate is a bad rate is my point.
    If you're going to lease, 50% of a great rate might be better than 90% of a bad rate. I don't know why so many people box themselves in.
    I don't even know where this came from? MAG is a flatbed carrier?

    Yes but they don’t have their own freight. You run load board apps on your phone and find your own loads
