    I've used ITS before. It's a good board, but after we got a couple of direct accounts, it's not often that we need the loadboards. So I quit ITS and went with the OOIDA one due to the discounted cost.

    Oh ITS...I used to use them but dropped it for Truckersedge. I thought Truckersedge was way better but I haven't used it in several years. Hmm maybe I need to take another look?

    Truckers Edge is a better deal for the options it offers, and most of the same loads are posted in both places, but if you don't mind paying $100+ a month for the upgraded ITS carrier loadboard, you get a few extras not offered by Truckers Edge.

    We use TE for backhauls mostly, or when our direct accounts are down for inventory, or seasonal restock (produce).

    I'm going to jump off. Listen drivers, Brokers make there % by keeping US moving. Not my first choice, but
    My main choice. Dead Head or a load. LTL is better than nothing. Load boards are important to O/O's. Company drivers are told where to go, We are asked if we want the load. Big Difference. :biggrin_25523:
     
    5150 jack Thanks this.
