[QUOTE="king Q, post: 3097099, member: 46534"]I used to haul for brokers most of the time many years ago. Battled to get direct freight from customers. Even if you can get to see someone they just brush you off most of the time. Started hanging out at auctions. There you meet decision makers who you would never get to via the front door. You meet them when they have an immediate need for trucking services. If you can help immediately then they often give you a chance. They generally are cash flush or they would not be buying at an auction. Worked for me as I have many long standing repeat customers I met that way. Just be ultra helpful and take care of them and slowly you will build a customer base.[/QUOTE]
