    You contradict yourself with every post. Sometimes in the same post. Must be some good high speed chicken feed you’re on.

    Are you guys still consuming all this #### - too many trucks, fuel price, less loads? Go to google and type "I need to ship truckload freight"
    Google will flood you with 100's brokerage companies links.
    Click any company link you are in love and fill shipping quota form.
    They will respond you soon.
    Compare with loadboard rates.

    As long as there are fools who are willing to carry cargo for food, shipping prices will go down (for carriers, of course). This situation in the market is not due to the fact that brokers are bad. And because they can find a fool who will carry it for free.

    If brokers are posting loads to the boards at a rate considerably lower than what they quote someone who wants to ship a load then that pretty much sums up how saturated the spot market has become.
