    Do you use load boards created by brokers? Such as CH Robinson, Landstar, Coyote etc.

    I use Truckstop.com. Have for years. $35 per month unlimited access, unlimited users. I occasionally look at the other Corporate load boards. Really it seems I spend to much time as it is looking at just this one, plus the email requests everyday.

    Welcome to the forum! I'm leased to LS, so unfortunately it's all I know. I've looked at my buddies subscription but can't remember which one he uses.

    I hope to pull my own numbers one day, so I'm interested to see what others say.

    It's been talked about before. The forum has a great search feature.

    I both get why there are a few different load boards but I also don't get why there are so many.. Do certain companies only post loads on specific boards? I figured all the companies posted to the main big ones..

    I hope I don't throw this thread in the wrong direction but I have been curious is CH robinson the Swift of the brokers?

    FYI... What I mean is bottle of barrel, worthless?

    I use CHR but I have found recently that sometimes they will post a load on DAT before it is on their own website.

    If you put quantity and quality on a scale you get what you get in a sense. CH has quantity for sure. With so much going on you lose quality.

    Not bottom of the barrel. I prefer them over the other brokers but they are still a broker. I do direct with shippers and receivers when possible.

    How it is possible for us, carriers, to do direct with shippers/receivers? I thought they never work directly
