    Is there something similar to flatloads.com or ITS/DAT that OD carriers look at for OD loads? Just trying to expand into OD a little more, I can cover most easy OD loads but when we start talking 14ft wide, ect I have to reject them as I don't usually get any interest, its probably because I am looking in the wrong place, I am not new to trucking but newish to OD.

    I am a broker, so try not to hate. I would say I am one of the fair ones, just looking for a little direction to be able to take over some freight that I am rejecting now. Also sorry if this is not the right spot for this.

    I just signed up. There’s a $30/mo option. I’ll update if it’s worth it.

    I see some $3 a mile loads like Laredo to Idaho. I see a few $2 also. Almost all posts don’t show a rate. There’s 300+ listings out of Texas. There’s no app I see and the website is a pain to use.

    I wish the 10s of thousands of people that moved here from California in the last few years felt that way. The less people the better!

    And we thank you! Although if it weren't for your dislike of the northwest's attitude toward wind farming, it is pretty nice in the summer, right?

    it is beautiful in the summer up there, and I love to take my shot with you and your cohort the golf course. And, since nice, I am currently not working in wind, I am ambivalent to their crappy attitude.

    the winter, however…….
