    Some companies have company load boards for o/o like Landstar and Schneider Select. I am sure there are more.

    If you are going to run under your own authority, I have no idea where to get loads from. That part of the business is probably 2 years down the road for me, if I ever go out under my own authority.

    Load boards. I’ve heard about DAT any other. Like for carhauling there is central dispatch that I am familiar with but that’s only for vehicles. Anything like that for reefers?

    Gotta get a dog...sniff them out. Not unlike foraging for truffles.
