    Bulkloads and Hoploads are only 2 I know of. You’re better off to get in with one of the handful of commodity brokers and pull direct. I am not talking about a dispatcher, loader guy or freight broker. Just to be clear
     
    SlimGoodyNC Thanks this.

    Hi there, I just signed up for BulkLoads today. I’ll definitely check out the other website. However, I’m not sure how I would go about getting in touch with some commodity brokers. I’m new to trucking and searching for loads. I have a contract but work is slow.

    Trade show, farm expo, or food industry conventions. I’m currently working on a potential new customer, got a meeting next Friday. He’ll be at a food convention during the week. You have to hit the pavement, phone, or emails. Gotta be creative.
     
    SlimGoodyNC Thanks this.

    Tri-state commodities, Greeley Colorado D&Dcommodities Greeley, Colorado all you gotta do is Google commodities in different states and you'll come up with names. These are two I've used many years ago.
