I just ran search of a 50 mile radius and came up with a lot of loads. could some of these listed by brokers be Duplicates or even more?
Is there a way to tell if it's a broker or shipper for a company
I've heard a lot of good things about DATconnect. Better paying freight, more direct shippers, etc.

:lol: @ Steve! I just signed up for ITS and all I can say is WOW. They give you a TON of info right down the to travel centers on the average route! I've looked into DAT and I can't seem to make myself go $130 a month yet. We're small and I figure after a few years maybe we'll make that jump, but so far I'm TOTALLY impressed with ITS, thanks for the input gentlemen, you've been a great help

Good going S.L. I live just down the road from Internet Truckstop and have been to their office and me Scott Moscrip, the owner, and a few of the employees. Very nice and above board people. I use ONLY their load board as my "paid" loadboard, although I do check the different companies' loadboards also ( like Landstar, Mercer, Trinity, etc.)... Internet Truckstop has worked very well for me, overall.

We'd love to find another dedicated lane or solid contract (the ones we had dried up a couple months back) but until we do, we depend on the boards for work. We check specific companies but find that most of the loads on the individual company boards are also listed on the larger load boards. So what do most of you here use? Any preference or opinions on any of the hundreds of boards out there? Appreciate the info in advance
Doh OOIDA has a load board???....hmmm I better call them n ask how to log in...never even logged in there once even though im a member. Just llearned they actually finally won a llegal battle lol...hmmm that makes them 1-100-0 huh?

They sure do. It's small, but there are loads on OOIDA's Members Edge that weren't on other boards. Go to http://ooida.com and look along the left side of the screen in the blue box, 3rd link from the bottom will say "MembersEdge", this is the OOIDA load board. Here is the link direct: http://www.mymembersedge.com/index.cfm?fa=sf it's $17.95 a month, which is cheap, but they give you a 30 free trial to see if you'll use it before you start getting charged monthly. I like it because it helps support OOIDA and it's a lot of small carriers like most of us are.
