Is this site in any way shape or form a way of getting new business specifically for a flatbed and over-demensional freight. All I see posted are brokers. I am a broker. Just trying to get more opportunites.......

Probably not Tim. First this is a bulk freight load board. Not many flat/overdimensional loads listed here. There is a sister site to this for that. Second YOU are the one that should be bringing the freight to a site like this to post it so WE the truckers could see it contact YOU and get it moved. Your the one that will have to make a thousand cold calls to your area businesses to find the freight to post here.

They can't find trucks anywhere else, so they come over here and try to steel us away from you. When dry bulk slowed down for a while, other markets noticed a supply of trucks on this side of the isle, so this became a place to come and recruit them. There is a flatbed company in albertville mn, next to I 94, and for most of the summer they had a great big banner next to the interstate, claiming to pay owner operators $350,000.00 per year. Weather or not they can back it up, who knows. But one thing is for sure, you don't start doing stuff like that unless your desperate for trucks.
