Advice for Beginner

Hello, I am looking for some advice from those who have been in this business and have experience. I have had 2 trucks pulling dry vans for the last year for a carrier. I have my own authority and am looking to start finding my own loads. The carrier I work with is relatively small with around 12 trucks and they primarily find 80% of their loads on the load boards.
I am looking for opinions on which load boards are the best?
What should I be averaging per mile(all miles not just loaded)?
How much time should I expect to spend on dispatching two trucks(remember I am new at this)?

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I do understand how much capital it takes to do this as I know how long it takes for brokers to pay.

Thanks
