It's all these dispatchers that sit around and make cold calls and get cheap hauls to put it out for the next idiot to bite the hook. Everything is so cheap you can't barely run for fuel money! I'm done with this place and the cheap rates. They should make it mandatory to put price and commodity. Nothing is close to $.19 a ton mile and you can't make money lower than that period.

For some strange reason it doesn’t work very well when there are more people hauling freight that producing it, meanwhile those social media influencers keep on peddling the promise of easy riches in trucking, and people keep wanting to believe they will have the same success as previous generations, even though nothing is made here anymore.

I feel like bulkloads has made a honest effort to improve stuff for the carriers, they have had that rating system for some time now, but truthfully by the time you get authority you shouldn’t even need a load board, you should already know who to call from the years of experience you have working inside the industry, load boards are just another tool to add to your tool box, if something is on a load board it’s usually because nobody wanted it, load boards are sort of like a barometer for the economy, a good share of people out there are in trouble because they took ban advice about trucking off social media, the fact is the market was flooded prior to COVID, and all the government money tossed at truckers made it worse, it will take awhile for that to shake itself out, but the fact is none of us will ever have it as good as previous generations, everything is severely overvalued on paper right now, most people aren’t worth as much as they think they are.

You could start it as a Facebook group, make it private where you have to answer a question like what is your MC or DOT number to join. The administrators could check the numbers on safer before allowing access. You could call it Broker 411.

Quote: "And bulk loads will ot let u post negative remarks about brokers..they are protected" I've rated nearly every broker/shipper I've hauled for. If they are good, they will get a good rating, if they screw up the load or take forever to pay their bill I will rate them poorly. I've given poor scores to a couple of the largest broker/shippers on the board. Generally, this load board is a way to make connections. Brokers often times won't post their best work because somebody will try poaching it. A lot (not all) of the loads posted here are either cheap, or going to dead zones with little or no chance for reloads.... That's why they are here. For those thinking they were going to make a killing in trucking commodities of all things... sorry it ain't happening.

Also, if anybody in Bulkloads admin is reading this, I've been unable to find brokers/shippers to rate or contact unless they have loads posted. Any way that could be changed? Thanks
