HOWARD RASMUSSEN RAZZ TRUCKING LLC Wendell, MN 108 Posts, 9 +, 2 -	HOWARD RASMUSSEN RAZZ TRUCKING LLC - Wendell, MN I always start by going direct to the company. If they are brokering their loads through someone they will provide information. If they are not, they most likely will tell you what their insurance requirements and other requirements are for you to haul for them. Worth a phone call of a face-to-face. As I have always told my kids, "there is only two answers to a question - yes or no".

DUSTIN MYERS MYERS TRANSPORT LLC Fredericktown, MO 16 Posts, 20 +, 0 -	DUSTIN MYERS MYERS TRANSPORT LLC - Fredericktown, MO Not to be rude but what do you mean "I guess so"? I know how intimidating it can be to make that call but in business it's the only way to succeed. Do you think that broker (assuming they use one) waited to see if someone put loads in their lap? No way, they made the sales call and said "what can I do for you?". If you have the opportunity to get a regular run out of a nearby shipper and for the full rate, you've got nothing to lose! There are pretty much 4 possible answers...we don't need you at all (you've lost nothing but gained an answer), we'll might need someone (maybe not a solid yes, but potentialially a yes), we use a broker (you now have a contact for loads), or let's get you set up because I really need a consistent truck (YAY!). I say go for it and good luck!

JASON WYNNE J S WYNNE FARMS LLC. Hico, TX 26 Posts, 1 +, 0 -	JASON WYNNE J S WYNNE FARMS LLC. - Hico, TX out of Crawford, loyalist calcium -lime. Double t, cargill, purina, Rfg, reliant, eclipse, Dillion, txi, those are the ones I've heard picking up there before. All broker only, unless your buying direct. You can always go by their plant, turn ur cb to 4 if I recall, they ask every driver what broker they are picking up for. The rate sucks right now, so I haven't picked up there in almost a year. [email protected] Send me your contact info, I will forward some local brokers that have work right now, some rates are ok, some suck, just got to weed through them. Hope this helps......

Keep at it. I remember when I used to haul cottonseed I would acquire new contacts occasionally just from the paper work. The traders buy and sell to each other. The gin may have sold it to someone other than who I was hauling it for and their name would be on the paper work from the gin. If I remember right, I think I got acquainted with one of my best customers this way. You never know who could be paying the freight.

Excellent answers in all forms Or you can't get an answer out of them or they won't answer the phone and you have to call repeatedly until you get a quit bothering me or they get tired of your phone call and set you up as a carrier with them. Lol
