Register with a load board online<\/a> that matches drivers <\/a>with loads. Many sites keep updated information on their sites daily and allow the drivers to contact the company directly to arrange the job. By paying a monthly fee that averages about $29.95, you can access the members-only site day and night for available loads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look for load boards that have a quick turnover in the job postings. A good load board shouldn’t carry load requests for more than 24 hours<\/a> if it has an active membership. Companies in need of trucking services tend to use the boards that provide quick turn-around as well.<\/p>\n


\nUtilize the services of a freight broker who acts as a third party negotiator and acquires jobs for you. Freight brokers <\/a>operate on retainer fees or earn a commission on each match they provide. A freight broker has many industry contacts; some businesses prefer to deal with a broker rather than directly with truckers, so they will have access to jobs that aren’t listed on open load boards.<\/p>\n

Bid on jobs through websites that list loads in need of moving. This is a much slower process and may take awhile to build repeat business. However, there are no upfront costs associated with bidding sites. Instead, you pay a fee to the organization hosting the bidding once you’ve signed a contract with a company to move their load.<\/p>\n

Post your availability <\/a>and the parameters of your trucking capabilities on a reverse load board. Brokers and businesses search these sites for drivers who match their needs. Post standing vacancies or put up a notice when you find yourself with a one-way load.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
