    Default Operating Cost Forms.

    Is there an online site that I can go to and type in my numbers and get my operating costs?

    Can't help ya there, I'm not up and running quite yet and won't be using load boards when I do. I have other things lined up. Someone will be along to help you out I'm sure.

    I have used that spreadsheet a lot and I like it.

    There are a number of loadboards around. We seem to have had better success with www.getloaded.com and www.internettruckstop.com. As far as which one is better, it varies. I am not sure one is better than the other.

    Thanks GMAN. It seems to me that ITS has more flat loads than get loaded. But Getloaded seems to have more fetures on their site. I have been seeing that some of the same loads are on both boards. Well that is what it looks like to me. Is that common? Thanks for you help on this matter. Be SAFE.

    rgarthman, you will find some of the same loads on both load boards. One thing that I have found is that the number of loads can vary by load board and region of the country. For instance, you may find more flat bed loads on ITS in the Northwest, but more on getloaded in the Mid Atlantic states. I am only using these as an example. There are some brokers, so I understand, who can post on a number of load boards at the same time.

    Thanks GMAN. I didnt know if that was a normal practice of posting the same load on two or three load boards. I guess he really wants it to get moved. LOL

    GetLoaded always seems good, like the way they show the credit rating of the agent/shipper. Have never looked at ITS but they may be the same. I lease to LS but have been known to "go around the system" as a lot of the LS brokers list (double broker) things they find on GetLoaded and I can use that 23% better that a LS broker

    I seem to remember a conversation I had some time ago with a Landstar agent. He told me that he could post a load and it would go out to something like 37 (I don't recall the exact number) load boards at the same time. I didn't know there were so many load boards, whatever the figure he gave me.

    No GMAN they find a load on XYZ board then re post it then take their %% I very rarely take a load off the board but it p'sses me off that they (agents) are scr'wing the newbies. I have complained to "managment" about it but it is "pooh Ahh" I.E. LS are still making their $$ whatever happens.

    Anybody ever heard of this site?
    Vessage Load Board
    http://vessage.com/

    It was recommended by a questionable source.
    You take it cheap, what's to motivate them to ever give you a raise?

    I just tried a few demo searches that returned 0 loads and should have returned more than 150 compared to other loads boards. It's crap.

    The interesting part is that they want you to sign an agreement that you won't double broker their loads, yet they are doing the exact same thing. Of course, by the time everyone gets their cut the only thing that will be left is FUEL money. There is one think Landstar does very well.....make money. :wink:
