Default shippers and/or freight

Good afternoon all. This is going to seem like a goofy question but i seem to have a major brain freeze. I'm looking for a site or a place i can go to look for some shippers or companies that need freight hauled. I have done searches but i haven't had any luck, i dint know what I'm doing wrong, maybe I'm thinking to hard. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Default Load board options

I'm going to presume you're a new O/O. As far as online sites, you can pay for load boards like GetLoaded, Internet Truck Stop or 123Loadboard. There are other more expensive load boards that are DAT based, or there are new hybrid boards that try to match loads/carriers. The reality is that freight volumes are low and it's difficult to find new shippers in this depressed market. Best of luck to you.

P.S. You might want to brush up on your research skills; all you have to do is google "freight load boards" and you'll get all the above information.

Default Thank you

Thank you for the info, ya i know how the freight is right now but I'm the type who believes that if i keep a stiff upper lip, keep rolling, be "frugal" and i don't loose the sight of the "big" prize than i will come out ahead and will make it. i know it will take a lot of work but, I'm prepared.
