Just starting out with a single enclosed trailer, under CDL. I am 100% complaint, check SAFER.

I can see that there may not be enough cents per mile from this site, and was told CD and others are much better.

So, how do I get the 3 references required for CD and others?

Thanks in advance.

You're absolutely right Jack.  I apologize to the new hauler from Tennessee.  But I'm not sure until he has some experience in the business that I'd ever recommend that he subscribe to CD.  He needs some to gain some knowledge from experience transporting directly for individual shippers before he attempts to deal with some of the brokers on CD.  If some brokers sense he's inexperienced, they'll eat him alive and he'll either lose money or it will take forever to get paid.  I don't recommend anyone starting out with CD.  One step at a time.......

Just my two cents........

Yes I think Don is right on this one as I used a broker once and he robbed me and was using another peson who was giving me loads from this same broker You should not haul for a broker until you have delt with these people so as not to get burned after all you are doing all the work and they are making all the money!Brokers should be xd from your customer contacts!

Is there a load board that pays better than this place?

People have told me that I need to get hooked up with Barrett Jackson type auctions, but I'm not sure how to go about that, either.
