I am almost to my 1 year authority age and I feel discourage....I dont know why but I feel like this hill that I am fighting is somewhat gonna get harder somehow. Dat load board rate are getting worse and worse and I feel like giving up. Even asking for $2 a mile is already asking too much to some of these brokers. Its hard out here.

Hi Guyz,
Can anyone help me in building credit ratings and history on Ansonia? We are a new freight broker, due to no history, carriers are not willing to work with us even if i offer them to pay in advance. Please guide.
Hi everyone!! Looking to create some connections with freight brokers for my shipping needs. I’ve got a liquidation business and buy inventory from across the country…lot sizes anywhere from cargo van to 26 footers. My previous relationship kind of flamed out so interested in exploring new options! Really just looking for a positive long term relationship with good rates, reliable drivers, great communication, and overall mutual respect.
Let me know if anyone you’d recommend! Thanks in advance
I have been working in the freight industry for 8 years and have been building a tracking/visibility platform based around some of the frustrations I’ve had with the current options.
I’m looking for 5–10 small/midsize brokerages that would be willing to pilot it for free and give me honest feedback.
Current features include:
-Live driver location tracking
-Driver tracking link via text — no app required
Automated location updates
-Detention/dwell alerts when a driver has been sitting at a facility
-Ability to communicate with the driver from the broker portal
-Tracking history and timestamps
I’m not looking to sell anyone anything during the pilot. I’m mainly trying to figure out what brokers actually like, what sucks, and what’s missing before we roll it out further.
If you work at or own a brokerage and would be willing to run a few loads through it, comment or DM me.
I’d also be curious what you currently use for tracking and your biggest complaint with it.
