Hello! I'm trying to book the 1on1 call and don't see any available times to schedule for this year and all of 2025. Is that due to a glitch or is it that busy??

I wanted to share a quick tip that's been helpful for me in getting high-quality carrier leads. Tip: Leverage Load Boards with a Strategic "Hot Carrier" Tracking System How to Use It: Create a systematic approach to identifying and tracking the most promising carriers on load boards: 1. Set up accounts on multiple load boards (DAT, FreightWaves, TruckStop) 2. Develop a spreadsheet with columns: Carrier Name MCMX/DOT Number Contact Info Specialization Performance Rating Last Successful Interaction 3. Each week, filter load boards for carriers who: Have high on-time delivery rates Consistently handle your preferred freight types Demonstrate reliable communication 4. Pro Move: Use a CRM tool like Carrier Assyst or keep a detailed spreadsheet to track interactions, build relationships, and create a "hot list" of top-performing carriers. 5. Weekly Ritual: Reach out to 3-5 carriers from your hot list, even if you don't have immediate freight. Build genuine relationships. Bonus Tip: Many carriers appreciate carriers who treat them as partners, not just transactional contacts. A quick check-in or industry insight can set you apart. Give this a try and let me know how it works for you! Have any of you tried a similar approach? Share your experiences or other tips you have.

I wanted to share a quick tip that's been helpful for me in maximizing truck capacity and profitability during fluctuating supply and demand cycles. Tip: Leverage the DAT Load-to-Truck Ratio to strategically plan your routes and negotiate better rates. How to Use It: The DAT Load-to-Truck Ratio shows the number of available loads compared to trucks in a specific market. When the ratio is low (like 1:3), it means more trucks than loads, driving rates down. When it's high (like 3:1), fewer trucks mean you can negotiate higher rates. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: 1. Check the DAT Load-to-Truck Ratio for different regions daily 2. Identify markets with higher load-to-truck ratios (2:1 or 3:1) 3. Prioritize routes in these high-demand areas 4. Be prepared to negotiate rates 15-25% higher during peak demand 5. Use load boards and real-time data to track these shifts quickly 6. Pro move: Create a weekly tracking spreadsheet to monitor ratio trends. This helps you predict profitable routes before other drivers catch on. Give this a try and let me know how it works for you! Have any of you used load-to-truck ratios to boost your earnings? Share your experiences!
