📞 Where to Find Your FIRST Load (New MC Guide)
If you just got your MC active, this is the question everyone asks:
“How do I actually get my first load?”
Here’s the real game
🚛 1. LOAD BOARDS (Fastest way to start)
Use these immediately:
- DAT Load Board
- Truckstop
- 123Loadboard
👉 You can find loads SAME DAY👉 Perfect for beginners
Pro tip:Don’t just click “book now” — CALL the broker directlyThat’s how you build relationships + get better rates
📲 2. DISPATCHERS (Done-for-you approach)
If you don’t want to hunt loads all day:
- A dispatcher finds loads for you
- Negotiates rates
- Keeps you moving
💰 They usually charge 5%–10% per load
👉 Best for beginners who don’t know how to negotiate yet
🤝 3. BROKERS (Where real money is made)
Brokers control the loads.
Start calling + building relationships with:
- TQL
- CH Robinson
- Echo Global Logistics
👉 Ask:“Do you have anything available for my truck in [your area]?”
📈 The more they know you = the more loads they send you directly
⚠️ REAL ADVICE (Most people won’t tell you this)
Your first week might be slow.
That’s NORMAL.
The goal isn’t perfection — it’s:✔ Getting your first load✔ Building 1–2 relationships✔ Learning how brokers move
💡 SIMPLE GAME PLAN
- Check load boards every morning
- Call 10–20 brokers daily
- Follow up consistently
- Stay active — don’t wait for loads to come to you ; YOU WANT THE BALL RUN TO IT AND TAKE IT INSTEAD WAITING FOR A PASS !!
