You can use www.landstarbroker.com for free. I don't know if you'll find much that fits in a Sprinter but they do have an option for LTL and some are small. I've used www.getloaded.com also but it's $35 a month so it may not be worth it. The biggest problems are that most loads online are too large for a Sprinter and they don't pay really well in most cases. I've picked up a couple that took me where I needed to go and made a fairly decent profit. Most have taken me where I wanted to go and paid my truck expenses plus bought one or maybe two burgers on the way. When you need to get home or elsewhere that's still a lot better than doing it d/h but you can't depend on the internet to earn a living, at least not that I've found.

Alot of smaller carriers use that site. And yes, they are a pretty decent source.

GPS411 costs $150/month. They also have a premier service that my carrier tells me costs $1500/month. It's an excellent way to find loads, make business contacts, manage your fleet, etc. I'm finding out in the few days I've had access to it, that it's a great way to double up on loads, or find a backhaul before accepting the initial load. I took a load from Detroit to NC, delivering yesterday. I almost had a sprinter load going back up to IN for Monday. I know... almost doesn't count. But those almosts become fact quite often. I would consider it even if I were with Panther or Express-1 (seeing as E-1 is also a customer). If I were by myself, there would be no question as to having it. It's invaluable to the independant expediter.
