help finding a broker

Zoli · May 5, 2011

Hi. I have a Ford E350 van currently leased with T&K. I try to find a good small broker for extra loads. I have my own cargo and liability insurance. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. You can PM me.

What authority do you need with a C/Van? E350 is under 10K.

If you drive out of state you must have DOT and MC number.

I have my ow authority but finding broker for straight trucks is confusing?

Does the broker have to be in the same state as my company etc?

Any recomendations?

Actually, just an MC number. You only need the DOT if you're running something over 10k. I ran my Sprinter for a couple years without a DOT number and didn't even get a DOT number until we leased on our first straight truck.

Careful some of the brokers are slow to pay so make sure you have a cash reserve always. And careful with the brokers that totally try not to pay the trucks a few out there like that not many but a few bad apples.

I've dealt with Peter in the past on a trip, real good guy and paid me on time. Moved his offices from Bensenville area closer to his home area of St. Charles.
