HOW TO BOOK LOADS: What Brokers DON'T Want You to Know
Q: In your experience, what are the three most common misconceptions small carriers have about profit margins or negotiating rates?

Q: JR., how are you doing, and how do you get into trucking?
JR explains his transition from the Army into trucking, starting with riding along, then working his way into ownership and eventually focusing on heavy haul, driven by hands-on experience and long-term commitment.
What Small Carriers Don't Know About E-Commerce
Q: What should small carriers look for when vetting partners and avoiding bad actors?
Prioritize solid, long-standing relationships, require thorough documentation and photos, verify licensing and carrier data, and maintain clear, ongoing communication to prevent fraud and ensure fair, transparent pricing.
What Small Carriers Don't Know About E-Commerce
Q: Is there a clear path for small carriers to get involved in e-commerce and DTC fulfillment?
Yes, small carriers can participate by handling warehouse transfers, final mile delivery, and regional DTC distribution, not competing with big couriers but fitting into the network through specialized roles within the end-to-end supply chain.
