    Freight brokers

    First of all, I want no eye gouging, foot stomping or foul language. What I'm after is a good current understanding of how the drivers / carriers look upon brokers and a few brokers in specifics. If what fits is not available as a choice put a comment.

    To get a CDL without going to school

    Other things to think of. If you are not able to re-instate your CDL, will prospective employers require you to go thru a school or if on your own will your insurance require the diploma in order to cover you.

    Panther Strait truck, and brokers?

    Sometimes brokers resist the idea of posting LTL loads, just because they believe they don't pay very much.

    needing help finding broker

    A lot of this is going to also depend on what your agreement between you and your company says. Does the agreement say that you can broker yourself out or that only the company can dispatch you? It does sound like you are new to the business of expediting, so be prepared for a learning curve...
