Hi Phil,
Thank you for you comments and suggestion of adding a load board. The Expresstrucking.com website was designed to provide helpful information as an introduction to the emergency  freight transportation industry. Through its popularity and success we have been expanding gradually. The very nature of true "emergency freight", which pays  rates expediters are looking for, does not seem to present the opportunity to be  found on a board. There are many load boards (listing truck load, LTL and the "not yet" emergency freight) available on the Internet and even in truckstops which are probably more accessible. There are very few resources available exclusive to this industry which is why we have concentrated our development on providing information. We will keep the possibility open to add a load board but with the high price of fuel many expediters are looking for higher paying loads  and trying to rely on their own carrier to get those loads. In the second  quarter freight usually picks up so keep your hopes up for things to get better with the fuel prices. Thank you for visiting Expresstrucking.com
Sincerely,
Linda@expresstrucking.com
