    What do you mean by "small trucking" (company) and what kind of freight are you wanting to transport?

    Try a website by the name of courierbrokers.com, don't let the name fool you. They have full truck loads, LTL freight postings there. I have a couple of straight trucks, a couple of flat beds. I've a few jobs from shippers and one from a broker. But there's a lot of available loads on there. Also they have a free trial period. It's pretty cheap compared to other sites I've tried. They also have a advertising directory, which is good to get your services out there.
