Just show him the money!
Jamario Baugh of 2-Way Express uses Load Board Pro to run a profitable independent trucking business.
“You can make up to $2,000 a day on Truckstop using a flatbed. I did flatbed for 4 to 6 months in 2024 and I made enough money that I rebuilt my engine and paid cash for it.”
– Jamario Baugh, Owner-Operator, 2-Way Express
Resilience and perseverance pay off for independent owner operator Jamario Baugh.
Can’t stop—won’t stop. When Jamario Baugh set his mind on building a trucking business from scratch, he refused to take “no” for an answer, even when brokers told him he needed more experience before they’d give him a load. His determination and gumption paid off.
In December of 2021, 2-Way Express was born. We caught up with Jamario at MATS 2025, and he was eager to share how Load Board Pro has been instrumental in running his one-truck flatbed business, and more importantly, his profitability.
For Jamario, it’s all about the features.
When he started out, Jamario ran a dry van and used Load Board Basic. He’s also tried other load boards.
Eventually, when he made the decision to switch to running a flatbed truck and was offered promo pricing on Load Board Pro, he made the switch to strictly using Pro. He hasn’t looked back.
It makes finding loads so much easier. I’m not ever switching.”
Jamario attributes his success in finding loads and making more money to the features of Load Board Pro, in particular Real-time Live Loads, Rate Insights, and Load Alert Notifications.
My favorite is when the loads book me!”
Jamario said he can be eating a bowl of cereal when a load proactively comes to his phone, referring to Load Alert Notifications, which automatically sends loads that match your needs right to your Smart Phone. He also likes seeing the live loads in real time and getting higher rates, thanks to Rate Insights.
Load Board Pro easily pays for itself—and then some.
Jamario has a system. He’s diligent about tracking his expenses—both personal and business—and he’s adamant about it. That’s how he knows the value of his load board subscription.
Even if you do one local load for $700, you’re still going to make money. It pays itself off.”
Gregarious by nature, Jamario isn’t shy about sharing his knowledge with fellow owner-operators. “It makes no sense not to keep the load board in your back pocket. If you book one load, there’s no reason you shouldn’t make your money back, plus some. I’m going to recommend it to everybody because it makes me money.”
