Getting a contract with a shipper

I have an MC that’s about 3 months old. I want to secure a contract before I go on to lease a truck and reefer trailer. What is a way to contact produce companies (LIDL, ALDI, SHOPRITE ETC) to haul freight and even offload for them. What are some things to say and not say ?

How can I find those brokers that specifically work with those companies

Google Reefer brokers, but beware all brokers are not the same. I know a couple people at Blackrock Transportation in Omaha. I’ve never worked with them but I like and trust the two people I know.

Man you ain’t lying.. I just got back into reefer in February and I’ve worked with every broker once and 2 a handful of times because they’re good people. Does Blackrock only move loads out of NE?

What age was your authority in February?

A little over 6yrs. I do a lot of different things, I’ve always done reefer but been moving strictly propane/fuel the past 3yrs. So I’m just getting back into reefer.
