Good brokers to use for reefer loads and what lanes?

Hi guys, we have been around the industry forever but as owner operators leased to a company. So we never had to worry about getting our own loads. Just recently (about 7months ago) we got our own authority and it's been a hassle to get work sometimes. I use C.H Robinson a lot but I would like to know what other brokers are out there that are decent paying? Another thing, we are based out of Houston, TX so, what lanes should I move towards?

 

Thanks guys. What I'm having difficulty with is moving loads back into Houston or at least close enough to home. And the ones I do find are dirt cheap so I don't move them. When brokers call me asking me to move for cheap I just laugh and then I hang up. I find decent loads out but coming back in is hard. I'm trying to find dedicated routes

 

What brokers you use for those ?

 

Well if you don't mind help me out with the contact info. Or broker you use. Right I got a load from Houston going to Henderson, NC and I'm still trying to find a load back down
