I've only done it once but I called a large nation-wide broker with my from-and-to and they gave me a nice low price. Their fee is flat rate off your credit card with the rest in cash to the driver. After three weeks of nothing I called to ask "what's up?" and was told no "hits" on my haul which was WAAAAY out in the sticks away from an interstate. He didn't ask (remember the brokers are flat rate), but I offered to bump the price an extra $200 and got my haul contracted within a week so I guess money talks. I'd guess you'd have better luck using a large broker with a greater number of drivers in the network.
