Yes, you are responsible for this IMHO. Having said that, $15k is way too much money. I can see a crane company charging maybe $5k, but $15k is...
I have no doubt this kind of nonsense goes on. Many shippers will send a chain email to 30 brokers and tell them to cover a load; thus, it's...
A lot of brokers are former drivers. I myself drove for over 20 years. I get the animosity because I've seen your side of it; however, you can...
The broker pays out of pocket. BTW, this was posted in the "Freight Brokers Forum" rookie.
I don't think this goes on as much as you think. When I cover a load, that's it, done deal. I don't have the time to engage in these shenanigans....
I'd like people to stick to their word; however, some don't. In the end, service failures due to carrier cancellations can cost an account. The...
If it's "crappy" why take the load in the first place?
At times, yes. When a customer is quoted a rate, the broker margin is already included in that rate. Example: load booked and cancelled for...
When a broker or shipper cancels a load on a carrier, often times a TONU is in order. But when a carrier cancels a load, it coast the broker time...
Many shippers will send one load out to ten different brokers. Often times the broker has no idea what the shipper is willing to pay. I would...
You should see the amount of drivers that do the same to a broker/agent. You have a "breakeven point," that is good. You'd be surprised to see how...
Most shippers will start you out with one load if you can get your foot in the door. It took me 7 months to get all the freight from my best customer.
It may be however; when your building a book of business from zero and have no experience, it takes awhile to get started. Freight brokers are...
One load in three months at 10% margin is not great but you've gotten something. I've been told that the average margine for the brokerage I work...
Yes Sir, that's how it works. It makes my job a lot harder because I rarely play this game with customers. For me, it's not worth my time. I look...
Most drivers don't realize that probably as much as 35% of loads posted on DAT are either double postings or illegitimate loads. How does this...
I have not seen this posted anywhere. Was anybody witnes to this yesterday? GRAPHIC CONTENT: Suspect dead after pursuit involving 18-wheeler...
Ive seen better pictures than this one. The picture I saw showed the driver side steer tire off the rim but intact. Another picture looked like...
I agree, having said that, I watched the news footage and it looks like the driver side steer tire is off the rim but intact. You would think if...
I hope you’re being sarcastic? Either that or your CDL teacher was a fool.
