FMCSA stated there was already talk of removing brokers altogether from the market to surge rates for trucking carriers post-ELD mandate. Maybe they're finally receiving the message? Brokers = Thieves

Gotta be careful what you wish for @samjward have you seen Amazon's contract for small carriers cutting out the brokers? I have and boy was it an eye opener. A lot of bogus info going around that they are offering direct carriers $1.85 + fuel in off peak and $2.25 + fuel during peak. Seems like they are counting on no-one reading their contract and doing some math. They are working hard at cutting out the brokers completely and their rates direct are DIRT CHEAP.
An example Lexington, KY to Chattanooga, TN 275 miles pays a whopping $1.56 a mile with fuel. They have some short runs paying $2 a mile with fuel. Like a $130 on 65 miles. Getting excited yet? Instead of cutting brokers out how about we cut out cheap truckers and brokers alike who don't know wtf they are doing? Or just let the market wipe them out? Maybe they could go get jobs working for Amazon after they wash out on some other transportation job?Mark Griz, Panamapilot, boredsocial and 3 others Thank this. -

There are companies who simply support and allow any type of behavior so as long they profit and this is the issue. Within the industry people take advantage of market stability but to have this as core value and a business model is what leaves scars on reputations, still both worlds have coexisted a very long time and no matter what form it comes in there will always be those who do business the right away and those...well you know.

Personally I don't think taking advantage of market conditions and getting the most money one can is bad business. I get tired of brokers who say that saying it. As if for a carrier to charge above normal market rates when conditions warrant it is abhorrent. Spare us the lectures. Brokers do the exact same thing.
Bad business is not keeping one's word, not paying TONU, beating someone out of detention, lying to cover a load. Those are bad business practices. And of course that's a two way street.Dale thompson, samjward and spyder7723 Thank this. -
