    Help me understand something because I can not see WHY this is done the way that it is.
    JB Hunt hires the carrier to haul a 2 stop load to GFS in Michigan.
    The carrier arrives and has to pay Capstone Logistics a lumper fee at each stop.
    The carrier turns in the receipt and invoices JB Hunt.
    JB Hunt invoices whoever they got the load from.
    WHY in the heck is the carrier even involved in this transaction. Am I crazy for thinking that we should only pick up and deliver and all other transactions should and could be handled electronically between capstone and JB, or GFS or whoever they want to bill?

    brokered load from JB. even though someone else is hauling it, it is still a JB load. so the carrier has to pay the lumper surface and JB has to reimburse the carrier. If JB doesn't have a account with the lumper service, that's way it is done like that
