Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

What Oscar said. Holy smokes that's bad.

 

Now we know who makes the big money... How close is your brokerage @PPDCT to the percent? I'd bet really close!!!

Last I looked, company wide we were at 14.2%. I myself was at 16.4% last month if memory serves. Faaaaaar cry from the 65% she claimed. Holy balls I need to figure out who their customers are.

 

When I was leased onto Mercer I hauled a couple loads they received through Trinity, I just wish I could remember where. Definitely flatbed loads.

And ya, if your company was pulling in 65% I'm pretty sure you wouldn't spill those beans on this thread anyhow.

 

Probably not! I also probably wouldn't be on here, either, lol, and I'd be paying people to do my honey do projects, instead of hanging my own trim.

 

That guy is a tool.

 

Don't know anything about him. Listened to the first few minutes while I was getting gas. The 65% she was claiming struck me as a biiiit ludicrous, anyway.

 

The best way to get the low-down on what many brokers are actually receiving is to exercise our "right to review" all details of the transaction. If you currently have a signed agreement with a brokerage where you have waived your right of review (which could be overturned by a good attorney in court if you were so inclined), I would suggest terminating or amending that agreement in writing immediately. If the brokerage is unwilling amend the agreement, it's a safe bet that you've been getting ripped off. Brokers are required to keep complete records for 3 years, and required to produce that information to all parties involved in a transaction. Any agent guilty of receiving TONU or detention and not passing that on to the carrier would be open to litigation, at least they would if I found out they had done it to me.

I have no doubt that brokers of PPDCT's caliber run an honest business and would have no problem supplying that information, and see the need for transparency. .
