Take out factor companies also and it would go a long long way towards thinning out marginal carriers and also carriers who grow irresponsibly. I see plenty 5 to 100 truck fleets factoring and it blows my mind. I’d always feel like I had one foot in the grave being like that.
UH OH !!!!

I think many trucking companies focus on the challenges and pain points of dealing with brokers because it's right in front of them and easy to focus on. But they fail to realize all the value adds (and why shippers have and continue to send so much of their business to 3PLs).
The cool thing about an capitalistic economy like ours is that if there isn't a demand for something (or the cost on the supply side is mismanaged) then that product or service eventually goes extinct.
The value add that a 3PL provides (primarily carrier&customer sourcing and acting as flexible cash flow between shippers and drivers) is the reason there are still so many successful brokers out there. -
It would work, and it would work awesomely.
Just as you said, loads would sit. So that the lesson of posting a cheap, or below fair rate would be learned quickly.
Or is the argument now "Oh the poor shippers?"Last edited: Jun 5, 2020

Everyone wanted the herd cut back.
Everyone didn't realize those guys sitting in their Volvo's for 8 hours uncompensated waiting to be loaded, would be the survivers.TallJoe, 650cat425, dwells40 and 1 other person Thank this. -
