Fingers crossed

If you choose to accept the rate offered then it must be a fair rate. If you didn’t feel it to be a fair rate then you wouldn’t accept it.

And you don’t think the shippers are all watching this dust up about brokers ripping trucks off? Let’s say there’s a large shipper that pays an average of $3 a mile to a broker. Now they find out the broker is moving their stuff for an average of $1.80 a mile. Do you think they’re going to tell the broker to pay the truck more or will they try and pay the broker less?

 

What’s it matter what they were paid? That’s a separate transaction that you aren’t involved in. When you buy tires do you ask to see what the shop’s cost is on tires?

 

They should probably just investigate the IQ of the people taking $0.60 miles loads

 

So if i dont know if a broker is taking a loss on a load then how could u know what they are making ? Like i said some of u guys is forgetting how u make money, if ur a spot market runner or dont have ur own customers. Guess whos paying ur paycheck? A broker. If they dont offer what u deem is a fair rate then make more phone calls it aint rocket science...i have been making profit all thru this pandemic and low rates. Sure a couple weeks and the whole month of march was very tough. There was days a made close to 100 phone calls to find something that i could make money on.. Its part of doing business is getting thru the good times and the bad times.... I dont see what good comes from the government intervening even more in this industry..id bet if i interviewed 100 truckers and asked them the biggest challenge inthis industry. 80% of the answers would be related to something the GOVERNMENT has brought into this industry ........ The last thing we need is more of that.

 

So once rates are public knowledge like everyone wants it will make it easier for brokers to undercut each other since they will know the rate.
