    This is why transparency is a good thing ( my congresswoman agrees too ).

    Yeah, if they wanna complain they better recognize their enemy, the Amazon monster. Amazon and all big tech need to be broken up before we dive further into this technocratic nightmare. I feel like I'm living in a black mirror episode. Starting to think Ted K is right

    Good article, thank you for sharing Dave.

    I haven't had my coffee yet, so I may be missing something, but why do you correlate a need for transparency with this article?

    Yeah, couldn't be that higher demand for trucks had anything to do with it, that just never happens.

    And if you're gonna demand the right to know a broker's profit, be prepared to tell them your exact cpm. If you want to look up in their business, then they get to look up into yours as well.

    My cpm is guaranteed way lower than theirs. ;)

    (Unless maybe if you count all their miles between the couch and the beer fridge...)

    Brokers days are numbered. They aren’t needed and the sooner the industry figures that out the better for everyone from consumers to drivers.

    Once the brokers have been conquered everyone will go after the factoring companies for “making too much money” from owner operators.

    Can you explain why they’re not needed and what will take their place?
