I'm gonna guess the brokerage is billy bob's alligator eatery and the broker only has nubs for fingers. That's why it takes so long to get an email reply. It's hard typing with a single nub
Mega brokers:TQL, Landstar,XPO, ETC….

Redacted LLC or JB Hunts, they all pay the same in the grand scheme of things. In the grand scheme of things, it is the market that tells the broker what they will pay you, not you telling the broker what they should pay you, on the condition that you know the market and won't let yourself be duped by the broker.
Big brokers with their own load boards most of the time post much smaller rates, with a few exceptions when capacity is really tight. But don't fall for it, it would be foolish to just literally "click and book" without bidding, calling your rep - you need to find someone within C.H.R, Coyote, XPO...to be your rep, a person of acquaintance, and try to jack up the rate a little, or simply waiting or finding that posting on the DAT and then calling on it... BTW those reps are looking for you to be directing the rate request through them, they don't like the apps. The Megas also have their desperate moments and will agree to pay you all money in the world to take that last-minute load, if needed.
Load board freight is inferior to private network freight, where brokers hand their tenders to their favorite carriers directly, and you never see that freight on the loadboard. That is, of course, the benefit of a relationship...something that I never found, not that I was not looking for it too hard either. I guess I don't want to be under some moral obligation of loyalty and deed reciprocity. I like to be like a cab driver where each customer is a unique history - pay me your fare and we're done.86scotty Thanks this. -

$4.02 a mile out of the north east to PA for Tql last few weeks, might do better with some of the smaller brokers but I worry about getting paid, and my customer out of PA pays both ways coming back up so I can run empty if I can’t make money running down loaded

@Texasrig, your forum quoting skills need a little work.
I'm not responding to the content for you or him but I can tell you he's probably already put you on ignore. That guy won't have anyone disagreeing with him.
Best of luck out there. I don't know or care where or what you plan to run but with your attitude you'll fit right in with all of the crooked jerks in trucking these days. Have you and your moral compass started a thread on how to steal fuel yet?JimmyTwoTimes and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
