What Is A Fair Cut For The Broker?

How does driver know its cheap when brokers don't disclose how much they're keeping.

 

O

The blame is on the driver/ owner operator. I'm leased onto a 500 truck fleet, only owner operator. We have numerous brokers from Landstar, Jones, Mercer, and the rest of them here. Ive lost count of the loads I see on our board posted for 2500 TTT, that are listed for $1000 on ITS... Why? The answer is simple... If that agents gets only 8% off the 2500 versus finding suckered for much cheaper at $1000 which does she choose?

 

Loads coming out of Washington going to OH..
44k lbs, 4 days on the truck if no snow delay.

Rate offered..$1.20 per mile,lol
The rest of the loads aren’t much better but the morons will eat them up.

 

I don’t care what the broker makes or looses. It’s irrelevant to my business. I get what I want or need or I don’t haul it.

 

What a broker earns shouldn't determine what you run for.

 

You haul live stock right? It's different

 

Why would a broker want us to know what they’re getting for moving a load? So we can take the information and go undercut them?

 

Agreed

 

Brokers are NOT necessary, they are there for convenience, and what they are allowed to keep is not one’s fault but the “buisness owners” that allow it

 

Driver will be out of business before it all said and done. That's how he knows.
