TQL forced on Article 49 to show original rate con

Here’s another crazy thought, but what if the rate started out higher but the truckers competed against each other and drove the rate down until the load had to move? Yes 47% is a lot, but nobody knows all the circumstances around this load. And at the end of the day the now out of business trucker felt the rate was good enough to get it on her trailer.

 

Possibility could very well be broker had long term contact in place with shipper and now being so many are out here hauling for fuel money broker end up keeping a lot.

 

This is the problem. Instead of seeing brokers as adversaries perhaps you should start looking at them as partners because without them YOU make nothing on spot freight. They are your only source of incme.The spot market is pretty much the broker's world. Youre literally complaining about your customers.

If you want better customers you have to go find them but you can't do that since you aren't a Carrier. Go get your own authority and your own customers. Otherwise, your crying sounds very foolish. Stop hauling THEIR freight and move on with your life.

 

There really is no problem, it's especially not the shippers and brokers.

If anything It's too many trucks and too many trucks hauling for fuel money rates.

However even that isnt really a problem because the cheap rates forces more and more people out of business which we're currently seeing and then that temporary too many truck problem goes away.

 

If the broker is not entitled to that missing 47 percent; who is? You, of course. That's the impression you're giving me at least. That is the dictionary definition of entitlement.

 

The rates are cheap because people are moving them and/or cutting each other's throats to move them. Do you even negotiate your own loads?

 

Again I never said that, nor who should be entitled for what.

In fact I just said a possibility is broker had a longer term contract in place.

Try reading some more, you'll get a better impression. Hopefully.

 

Yep dude is something else!

 

You do know that they bid on lanes that are winners and losers to get the contract right? I did a load for TQL last week and sure they lost money on it because it paid well over the going rate on that lane. But it had to be moved no matter what. You have to understand a little bit of what is going on by now I would hope. Good Gosh Man Pay Attention to the World we work in.
