Signed confirmation but load gone.

Try and at least get Truck Ordered Not Used pay from the broker.

 

Did you show up at the shipper or was it cancelled right after you booked it. Truck ordered not used would be appropriate if you showed up at the shipper. Or were in route when it cancelled.

Yep 40 you are right, I did forget that part of it. I read deeper into the OPs post than what was there, thanks for catching it

 

With my confirmation signature, I always put $100 cancelation fee if truck not used.

 

Only $100? If you deadheaded a 100 miles you're still losing money, not to mention the time you had involved. Teach brokers a lesson they will remember by charging them a significant amount for their stupidity. How about between half and a typical days revenue?

I forget what our rate for a truck not used is, I think it's between $300 and $600

 

It should be written in the contract that the broker agrees to when you get "set up" with them. Update the contract to include a fee for a "truck ordered and not used". You will need to send out new contracts to all of your brokers with the changes.
