    Title says it all. What are your biggest pet peeves with brokers. I've heard a lot of different answers. The most common ones have to be that they will leave you out to dry when the going gets tough and that they can be really annoying (keep calling you to get updates). Anything I'm missing or does that pretty much say it all?

    the fact that they make as much or not more as us trucks. and we bear all the cost of hauling said load.


    i don't see any jobs looking for truckers and paying a 10 percent bonus UP TO 100,000 dollars.

    Just trying to get a wide range of opinions, thats all. And I keep getting that. Not sure what the push back is about.... This might sound crazy, but you don't have to respond or ever read them, you know. Hopefully your mind isn't too blown by that.

    So instead of reading the freight broker section of the forum, or the owner operator section of the forum you feel the need to post new threads constantly? Right. Wanna know why we don't like brokers browse around. The problem is what you're doing is spam or did you not read the rules of the forum? Might have been a wise idea hope that doesn't blow your mind.

    Who cares what they make!! You make it sound like a broker aint allowed to do better then you. If you are concerned that they are makin the same as you are then maybe yer negotiating skills need a brush up. If you get what you want to make it work for you then who cares what the broker makes...
