    Lol.. that's a good policy cause they'll drill holes and hack into wires, generally just #### stuff up, like there's no tomorrow if you let them

    The question is how much do brokers really pull in ?

    Im guessing 120K per year average for a workaholic type broker.

    Most of them I deal with are go getters...they aren't lazy at all.

    if there is money to be gotten they will get it.

    Landstar if the rate is crap why would you take the load. Just goes to show the mentality of some drivers. I will do a crap job because i did not get my way. Why not just say no to the load and do a load you want. If the loads you are pulling now are that good you should kiss the guys ###. Because as soon as you drop the ball their will be a line behind you to take the load. You work together as a team and stop thinking you are doing him the favor. I have $3 pm loads and some drivers still want more. It is not the brokers fault some people do not know how to run a trucking business.

    If that load is going to some blackhole , Jerkwater, USA. location with NO freight, then I would'nt load it for less the $4.00 per mile....

    Correct me if I'm wrong here. But isn't it location? Where your at during the right time that other driver's aren't to get lucky for a high paying load? How you know Landstar and others like them not getting 3 PM and Offering you 2 PM? If you already own your own truck why not just pay 300 and get own Authority to cut middle man and get honest rates at that moment?
