    I have a question if me and a broker agree on something but on our war to deliver something changes and I don't like the changes can I go leave the load back to the shipper with out any retaliation from the broker.

    Heres what happened me and broker agreed on a rate for pick up on a Thursday and deliver Saturday but the broker sent me the rate confirmation with pick up on Thursday but deliver sunday I told him that's not what we agreed he said pick the load up and I will change delivery on how we agreed, so on Friday I got to the delivery point to be ready for Saturday delivery at 6 am but the receiver said load is scheduled for sunday delivery at this point can I leave load back to where I got it from? I prefer losing money than making the brokers rich and liers.

    Is it in writing? The original agreement.

    PLEASE tell me you both have it in writing. Please...

    Don't move your truck until you have a signed rate confirmation with terms that you can live with. If it's not in the written contract, then you're out of luck.

    Any time I get a rate confirmation that is different from the agreement l tell them to cancel me off the load. Once you load it's pretty much too late to back out.

    Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, get the job done and cut your losses.

    Lesson learned, move on.

    Don't make the same mistake again.

    Sounds like your broker said what they needed to to get you to load it and get it to its destination. Knowing the whole time they'd be taking the weekend off and not having to worry about it because they knew you'd be there. Just a thought tho. And I agree with all the get it in writing replies
