Broker Screaming

The process is interesting.

Talked to guy this morning I deal with frequently. He had a several loads available from and to where I was going. He offered me $2,500. I told him I wanted $2,800. "No way they'll take that right now..." Okay, I said, talk to you later. Hung up and booked a load for $2,800.

Phone rings an hour later, "hey, turns out they will take pay $2,800..."

Too late, man. Sorry.

 

My favorite line I've been using with these brokers lately is, "you can pay me now, or pay someone else more later."

I understand the market is cyclical and based on capacity. However, it's sure nice when I have the opportunity to use that line on them

 

Your second broker got you set up in a few minutes. Do business again with that second broker. He showed that hes FAST doing information with you and your company.

First broker is a POS 22 hours for a simple rate qoute. Discard him and don't do any more business with him. Time is your money. Don't sit around 22 hours waiting on a number. Get moving loaded. Your second broker had that number for you in 3 minutes poof done. He wins. You win. Fire the first broker.

If I was a broker I already know to have a rate to you in 5 minutes. Time is money. And Im not even a broker. or know very much about it. But I will do this information FAST to you so you come to me in the future for more loads. Win win all around.

 

This exact same scenario has happened to me several times.....and I SWEAR it is 2 bored brokers messing with me! The first time I felt bad the second time I said tough crap slow poke YOU lost your company and me a load!! Try harder next time or don't call me again!
