Should rates be public?

There will always be customer relationships, and we will never see "everything" being brokered.

Public unregulated rates will only fuel the race to the bottom.

 

No it won't, there are shippers who will fight brokers they see them as threats to controlling their supply chain system.

 

No man just no
Everything the government gets their fingers in they just F it up worse than it was before
End result is more expensive system, inefficient all the way around, and a whole bunch of do nothing government jobs get "created". There is no need.

Prove your worth quit fighting for the chicken feed

Rates were regulated to control gouging.Deregulation changed that as it was no longer needed. Same with Airlines, Telephone, Soon to be Cable. Cable companies are fighting now to keep territories and high rates.

 

Not in my area. Not happening. We haven't used a broker in over ten years and I hope we never do. Why? Because we don't need them. As a rule they're about one step above a snake oil salesman in honesty and integrity.
We've spent a lot of years building a good customer base and gradually adding to it as time went on.
Our two biggest customers have been with us over twenty years. We don't take that relationship for granted either. We make sure they get excellent service at a decent rate.
As far as publishing rates goes, I'm not in favor of it. The rates are between us and our customers. Period.

A quick look at the REAL worth of Amazon will give you your answer.

Forget what you see on Forbes, FBN, CNBC, and others. Price it or any other business the correct way, without speculation and speculators. And you understand why they continue to grow. And who stands to lose when markets collapse/correct. Not them.
