Lots of my rate cons from small brokers show signs of being double brokered. I see it all the time and wish I could un-see it. It only p*sses me off.
Look close at your paperwork (rate con/bill of lading and sign in/out sheet) at shippers and you'll often see evidence of big 3PLs. Yet another price we pay.Scooter Jones Thanks this. -

Yeeeah. I hate that ####. Finding out I've been double brokered is one of a handful of things that takes me from easy to deal with and turns me into a rat #######.
86scotty and Scooter Jones Thank this. -
Scooter Jones Thanks this.

I was just wondering...looking at those p.o.s. rates by both Convoy and Uber lately, if there is a possibility that they can show different rates to different people? Some say that they see great rates here and there, while I must be blind seeing none. Otherwise, their A.I. algorithms must have concluded that I must be a cheap fellow. I start disliking those apps, to put mildly.

If you can think it they can write the code to do it and that's exactly what they do, squeeze every cent possible.

I have no doubt they do that. Heck, a broker can see what they paid you on the last load for a particular run.
I've had several try and use that as the basis and leverage for what they'll pay. No matter if the lane is up 20/30% or not.
Had that happen to me just yesterday. Guy tells me, "Shipper won't pay that right now." I had quoted him 30% above the last load.
He calls me back 30 minutes later and all the sudden the shipper could pay my rate.whoopNride Thanks this.
