Landstar double brokering freight ???

Yes a lot of Landstar agents double broker. They sit and watch load boards, and when a decent paying load comes up they will book it as though they are going to put it on a Landstar truck. Once they have it booked, they take whatever money they can out of the load and repost it back on the boards, and broker it to another carrier.

 

You ever work off the open load boards?

 

And you've never caught a Landstar agent double brokering a load? Or seen brokers that actually put in the notes "No Landstar"?

Cause when I did, it was an everyday thing to see them double brokering loads.

 

I hate those double brokering Landstar agencies with a passion. Have not seen a good Landstar load on the open board in a long time. All double brokering crap.
Also, it's not that Landstar only promises their own trucks. For example a trucking company "A", let's call it a "Shady Chicago immigrant outfit" books a load, then their friends, who own a Landstar agency, post it on the open board.

When I see a shady Landstar business, I try to call the original posting brokerage and tell them what's going on.

 

Well I had a broker one time ask me if I was in any way affiliated with Landstar. He said every load he gave to them they double brokered it, and was suing them.

Landstar agents are the only ones I ever caught red handed, just cause how obvious it is with them.

 

Well I think that settles it, time to close this thread and move on
