I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. If they could they would do it to you without ever having second thoughts. You don’t become rich without screwing other people over.
This sounds bad but we all want to do it

The sad reality we live in :/TexMountain and Badmon Thank this. -
There’s also a contract that you sign with the broker if you try to go around him and break the no compete clause he might come after you, unless it’s a shipper you’ve never hauled for through that broker!

There are shippers out there looking to get rid of the broker. I've had a few give me their business cards during my otr years.
You'd stand a better chance though with more then one truck.
As someone once menetioned on here. Your one and only truck breaks down. You and your entire business breaks down.
I talked to Nucor. They want at least 2 trucks. To be a direct carrier without the broker.
Depending on what trailer you pull. Steel and lumber and cars probably won't be too hard. Groceries also. -

I’ve had a shipper once who wanted to bypass the broker by offering me the same rates the broker was and same terms, no detention no nothing, this way he wouldn’t have to put my trailer online to get loaded or unloaded ASAP, I told him not happening. Shippers aren’t stupid they know what the broker makes and are willing to cut him out of you give them the discount, basically under cutting the rate. You’ll keep that shipper until he finds a broker or carrier that can undercut your rate.
Just the way things are done.Lite bug and flatbedcarrier Thank this.
