    If a trucking company brokers a load through you/your broker business and they pay their drivers commission why can you NOT tell the driver what the load is paying?
    Will you if the driver asks?

    The driver's relationship is with his employer NOT with the broker.

    I think as a driver he wants the broker to tell him what the load pays>I believe he is wanting to go behind his employers back.

    Its really no more your business to know the companies financial situation, than it is for Jim Bob Jones down the road to know yours. I mean, other than curiosity, why would it be so important for you to know.

    And, to answer your question, no, I wouldn't (generally speaking) tell my employee's how much the load is paying. That's my business. Its private.

    Not giving you a smarta** answer, just answering your question.

    The driver is paid on a comission basis.

    If he is bein paid a %a of the load i could see where he has a legitimate question, also on the same hand if he thinks the company is not being honest with him it is time to find a better company.

    Why is the pay amount of the load not any of the driver's business? If they're paid % it's plenty of their business.
    The reason I posted this I was dispatched on a brokered a load through a "logistics" company. I was told to call the broker direct for the load info. So I asked what the load paid the broker says "We can't tell the driver the pay because we got in trouble for telling a driver the load pay and the company was skimming off of the top".

    Your relationship as far as remuneration is with your employer NOT with a broker. You discuss remuneration with your employer and not with a broker. It's called simple business ethics.
