Any good brokers in the northeast

I have brand new mc , had been leased on to pottles now bision mc for past 2 years as oo before they got bought out was a great company and had steady freight and getting 71% of load wasn't horrible... Now that I finally made the move and got my own mc to pull there freight as a " preferred carrier" there offering me an entire 74% of the load ........ I no I could survive on that but a broker taking 26% of load is a much bigger cut than I've ever heard of .....


That all being said are there any reputable brokers that run the northeast for lanes ? I live in northern Maine but have family in east pa as well but willing to run any where that the numbers make sense


Thanks for any recommendations

 

The preferred carriers I talked to under pottles contact were at 85% still rough but more than covered cost of insurance however now that it's bision it's a per mile rate they are offering and % just doesn't make much sense compared to where I was at

 

I'll alowies survive lol n yes I was expecting rough few months , 2 reasons I made the jump was because I new even if it sucked bision has enough freight to keep me moving to that 6 month mark ..... And pottles went from great family owned company to corporate when they sold .... I can just feel the bs corporate rules being written lol

 

Are they required to pay a certain % no .... Did I get bad info from contracts that were grandfather... Probably


Do I have another broker that I had been in talks with prior to getting my own mc as a back up , yes

Do I have good 2 + year working relationship with back up broker knowing that they can keep steady income and freight like I do with bision .... No that's why they were a back up

Can I survive the extra exp vs song and dance I was initially told before getting my own number with bision alone yes , will I give them a chance before claiming the world is ending and I'm fin ruined no problem

Am I seeing what else is out there in the mean time yep that's why I'm asking the forum


And for your the later comment if bision loses freight on a lane I run , yes preferred carriers will b first to b cut .... N if all my other broker options fail ..... I'll just jump back into my second truck that's under bisions MC and jump back up the line of who's getting freight cut from them lol


As my dad alowies said "belts and suspenders " have a back up to ur back to your backup plan ..... Probably none of them will go perfect anyway lol

 

Very true , that's why I know I can survive the next 6 month min even with the ####ty spot market


All it takes is finding that one back bone lane / client to make a thriving business
