Broker conversation

Just show him the $600-800 dollar receipt for ONE fuel up, which of course is just the tip of the iceberg. .

 

Brokers=dispatchers. They have a load they need covered, and they will sugarcoat the s*** to get it covered. The only real difference is that Brokers push the load a lot harder due to the fact they technically own all the responsibility when it comes down to it. I think they should all have to go through some form of training before they can foist loads on drivers, or sell loads to companies. Personal opinion.

 

knowledgable brokers are a breath of fresh air, theres plenty of them out there but some of the conversations Ive had with some make me wonder how theyre able to even put on their shoes in the morning. Be on your A game, a mistake on your part will cost you a lot of money , he makes his money regardless.

 

OMG!! Your hauling freight with team operation for only 2 bucks a mile? And stupid me thought we had enough problems fighting FMCSA,DOT and Mega Carriers.........and plenty of know it all O/O's on here bragging their averaging 2.50 pm hub miles. Please someone explain what I'm missing here.

 

I misread the post. Thought he refused the load at $2 a mile.

 

Your NOT gonna get much more than $2 per mile on a Van Load from VA to WA..Thats if its even a Van Load.....while I agree thats Cheap,

Go Look at what the Brokers are Paying from the Eastern Coast lines heading west.... $1.40- $1.60 per mile from a Borker


Broker Bob in Texas,(...... Probably 1 of the biggest ###-hole Brokers around) Pays Trucks .90 to $1.10 a mile from Texas to Mihigan,Ohio,Indiana Wisconsin...And Morons are taking it!

Broker Bob Worked For Stevens I think..Or 1 of those larger Van Carrier Brokerages.....

 

I understand that. Point I was making is there's a lot of SINGLE O/O's averaging more than that on hub miles. Well at least they brag on here they are. Sounds like some need negotiating lessons from them O/O's. I'd join. Stories like this making me wanna change my mind and become a broker.......Researching"..............

 

A-Tex Broker Training will set you right up for brokerage according to their site anyway? That might be Broker Bob's second job?LOL
