For those of you that use Brokers all the time, here's why they call you so much
The broker feels since he/she lead you to freight.....Its "their" freight,And want to control "you" the carrier from start to finish.
The want to handle you and control you the best they can, They "The Broker" Feels since they worked so hard to secure that customer, They don't want you "carrier" to know anything about the customer they secured.
Simply put..If brokers are a pain, You avoid them.....NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
Brokers I pull for say just text or email when I arrive and depart shipper or receiver. Or every morning if it's a long load. Or if there's a problem they need to know about. Other than that... both of us would rather not use the phone if it isn't needed. No macro point. Nothing else. I guess it's an earned privilege (?) of excellent service over the years.
Even got them asking me what days and times I want for pickup and delivery now.... life is good.NavigatorWife, Asymptote and PPDCT Thank this. -

Been going on for years. A pain though when the phone isn't answered by said broker. This goes on even with company drivers when the company brokers a load through a broker.

Just a little thing called pick it up on time and deliver it on time and no general b.s. Aka service. I have an understanding with my brokers and it's always the same price. Easy for everyone.
If someone wants to rock the boat then this horse has other stables to call home. No biggie. I much prefer hanging out in the same stables if I can help it though.Midwest Trucker and PPDCT Thank this.
