Jeez fellas lighten up. Don’t take everything so seriously. Everyone has their own Business plan. Everyone thinks theirs is the best for themselves. No one plans to fail. I don’t care how successful anyone is, they can still fail. Happens all the time. The old saying, Pride comes before a fall, is very true. This Business changes fast. Enjoy the good times while they’re here. Things go in cycles, always a backlash. This one will be short lived. 1 Truck or 20 Trucks. Basically all in the same Boat. 50000 Trucks? Different story. Different interests.

1. If the broker disclosed how much money they are making, if it was a fair amount then no one would care. If there proud enough to show it then there's nothing to hide.
2. Doesn't everything that involves shipping have a shipping&handing cost. Why hide it from the truck driver if it's a fair deal. -
Ahhh yes all this talk about fairness. Are you willing to disclose your cost to operate to the broker so they can make sure that you’re charging a fair rate?
The lane I run has been in the $4-5 per mile range for months. Now I’m seeing loads posted for $6+ on 500 miles. Should the brokers be able to use my costs to beat down the rate?larry2903, Midwest Trucker, D.Tibbitt and 4 others Thank this. -
Anyway, cost of operations isn't really the transparency of the shipment. It's the transparency of the profit of the shipment that is what the debate is about. And I'm going to bet that the cost of keeping a tractor trailer is a lot more that some office employee.

My outbound loads have been from the same broker for nearly 4 years. Should I be required to make this information public? I started using a new broker for my return loads a few months ago and he has deeper pockets than the outbound. Should I tell him that he’s paying me too much?
People want to complain about their problems instead of finding a solution.larry2903, Midwest Trucker, D.Tibbitt and 4 others Thank this. -
