    Agreed! Example: XPO is used exclusively by a large equipment rental company. I've moved several pieces of machinery for them and only occasionally has it been through the same broker. XPO will only give the loads to the brokers that have access to their freight through their brokerboard. They refuse to deal directly with Carriers.

    This essentially creates a fourth party that's absolutely unnecessary to take yet one more bite from the rate. Yet we're supposed to help them take food off our plate and allow them to stifle our sales efforts? I think not. If I want to solicit, I will.

    Parasitic behaviors in nature are regarded as such based on mere scientific - to some degree - biased observations. A life embedded in a parasite can have some subtle usefulness in the overall matrix of biological environment that is difficult to descern for outside observers, at least until crucial discoveries are made. That may be the case with XPO and their freight delegates. We, however, don't need to concern ourselves with these subtleties and still call that 4th party by their name because we have no use for them whatsoever.
