    I am a carrier based on the West Coast and I had a shipper I was working directly with. But that shipper no longer gives me loads. So I did so research and found out that some other broker is hauling the freight for a lower price. I am really pissed over this

    It's not another broker, it's another carrier hauls the freight for a lower price than you. So much lower, that even broker in the middle makes money

    And that’s why others haul it cheaper unfortunately . Just remember when freight picks up again and they call to add extra in the rate.,

    No need to be pissed man. It's the money game. Find yourself a new shipper, and find multiple shippers. Then if you lose one, it dont sting as bad. It's all business.

    Isn't he the 19 yr old trying to start dump truck business? If so, yeah lots you're gonna learn. First one. There will always be someone out there willing to do the same job for less. It is called competition.

    No one feels sorry for the starving broker when the shoe is on the other foot and theyre charging $5 a mile. Its a chess game. Moves and countermoves. Get when the gettin is good. Get out when it aint.

    Heres some food for thought. Maybe the shipper wasnt happy with your service.
