Brokers are thieves!!!

The broker industry is regulated, you think they file bonds out of the goodness of their hearts?

 

Needs more.

 

Why, has more regulations helped trucking?

 

Deregulation sure didn't help it. And yes alot of the regulations has protected drivers. Much does need improvement.

Regulate brokers too. Why just trucks?

As a salesman I'm sure you heard.
" All ships rise with the tide."

What is good for the trucker in the end will be good for the broker.

 

What leads you to believe that rate transparency will help the trucker? What broker is willing to pay is what theyre willing to pay. They aren't going to pay you better just because you think you know what theyre making.

 

Brokers who charge too much will be passed over for a better broker. The trucker isn't required to do business with a broker.
Brokers need to profit too. If a shipper isn't willing to pay enough than a broker no longer has an incentive to do business with that shipper.
Shipper has to up the pay till it is worth the brokers time to handle their load.
Truckers make more and the brokers make more.

 

Or the brokers will take an even bigger cut because they're being required to tell the competition exactly what it'll take to underbid them. The non compete clauses will be extended to 3 to 5 years instead of the typical one, and God help you if you break it, they won't settle for 15% of what you made they'll want ALL of it and punitive damages too.

 

But again the trucker isn't required to do business with that broker.

There are good salesman that will thrive and others that will fail. Real estate agents have strict transparency and regulation. Some make it BIG some fail. The possibility of the BIG keep new agents trying. Most fail. The brokers who are good will make out like bandits the others, well who cares.

 

You're comparing apples and horse #### again, we've been over this already in this thread, or maybe it was the other one they're running together in my head.

 

You are not required to do business with any particular broker now, without new regulations.
