[QUOTE="gokiddogo, post: 12385069, member: 81981"]Brokers are in competition with each other as well... a shipper who only cares about cost may play them off each other so they will first give it to the cheapest broker and if it doesn't move he gives it to the next one, up the list he goes until it gets moved. Although some will lead you to believe the broker bids it for $8 a mile then offers the truck 1.25 and instead of coughing up perhaps 3.00 it's smarter to tell the customer it's hard to find trucks...:biggrin_25520:[/QUOTE]
