Message:: [QUOTE="Charlie42, post: 12246016, member: 320021"]Ya, I’ve never heard of a broker that will pay 1/2 up front. Seems like a uship thing. The broker get their cut the second they dispatch the truck and the bad ones just want you loaded on at any cost or event to you because that relieves them of any liability from losing their commission. I had a load a month ago that was a partial at 16,000lbs. When I showed up to pick up the shipper let me know it was 31000lbs. Obviously couldn’t reach the broker at 4pm PST when they’re on the east coast. Got the shipper in touch with a local heavy haul as they needed it shipped and in Idaho by the next day. Broker called me the next day screaming at me for referring them to someone that could help out because the broker sent me wrong info. Just weird. My 3 claims are all “in processing”, but the surety bond rep let me know it will be 2-3 months at best if I see anything.[/QUOTE]
