Message:: [QUOTE="Short Fuse EOD, post: 11910532, member: 168110"]OP was listing brokers that he hauls for, an indication of spot market activity.You ask for the highest amount that you negotiate. You do not breakdown a fsc when negotiating one haul on spot market. Makes no sense. Waste of conversation. Do you have your own numbers?? If you are hauling for predetermined rate the reoccurring haul/lane a fsc is in place as you may in the settlement you showed if it’s a recurring customer. If you are just taking their assigned rate and what they call a fsc, that is on you! Remember the fsc you have in place is negotiated and written in your contract that you have both worked on for future loads. That’s your customer and your own shipping contract. Not what generally happens in the spot market. Yes you may see it in a settlement, CHR, coyote, or the one you shared, but it is explained in earlier post. Guys, this stuff is easy if you make the business your priority.[/QUOTE]
