[QUOTE="Dino soar, post: 10987177, member: 208212"]Well it may sound overly simplistic but there just are some loads that pay more than others and some Brokers that pay more than others. Some loads absolutely have to go and they'll give you well above market rate for it. Some don't have to go and they'll reschedule it for another day if they can't find a truck so they're willing to pay less. Then there are other Brokers that maybe they're double brokering or whatever and some I think don't really care if they move the load so they pay the least. Whatever the load pays the broker has a limit on whatever that is. I think that the trick is to ask for enough up front that you're as close to that rate as you can be. But if it's a broker that just doesn't pay well or that load doesn't pay well then it just is what it is there's nothing more you can do. Except to make more calls. So the answer really to get Brokers to pay more is to not take the cheap Freight.[/QUOTE]
