    But they do use brokers. Except maybe Crete. They claim they don’t. But I know for a fact JB does.

    I noticed plenty of big carriers listed on my class action suit against a brokerage. When you need a backhaul…

    When I was leased to Swift I got loads directly through a broker, negotiating my own rate.

    OP hasn't been on since they posted this on the 13th. Likely a one hit wonder, or more likely a driver with the mindset of a driver filling their days with miles instead of thinking about how to get ahead.

    The money is made in the negotiations, not the driving. And some third world cubicle dispatcher is going to make your business successful over theirs?
