    Say Broker A gives Carrier A a load and Carrier A hands it off to another Broker (call it Broker B) who hires Carrier B to finalize. So broker A - carrier A - Broker B - Carrier B

    Is this type of service illegal?

    I think it's technically legal. Lots of carriers open up brokerages and do this kind of BS

    Double brokering is not illegal.
    Also, the example would be subcontracting, not double brokering.

    There’s one big A , whole, in there.

    The other A, and a couple of Bees, are getting the less sweet end of the honey comb.

    Here is the twist!
    Broker A, and carrier A are subsidiarys of Broker B, and carrier B.

    Bro.

    You just broke the internet.

    Pass ‘Go’, collect the $200, and have 4 free railroads.

    :)

    I forgot the kicker.
    Both brokers are in same office space.
    And both carriers are in same building.
    And all are located in Indianapolis.
