My first fight with a broker as an Owner Operator

Understood, but pretty hard to prove when they didn't put the right carrier down.

And that's why details are important.

 

I'm not commenting on the difficulty of that; just noting that it's quite likely that there's at least enough of a leg to stand on that the broker in question at least has the option to hassle him about it. The whole thing in general is a silly affair and a suit would be petty beyond belief, but the industry is funny like that sometimes.

 

Not interested, i do just fine sitting behind a computer dealing with enough shenanigans as it is, dont need the headache of driving a truck on top of it.

 

I'd pay him what he wants. Now he's tied.

 

@Oor , just trolling, huh?

Bud, if you want to contribute you should prolly be more than a steering wheel holder. Because if you are an O/O you are one of the reasons this industry is so #### scummy and unprofessional, you sound like someone talking out their butthole.

 

@REO6205 - found an interesting link whilst I was kicking around looking into this. More interesting from an anecdotal perspective and not really relevant to OP or what have you, but it does look like they hold up.

Lol, more insults from a broker...

Look bud, I ain't the one who screwed up, and I have spent far more time fixing broker screwups than they ever have, or will, of mine.

 

Show us on the diagram where the bad broker hurt you.

edit: Crazy how there is so much hate for the brokers out here when most drivers couldnt/wouldnt be able to prospect, land, and maintain a customer. Also crazy how much hand holding i do on the daily with carriers and customers alike.

 

Anyway, gents, might I suggest that this particular bit's circling the drain? I don't think it's terribly productive for anyone.

 

Agreed. But when someone trolls me, i have a difficult time not trolling them back.
