New Broker wants O/O advise

Bless Jehovah I will attempt to explain this once more and that's it. Transactions have different parts. Just like they have different parties. Just because you were a party to one PART of the transaction does not entitle you to view the parts which do not PERTAIN to you. They are impertinent to you because as a carrier you were not necessary at that point in the transaction. You became necessary at the point when the broker and the shipper came to agreement WITH EACHOTHER, with no input from you. How could YOU be a party to that? Now begins the carrier's involvement in the transaction, not from the beginning of it. You act like you can walk in there and ask and they have to lay it right out there for you from beginning to end. That is not the way it works. Someone put the word PERTAIN in there for a specific reason. You are entitled to review the broker's records PERTAINING to the services YOU provided as a carrier. You are not, however, entitled to review the service HE provided to his shipper, because it DOES NOT PERTAIN to you. What he charged the shipper is none of YOUR concern. Whatever number you and the broker agreed on is none of the SHIPPER'S concern. It does not PERTAIN to him. Therefore, he is not entitled to review that part of the transaction. I'm not getting through at all.

 

Federal law would disagree with you point of view.

 

Precisely... the Federal Uniform Bill of Lading Act mandates disclosure, upon written request, of the agreement, including rate agreed upon between shipper and broker... ya may not LIKE it, but that IS the law... arguing morality, decency, privacy, etc is useless... try getting by a logbook inspection by claiming any of those "rights"

 

Agreed. But it's not helpful. Nor especially useful. If I ever felt a real need to request that information from a broker I would seriously need to question why I was doing business with that broker in the first place.

 

Exactly why the law was put in place.......


I have made a reference to this law a couple of times when I thought a broker was being shady.....

Suddenly there was money to pay a fair rate....


But I still refused to do business with that broker for the very fact my gut said there was something not right.....

 

I live in Florida but I get all my freight out of Alabama so I live in Alabama. Yes it takes an act of congress to get back to Alabama cuz everyone wants to come here.

 

The Federal Uniform Bills of Lading Act was superseded by Article 7 of the Uniform Commercial Code years ago. Please don't refer to it as mandated law in 2013.

 

REALLY??? Hmmmm.... the Section 7 you refer to IS part of the Uniform BOL Act... 49 U.S.C. 80101 et seq... I guess someone should notify Congress that their legislation has been superseded...
