    Brokers are taking entirely to much money off of every load that Carriers are booking everyday. Brokers should be regulated on how much they can take off of a booked load. Please sign this petition and help to get the Trucking Industry regulated so Carriers and Owner Operators could get well compensated fairly on every load they book with Brokers. We should also as Carriers get the opportunity to transport products directly from the shipper. Shippers will not even really deal with Owner Operator. Most of them only deal with Brokers. The rising diesel prices and tolls are killing the Owner Operators in expenses to run a load. We should as drivers should benefit from any price hike in the industry. Carriers don't even get the 100% true fuel surcharge. Rise on fuel and tolls, Means their should be a rise on rates as well!!! Brokers don't own no equipment, or nor do they pay Cargo Insurance to insure the load. Lets make a change to make the business fair for all Owner operators and Carriers.

    I created a petition to send to The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate which says:

    "Stop the Freight Brokers greed put a cap on their rate percentage."

    Sign this petition in the Link below. Lets Make a change!!! So Owner Operators can make a fair living as well

    Confused.
    Isn't it part of the Owner Ops Job to Negotiate a rate?

    If the Govt controlled rates that would be a huge nightmare.
