There shouldnt be many circumstances beyond your control. The fact remains, you want money for waitnig but dont want to pay up for being late or us doing etra work to accomodate you. And it goes both ways bud, your "innovative" ways to charge back $500 to a custy? You say that sales is trying to reinvent your wheel and "expertise" what are you doing trying to tell brokers how do run their business in their expertise? Again it seems like you want things to go 2 ways, each benefitting your siude.

Not true. Once you book a load you still need to service it. And yes we make X. There is also an equation for what a carrier makes. NUmber of days factors in. I dont know how your brokerage is run, but we see loads from booking to payout. And of course we are partners with carriers. I have many carriers i am partners with, they do me solids and take loads for less than they should, I repay them by throwing them extra scratch on loads that have room. -
This is why I say you win some you loose some.
If you think trucks are just raking in money then perhaps you should buy some of your own. Make sure you get nice equipment in order to look good to your customers.5150 jack and RedForeman Thank this. -

bookingyou, if a carrier is late, you have every right to dock the rate, with the lone exception to this being the shower taking so long to load the truck that its not reasonably possible to arrive on time at the delivery point. I expected every rate confirmation to have both detention and late arrivals fines, clearly defined. or, if it's a broker I've got an established working relationship with, a verbal gentleman's agreement is fine. as far as stops being removed, Ofcourse you want a rate reduction. I'd have no issue with that, just as I'd expect you to have no issue with me expecting the rate to go up if stops are added. as far as a rate reduction for getting a load delivered early, that is really going to be on a case by case basis, 98 percent of the time I've already got my next load booked so it's not going to affect me by getting it unloaded early. but in a hypothetical example of getting unloaded earlier, allowing me to reload earlier, I would be willing to negotiate a reduction in rate.
BookingYou19 Thanks this. -
And yes you need to service the load start to finish,but you seem to think that any additional profit the carrier should"share"with you.gokiddogo Thanks this. -

Not at all, I dont think I should share in their profit. But if they have to do extra work, they are reimbursed, if I do extra work, it should go to the carrier? Doesnt make sense.
