Posting For Good and Bad Brokers

After reading approximately 10 pages of this thread, I am getting very nervous about (re) entering the field with a Ram 3500 for hot shot work. I drove OTR, irregular route big truck for 20 years finishing up in 2001 and going into the offshore drilling industry as a merchant mariner. I'd like to try to come back out on a part-time basis after applying for an MC and DOT number but holy cow, this is really bad news!

It's not as bad as it sounds Ralph. The Internet Truckstop is $35 a month and an extra $35 for credit check. Don't haul for anyone that does not have an "A" rating. Also, sign up with D&S Factoring. You don't have to use them but it gives you access to their credit check which is the ultimate. I've never been stiffed. I know many others that have and when I check they just plain screwed up by not paying for the credit check.

 

Transplace broker sucks
They dont have guts even shipper/receiver not answering there phone calls and emails that why its taking so long to load (25 hours) and unload(7 hours) , get some standard in market like C.H robinson n all good brokers so that wen u mad at shipper n reciver there ### sweat good

 

No ones going to post a good broker because drivers are paranoid greedy scumbags please rename this thread to let's whine about brokers

 

DCT Brokerage, Scottsdale AZ, They are part of Roadrunner Transportation of Cudahy, WI.
Hauled a load for them Fort Worth Tx to Harahan,LA. At tthe shipper they needed pallet exchange. I dont carry pallets. They needed $149.16 for the pallets. DCT disp said they would reimburse me if i paid for them. They were going to charge me $25 for a comcheck..... So i paid them and when i received the settlement, it was short $29.16. They said they only reimburse up to $120.00. Why wasn't i told this when the i called in with the amount of $ for the pallets? I would of dropped the load right then and there.

 

It's hard to be serious about any trucking broker, If you have a working relationship, my hat off to ya. If not, I suggest you pick a loadboard like DAT with a good record and deal with brokers usung provided tools.Much research required. No quick choices please

 

Paranoid Greedy Scumbags??? Hey bro! How much you got invested? Laptop and some bookmarks? Big man huh? You know the ropes? Seasonal overload? Permits and demand. ???Without Drivers, your business doesnt exist. You better watch your words. Brother.!

 

Triple Star logistics out of Toronto are the worst they cry like school girls if you cancel on them they actually just about go into tears and then want to rat you out to the world like little #####es

 

Never had a problem with Triple Star at all, and we have cancelled on them, seems like there should be more to the story here...who was your contact there?

 

I'd love to know who the idiots are that haul this complete garbage freight from Arrowhead trans. and are ruining the industry for the rest of us.
Probably another Freightliner that's falling apart with a broken stack, busted fenders and lots of bungee straps holding the thing together.
