Posting For Good and Bad Brokers

Easy answer Sammy.........

It goes beyond Tolling, but just to let you know ANYTHING going over the Hudson gets billed in and out (You outta know that)
Next...It costs close to $200 to get in and out (if going onto Long Island)

Now...The 'extra' 250-300 is because most guys know what customers are paying.......If your Off by 250-300...I'd say quit gouging or find a better customer.

Sammy..A few examples of "freight" rates going into new York..(that goes to the truck)

Allentown to Brooklyn $775
Newark up to Bridgeport $700
Philly up out to the sound $820
Baltimore to Long island City $900

Quit Foolin' around with trucks or you wont be around very long. Just free advice my friend.

It's not just the tolls, I just really hate going further than the Bronx. I will do it, but you will pay me well to do it. Otherwise I'll keep to my easy nj freight where I can avoid most of the tolls and 95% less stressful.

Confessions of a Thief (Broker)

Failed broker here. Let me start by apologizing to each one of you drivers my brokerage stole from, treated like ####, inconvenienced and lied to. It wasn't me, it was him.

The largest brokerage within Network FOB is run by a guy named Brad Eldeen known as Brad Eldeen Logistics. I worked for him for 6 months in the worst workplace environment I'd ever encountered. It was predicated by theft and abusing truck drivers. That's Brad's model and he's good at it.

I'm an ex broker mainly because I struggled to steal effectively and treated drivers as human beings instead of the scum (he said) you are. I absolutely hated that job. It was immoral and legalized theft.

Your typical freight broker will go to great lengths to justify their existence, even as they lie to themselves. "You need me" they'll say. "I exist for a reason." It's all a lie. Freight brokers are leaches in modern society. I've seen it all from their side, received all the training...which legitimately includes methods to effectively manipulate carriers.

Brokers hate you the carrier. You represent something they can only partially control and they're robbing you of thousands at the same time.

I was well in the loop with Brad Eldeen. I got a look at his balance sheets at year end. Brad was netting anywhere near $600,000-$650,00 a year just in commissions from his loads. That's just him personally. Others he brought into the scam were pulling in the high nineties. Ridiculous amounts of money for being a middle man.

Brad came off as very charming over the phone, but the second he hung up, he was disparaging all truck drivers as stupid inbreds, barely worthy of carrying "his freight". His entire attitude towards carriers was disgusting, usually a mix of racism and his (unwarranted) sense of superiority over you pathetic truck drivers....who he always said were untrustworthy as a whole, but leaned on exclusively to get rich himself.

He looks down his nose at the very labor force that pays for his mansion and sends his kids to private school. Brad is a quintessential example of the 1% stealing from poor people, then kicking them while they're down to make sure they know their place. It was pure greed and I was involved in it. Sickening.

Sure, go look at Brad Eldeen Logistics from your end. Expensive freight, always pays on time, bonded and insured. Looks good right?

What you're doing when you take freight from a guy like Brad is undercutting the market and making less money available for your fellow drivers. As long as leaches continue earning thousands of dollars from your work, they'll keep doing so.

Say no to these ########. Inevitably a broker will chime in here saying they do things the right way and they're "honest". ########. You're a leech. You make money by stealing from truck drivers. Any twist you put on that is a pathetic attempt at self validation. You know you're unnecessary.

There will always be a market for guys like Brad Eldeen and Network FOB. He has a charming sales skill on the phone that goes over well with shippers. That charm, however, is actually a personality disorder, that allows him to con and manipulate people that aren't fellow sociopaths. It's not real. He hates your guts, but doesn't mind getting rich off your hard work. Total douchebag.

The one variable in his diabolical get rich scheme is supply. Small changes in the availability of carriers drastically effect Brad's ability to steal. Without you the hardworking carrier, Brad ceases to exist. Make it that way.

I'm no angel here. I have stolen from you. I've made money from truck drivers in a disingenuous way. For that I'm deeply ashamed. Please accept my apologies.

Know that at one point I did stand up for you and my human decency cost me a job. It was worth it.

Thank you Jeff for your honesty, hope you find an honest place to work for

I'm a proud broker, most truckers try their luck to see how much money they can suck from the broker for instance the majority of the freight I run is into Brooklyn so here is how it goes it costs $105 to come into Brooklyn why do you truckers always ask for $250-$300 for tolls???
Click to expand...

Because thats what it cost! Sir. Depending on where you're coming from..... You say $105 as if a helicopter dropped me off at the toll booth on the GW. It cost to get in and out.. Up and down the NJ turnpike.... If you don't know that, you need out of this industry.

Online Freight Logistics, OFL.

Last load I ever hauled for them was supposed to be in Birmingham,AL. Floor title. Got the confirmation and it was over 100 miles from there, lumber 2x4.
Picked it up and lost the load in Tennessee, 4 out of 12 bundles.
Never got paid for the delivery, and got a $500 ticket from it.

stayinback · Jul 23, 2016

lol..Be more specific here.

You picked up a load 100 miles away from where you apparently Booked it from??

Why did you travel 100 miles to get lumber instead of floor tile??

And what do you mean you "lost" the Load? It fell off the truck in transit?

Doesn't matter..Broker still has to pay your freight charge ....Was a claim filed?

Yes, it was supposed to be floor tiles in Birmingham, but was some other place 100 miles away. I had nothing else to go on, and it had a good rate.

Picked up 2x4 that fell off the truck, 4 bundles that was poorly banded. Fell off around I 24 Chattanooga TN around a 45 mph curve, I was going 40.

First load I ever lost, never got paid for it.
