    I swear to you 6-9 months ago I was constantly thinking there's has to be a smarter idea about brokering freight where money is going to the carrier, not the sleeze balls in the middle with their hand out.

    O for sure without a doubt when I started reading more about this I was like oh my God these guys will make a killing if they make this work because brokers are the problem of our industry. Uber freight seems to be like there in a little bit of trouble because they're doing too many projects. But this proloader yes somebody's doing the right stuff in Colorado They sound a 100% legit

    I think you guys are dreaming if you think this is going to mean more money to carriers. There's too many #### trucks out here and no barriers to entry in the business. Nothing is going to improve your rates except for a hot economy. If these people can cut a broker's average take from 10% down to 5% that savings will go to shippers. You're out of your minds if you think anyone at a brokerage is averaging 20-30%. That's not happening other than a one off load now and then. Add in loads they lose on and it evens out. This business is too competitive for fat margins. Too many trucks and too many brokers.

    Well obviously it is if you're getting $2 a mile on a freiggt lane and you look at DAT and that same lane is paying $2.5 56 what would you call it. That is 20%30% 40% brokers commissions. Everybody knows to cut the middle man out you make more money hello

    I'm saying is if the Internet freight broker can cut the middle man out I'm all about it. I mean really why do we need a broker with today's technology

    We work out of Dekalb IL all the time And I run reefers and vans. I can get $4 a mile coming out of Chicago that's not my point. What I'm saying is as in industry as a whole the brokers are making More money than we are. I like what these guys are talking about. The future is going to be Internet freight brokers word-of-mouth business is not going to happen anymore
