Kind of. Actually yeah a mortgage broker is sort of doing the same thing if you put the lenders into the shipper spot and the carriers into the applicants position. The actual structure of how the game is played day to day probably isn't that similar though. I've never been a mortgage broker so I can't say. I did work with a broker who had been a mortgage broker. Slimy little fella. He managed to look well dressed while wearing suspenders... Can't trust a man like that. Anyone who puts that much effort into fashion has something to hide IMO.
Question for Brokers " What do brokers consider a fair rate per mile for freight?"

Brokers don't care about what a load pays per mile. They care about the gap between what the customer will pay and what the trucks will do it for. I've seen great freight that paid 1.50 a mile (for me) and terrible freight that paid 3.50 per mile on long miles (also for me).

I had one yesterday asking me what my typical rate per mile was with my dry van. I told her all over the place it just depends on what I can get. Really none of her business but sounded like she was trying to peg me at some arbitrary number. I hear you guys try to push cheap loads on the old "it's a good rate per mile" all the time.
