Share what you know about dealing with brokers

I would've liked somea couple days ago

 

How many miles was the run?

 

THANK YOU! People need to realize they only hurt themselves when they do that. How long do you think it will take before that shipper will find someone who will do it for $3.50?

 

Why is it UTI has a load here in Laredo for $2200 and Landstar has the same load for $1500?

 

I've called on some landstar Reefer loads. They were worse than CH!!! Maybe I just had bad luck. Then again I do pull a 48. I try thats all I can say.

 

I think some landstar brokers take more than what they should

 

Absolutely they do, just like some other company's brokers do. It's not the Landstar disease...it's a disease of greed.

 

Landstar is probably getting the load form UTI and UTI got it from TMC which
is a CHR affiliate or a freight fowarder and this changes daily.
This is why a back solicitaion clause is useless now days in broker contracts, how can you even prove who and where contact originated?
Myself I refrain from back soliciting cause any shipper that would do that will do the same to you.
