Shipper relationship with Brokers

Big money wants deep cuts in shipping.
I've had a few shippers say they don't deal with anything less than 10 truck operations.
There looking for a bottom dollar bulk package deal trucking contract

 

Where are you getting this info from?

You don't get how it works do ya?

 

You need to find shippers that produce a small amount of goods or special products. Forget saw mills, shingles, or any other mass production of bulk materials. They get the mega company's 44 cents per mile to haul those products.

 

We haul empty soda-beer cans. So far not a single carrier has a contract with the shipper. The broker we use gets 8-12 loads a day out of the place. Pays 1500 on 325mi if your gonna be dedicated to head right back and grab another. Pays 1200 if you wanna find freight coming back but good luck with that in the Boston metro area.

Between the 2 trucks my dad has they give us a load a day 7 days a week. No eld's for us so I can make it look right.

But all good things must come to an end. NFI is starting to get their grimy fingers in the mix. Were already making plans for when that day comes

 

Its mostly O/O servicing the new England area. Live load/unload with a 650 mi round trip a mega governed at 62 can't do that

 

Why don't you disclose what you are really tying to do instead of this hit and miss questioning.
