Why would a shipper give a % of their money to a broker to move their freight when the shipper could just post directly on the loadboard thus cutting out the broker?
Shippers don't need brokers?

Because that would make too much gosh darn sense...
Brokers, they are the epitome of "Middle Man". -

I have had some shippers tell me that they don't want to deal with all the phone calls and paperwork to get so many carriers set up. Basically, they are told me that their people are too lazy to do the job.

They hire a broker for the same reason you hire a CPA to do your taxes... it's not a matter of laziness, it's a matter of wanting to concentrate on your core business. And NOT deal with a major hassle that can be better dealt with by someone who specializes in it.
