Some negotiate some don't

..... issue with what youre saying is:

If someone chooses to tell me what they have in it, that isn’t something that’s relevant to the conversation to me. I’m gonna look at it as an anchor point, not a fact of the matter. Also, I don’t give a #### what they have in it. As a carrier I’m looking for my rate, if a broker or a shipper loses money on it, that’s not my problem. I run my business & they run there’s, It’s not their problem if I lose money, and it’s not my problem if they do.

 

No offense, sir, it's just business.

All this stuff about never talking to this or that person because they did or didn't like a rate or quote, is ridiculous.

 

I guess if you ever call me for a truck to NYC, it'll be the last time we speak lol. Market is whatever that load will move for now, and that goes both ways - of course I don't like it when it's not in my favor, but I've never decided to burn a bridge because of it.

 

But also some masterbate some don't. LOL

 

I guess that could have explained a couple of phone calls I've had?

 

The way I look at it is generally from @Ruthless's perspective. Neither party is really concerned with whether or not the other is making money, so long as they get what they're trying to make on the load. Besides, even if I told you what I had in it, as a broker, are you guys gonna believe me? Am I gonna believe you when you say you "need" x amount? If we both agree on a number, then that's the number that counts. Everything else, at least in terms of the business relationship for this load, is inconsequential.

 

I'd believe you because I'm not a democrat.

 

I find your response amusing considering just how many posts are in this forum with drivers demanding to know what brokers have in load. Even went to whitehouse and demanded Brokers give this information out.
