About original post article...
Looks like stacking the deck in your favor is a norm, after all. Free market talk is one big Horse Manure. So is predicting what this or that measure/regulation will do in the long term. Sometimes, it is better to find a quick fix than to overanalyze. This price fixing allegation in the article might have not been as easy, had there been rate transparency.
Therefore, whatever there is available to cumber the middleman, I'd vote for.
I look at brokers as medical leeches. Parasites but not quite. As a matter of fact, as long as you don't give them free reign, they are quite a necessary utility for small carriers and independents. The nature of the leech, however, must not be overseen.Dino soar, 650cat425 and LtlAnonymous Thank this. -

“Show us what yah got”.
Crap, we have nothing. lol
There is zero doubt brokers are taking far more money per load. However, with their load volume way down, I have no doubt they feel pressure to get more profit per load to keep their own bills paid. It’s not easy for anyone. Brokers are businesses too, not the boogey man that some think.
The situation sucks for everyone.Last edited: May 2, 2020

Factoring are medical leeches too. Pluck them ######## out when it is time. It won't hurt to have them in a jar.
