<p>[QUOTE="G/MAN, post: 2302769, member: 48687"]Noone will hold a gun to your head and force you to do business with any broker. If the load is too cheap and they won't come up on the rate, then find another broker or shipper. There is nothing wrong with finding your own shippers. Brokers don't always have a lock on shipper accounts. If you use brokers then you need to understand that they provide a service to you and are entitled to make a profit off of any freight they book. They make the calls on shippers and then find trucks to haul the freight. You can cut them out and only haul your own freight, but it is very difficult to only haul your own freight. Nearly ALL the major carriers haul at least some brokered freight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
