Transparency of Broker's Cut, Does It Exist?

Also I remember reading somewhere that you were concerned that your truck was on it’s last leg and you were afraid to make longer hauls. So while you brag about it being paid off, that’s not a big brag when you are afraid it’s about to lay down on you.

 

Show me what the personal attacks consisted of.
I told you to keep your mouth shut because you were talking not to the point.
You were insinuating that only those who hauled cheap might opt for transparency without giving it any justification. You are unable to part take in the discussion.
Your driving career has so much impressive meaning on me as the pee bottles I see left at the truck stop. So much I think of dignity of driving trucks for living.
Take your wisdom now and shove it up your arse.

 

I didn’t insinuate. I said it plainly. And you confirmed it.

 

Because I can easily use it for the next 100 000 miles and within 300-500 home radius while waiting for newer truck prices to stabilize or before overhaul or poping in another engine. If it breaks, I call a friend and he shows up with a bar in a few hours or at worst-case half a day. Going beyond 500 and spending more than two nights in a week is not necessary and too much to ask for a favor.
It is shrewd business decision to utilize the equipment to the fullest of its durability, especially that regional freight pays the same, if not better. At the same have a solid contingency plan.
And I enjoy sleeping at home evey other night, every weekend not at truck stops.

 

Whatever makes you feel better. You succeded in drawing my attention for another couple of hundreds of keystrokes. If that was your goal, congrats. Otherwise, I am done with you here.

 

This is what sums it up. A normal thinking brain person would see that and understand that it's business (B to B) not Business to consumer (B to C) and by comparing the same transaction of a consumer purchasing a car is ignorant.

From the Shipper (a Business) to the Broker (Business Middleman) to the Owner Operator/Carrier (Business).
Common sense at any I.Q. level must be presented. Therefore, when adding this, the Middleman can simply be deleted whiles most O/o's can find their own Shippers directly or broker their own freight. Point being, most O/o's who don't have time for that use the Brokers, and it creates business for those Brokers who either (a) have excessive freight they need to get out in a small time period putting it loads boards or (b) possibly new as a broker and need to find carriers for the Shippers freight. Nothing wrong with the Honest genuine Brokers who give fair rates for their business profit. However, transparency factors come into effect when a Broker using scam tactics on negotiating shipping the freight from a Shipper for $5000 keeps $4000 and puts its on a loadboard for $1000 or even $800.

A Crook is a Crook and crooks need to be exposed. Best analogy is when comparing a crooked broker to a crooked Carrier that promises to pay their Leased on O/o's 80% of a load but negotiates $5k from the Shipper, Broker etc. And pays the O/o 80% of $1k keeping $4200 instead of showing the lease on O/o the true rate they received from the rate con from the Shipper.

If people weren't corrupted or had major psychological issues that impedes them from understanding the factors involved. Then transparency wouldn't be needed however in a good majority of cases that isn't the way it is. Which is extremely unfortunate.

 

Thank you for bringing calmness into this thread.
This what is considered a normal inteligent reply, regardless of whether I like the content or not, which I evidently did.
A few paragraphs of well organized thought flow, not some half sentence dog like barks that have nothing else on purpose but to assume a condescending tone, wishing for a cheap applause.

 

This is comical
