Under $2/mile loads with $6/gal diesel.

@blairandgretchen my argument isnt for limiting anyones earnings. Hell a broker can say 30% is my cut take it or leave it. That’s not what I’m saying at all.

my argument is a fair playing field. we get audited, why don’t brokers get audited? We all would benefit from a broker audit because one thing that will accomplish is push out the double brokers.

If that little process is introduced to brokers that right there helps big time. Wouldn’t you agree?

If the cheap freight has taken too much of a toll, you can sneak in your own bread and wipe up some of that delicious slime off those rollers. It’s almost like having the dog on the bun, but not really.

 

My relationship with my carrier is no different than a relationship with a broker. If I’m no longer happy then I will go someplace else. Same as when someone doesn’t like the rate and walks away. You’re acting someone hauls a load and then waits to see what it paid. The rate for the load is the rate that’s agreed on. That’s the business transaction with the broker. The broker’s transaction with the shipper is separate and it’s nobody’s business other than those two parties involved.

 

But if you’re losing money on one they have 10 more to make up for it.

 

I think the moral of the thread here is open deck is where the big money is at.

 

I need to get my truck ready soon then. And gosh darn-it I will need a trailer.

 

They have trailers.

You're the winner. I am the loser.

 

It's already been pointed out that the transparency being advocated for is written in law.

Since brokers have a de facto system of not disclosing that info voluntarily and refusing to do business with those who seek it after the fact, it seems some here are advocating for that info to be included in all offered brokerings at the time of advertisement.

How exactly does that work? Every broker load includes total amount and broker surcharge when posted?
