How can we find out who under cut us on a load from Lakewood NJ to Spartanburg SC today 11/01/2012 . One of my owner operator booked a load with Freight Quote couple of days ago and today it was cancelled. How can I find out who picked up the load and how much. My owner operator was working for less than $1.28 but thats not the issue. The issue is that the load was booked two days ago and then it was refused and may have been given to some one else. Are there any ethical rules about holding the O/O for a day and a half and then cancelling the load??? What would you do in this situation.

Why would you assume it was undercut, and not assume the massive amounts of flooding in the area caused some problems?

Because undercutting occurs all the time?

Invoice them for TONU and move on. If they're habitual about it, don't use them anymore. Oh... $1.28!?

Avoid the broker and go straight to shippers and give them a good presentation and quality service, set down with them and do business.

You're working the "spot market" so knowing the truck to load ratio is imperative. A 4:1 load to truck ratio is HUGE and give you alot of leverage. A 4.3:1 ratio is less than 10% larger so rates shouldn't have made a substantial downward move.
If you are running a specific lane or region you should be trying to get aligned with shippers/receivers as opposed to working with brokers all the time. Yeah, it takes some time and effort but in the long run getting an account is extremely motivating to an individual!VisionLogistics Thanks this.
