<p>[QUOTE=&quot;m16ty, post: 12169237, member: 176605&quot;]I&#039;ve been a long time member of TTR but I think this is the first time I&#039;ve ventured into the broker&#039;s forum. What brought me here is the major issues I&#039;ve been having brokers lately. These issues have been ongoing since I&#039;ve been in the business (since 1992), but it has gotten much worse lately.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see, our main business is machinery moving. Lots of our day to day operations is loading and unloading trucks at customer&#039;s location with men and heavy machinery. I say all this because brokers don&#039;t seem to understand the time and cost involved in dealing with these loads on both ends. The main issues are trucks not showing up when scheduled, and when they do show up it is a driver that often isn&#039;t dressed properly do be in an industrial construction site and can&#039;t speak or comprehend English.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think brokers understand that it can cost us $1,000 an hour or more for all the men and equipment to sit around waiting on a truck to show up. I&#039;ve had 3 no-shows this week. It&#039;s always some excuse that the truck is broke down or whatnot. I&#039;m know that breakdowns are unavoidable sometimes, but if trucks broke down as much as brokers claim, the shoulders of the highways across the US would be littered with broken trucks. I just don&#039;t understand the process of quoting a load for a low price and a agreed to pickup time, and then try to find a truck to take the load. And then if you can&#039;t find a truck for your rate, start lying about what is really going on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
