    If you guys haven't figured it out yet.....

    Brokers have "Confidence"......Their Motto is "We really dont need you"

    And their right.......YOU ARE NOT NEEDED.....Its sad, But True.

    Even if it takes a day or 3 to move a load at THEIR rate....Its a winner for them.

    Yes,Their are times you can gouge them...But Normally, If your rate isnt close to their mindset of profit, They'll pass you up like a 2 dollar #####.



    Supply and Demand, Business 101,Every excuse in the book from Brokers just so they can look out for themselves...

    You can Blame your Fellow Drivers/Carriers for a Flooded Market of subpar Freight.



    Until all you drivers/carriers quit fighting amongst each other to secure business....Brokers/Shippers/Buyers are all laughing to the Bank on YOUR hard work.

    See...All you Smart @sses out there that thought De-Regulation Was a good thing...Are Now Wishing to God it never happened.

    I get the same load sheets as the brokers do each morning. For the most of them but not all of the I see the brokers making $200 $300 $400 on each shipment booked. 10 booked loads each day =$2000 $3000 $4000. Just 10 booked loads.

    You get the same load sheets as the brokers? You know something that we don't? You mind sharing that information?
