He forgot to add his job is also getting the freight moved as cheap as possible to maximum profit brokers are not your friends
Do you think that there aren’t brokers and carriers that work together in mutually beneficial relationships?
Hahahahhahaahahhs this is like asking if men and women can be friends without s3x
FMCA needs to pass law that they're only allowed to keep 10%. The rest goes to the truckers.
How would that help?
@Freight360 Are you serious? You don't think a trucker getting ninety percent of the load pay would help? Brokers are crooked, especially when they double broker a load, and both of them are taking 25% off the top, which the trucker ends up with only fifty percent of the load pay. Double broking needs to end too.
The day will come when Freight brokers will pay for Stealing from Owner Operators!!!
Let God take care of them 🙏
How are brokers stealing from O/O’s?
Freightlner brokers are not needed . Drivers do , we can ask for what we need by our self
😄👍Good Stuff, Great Tips
Thanks for joining us!
I'll be glad when all of you are out of business!!
You rip us drivers off all the time taking 30 to 40% of each load. Will be glad when they finally pass the law to close you guys down
Which law are you referring to?
I can't believe there is not alot off comments from truck drivers/ companies saying that the brokers are keeping the money from the load confirmation
What do you mean by that? Refusing to pay carriers for work performed?
@@Freight360 issues like that plus the brokers that are not willing to pay what the driver/ company needs to run the load and make a little profit
Why waste our time saying something that is widely known by all!
Brokers don’t control the market rates. It’s the supply of freight vs the number of carriers in the market. Thousands of carriers came into the market during the pandemic. The more carriers the less shippers are going to pay. Same thing happens every transportation market cycle (16 -18 months on average)
@@Freight360hahahah them show on thr rate cons what u are getting paid by the customer
This guy answers questions with questions he is given u guys the 1980's Duh which changed in the 1990's too the banana in the tailpipe trick & today he is confusing said lol & Happy Trails
The part the broker hasn't mentioned for YEARS now....probably possibly maybe..the most important part..the actual rate paid by the shipper🤭. The rest is easy to do.
🤔
The job is how much less you can pay the trucker.
If you want to make the money the trucker is making perhaps you should drive a truck and not steal it from the trucker.
Have you ever worked with a broker and were happy about the work and the rate?
Brokers always screw the carriers
Always? 🤔
Brokers do not communicate properly. Drivers get the shit end of a stick and the source is the brokers who “in theory” are the facilitators and they blame it on the companies. I’m a driver/owner operator for 27 beautiful years and since “Covid” …..brokers are shamelessly just not honest. Too many brokers taking and they are not even in the US……exhausting!! 😮
Does this ever happen with the shippers you work with directly?
@@Freight360 no it does not. I’m at a shipper now and he came out to give me the bills directly and asked if I was coming back to pick up the next one and my dispatcher can’t get a hold of anyone.
@@Freight360 I deal with the shippers all the time and they love talking to me because they don’t know what the brokers are telling my company. At my company, we are close so I know everything that is going on.
@@MotherTrucker1 If you continue having this many issues with the broker, why are you continuing to work with them? Why not develop more direct shippers as customers?
@@Freight360 because brokers have made contracts with the shippers to tie them into their services and have a hard time getting out of their contracts.
Hey broker you forget you work for the o/o and mom and pop companies? Did you for get who you really work for? Big companies like swift and them don't need brokers while you're stealing from the hard eorkers that have everything to lose while you sit at a drsk telling your lies... communication hahaha you mean lies...😂😂😂😂
