I know...I know...
Some people would say a freight broker should NOT make 40% on a load....
Freight brokers are cheating truckers...

As a 20 year truck driver it ain't no way in hell I would have took that load
Brokers are greedy.
Less than a dollar a mile that's disrespect
actually it's called LTL...Paying for space my friend...5 pallets....
How do you feel knowing its only 5 pallets?
@@elliotrichardson4792 The driver didn't have to do it, there wasn't a gun to his head. 5 pallets just means less wear and tear on his truck and less fuel burned with profit made on a back haul most likely
I disagree you just took advantage of a driver that doesn't know no better.. I get it you have to make also but remember we're out there doing the real work we have to pump fuel pay insurance wear and tear on the truck plus home expenses. So you straight from advantage of that truck driver I really wish God helps you with your Conscious... you don't hand a heart dude that load would've really helped a driver out to put money a side for a breakdown but hey your right that's your job to take advantage of drivers... God bless keep up the bad work.
Don't blame the broker. I'd like to find the genius that took that load (if he's still in business) and book a few loads for him .🤑
That's ridiculous. 2000 for the truck driver. He's has to pay for the fuel he has to pay the driver maintenance on the truck. Insurance truck and trailer payment. Not including the driver is the one putting in all the hours to load unload and the hours he drives and this broker is making as much as the carrier. He definitely is taking advantage
Yes and no. Given the number of pallets and weight of the load, the driver could book another partial load on that route, especially since he had a week to deliver.
And you wonder why your industry is going broke? Now you know.youre robbing the shippers..
@@Gzillafication WHAT HE DID WAS UNDERBID AND THE CARRIER WHO TOOK THAT LOAD DIDNT KNOW ANY BETTER. WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD TAKE A LOAD FOR $2000 TRAVELING $2282 MILES. WHAT PROFIT HAS THE CARRIER MADE? EITHER THE BROKER UNDERBID OR HE HAS GOTTEN MORE THAT WHAT HE'S SAYING.
@@robertcummings7271 It being LTL or not, the carrier is still babysitting this load for a week. Just absurd.
Lmao do you know how expensive it is runt an efficient broker business. That money covers costs when there are accidents or if the container is kidnapped and held hostage. I understand your anger but there is so much your not seeing cost and responsibility that goes into millions of liability
Brandon, your channel is an inspiration to everyone and anyone new to this business. I subscribed and hit the like button on your channel. I fully support you as a former carrier and broker. I am now a Criminal Justice scholar and forensic psychologist, but I still love this industry and this business in particular. Much continued success to you, brother.
Hauling a load below your CPM, is just plain stupid and it's a matter of time before you're out of business.
That must be dry van loads? I move containers here in Savannah Georgia and hell I get $2300 to go to north Georgia… & $1150 to Jacksonville
All I need now is talking to people. I hate calling brokers now I’ll be getting called by carriers. Ty for your info
thank you for commenting!
Great Video!! Thanks
thanks Les!!
So you teaching brokers how to cheat the carrier
Exactly 💯
Bingo
@@okthenb4604 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

"Yeah ill take that shitty load for hardly any pay, i already made enought this trip"
- no one. Ever.
choice is a beautiful option!
I would've made $1,240 on this load because my factoring charges 10% of the load. He calls it a 90% 'advance rate'
I think you have to understand how it works for a Carrier brother ... this particular load is Just garbage .. even for 3600 Just saying ... if this numbers are truth shipper should get their own trucks and deal with all of their loads to see where they gonna end up ... 100% failure
I bid a load for $2700 on a 870 mile dry van load and the broker immediately came back with $2600. Im new to this and after bidding, I realized this load would be almost impossible to deliver legally with the HOS. Plus it was at a grocery whse, which means I would likely be at receiver all day. Do you think I under bid?
Lol
lol, yep, especially going to a grocery wharehouse
Always aim high!!! Specially when they want an asap delivery ... Trust me the money is there..
That about $3.10 a mile. I try not to take anything under $3 per mile. Shoot high and let them talk you to a price you’re comfortable with. So shoot for $5 a mile next time. My 2 cents.
Thank you Brandon for charging your expertise!!!
$1 per mile someone move the load ?
Get a job at swift and problem solve.
Rule number 1 as a carrier never let a broker know you are trying to get back home.
explain please
That rule number #0
If the broker knows you are trying to get back home, they will lowball you and give you a bad deal because he/she knows they have leverage (you wanting to be home)
True
They know were you live by your mc#
I’m not running for fuel wether out running or going home, can’t feed my family running for fuel, truckers carry the most expense’s. I have seen brokers keeping 50%. It don’t matter how good I made going out, The next load has no barring on any load after the first, brokers need to get real on paying the truck.
I THINK FMCSA NEED TO CUT THE BROKERS OUT. THEY BE SCAMMING
@@robertcummings7271 or at least pass a law where they can not take no more than a 10/15% or less. And ever broker is required to include there rate conformation with your rate conformation.
@@franksgump5 y no back hauls and what about Tri-hauls
We need to push for legislation that limits the percentage brokers can make each load.
@@robertcummings7271 we need to push for legislation to limit the percentage amount broker can make on each load.
Let’s say the owner operator gets 7.5 mpg
$2000/ 2282 miles. 7.5 mpg at $5 per gallon(if not more). Comes out to $1,525 just in fuel 😂😂😂 and he’s complaining that he has to pay $180 in factoring!!!
He is a straight up crook and the perfect example of the crooked brokers out there.
FACTS
Say No To Cheap Frieght Period! Not one time you include the fuel cost to move those miles. $3+ a gallon.
oh ok...
Exactly but the problem is that truckers out there are idiots they will take any load at any price
Yeah he lost big time on this load. Im doing $2000 on 500 miles.
@@brandonthefreightbroker 🤣🤣😂
Well…it’s double now and freight rates are ridiculously low and stupid carriers are running for cheap or for free..just to keep that junk truck alive….this is how stupid they are.
I like brokers like these. I would book the load cancel it after I get all the shippers info and go behind his back and book it directly.
I get these all the time
says a lot about you imo.
@@brandonthefreightbroker yea? just listening to what you are teaching other people to do also says a lot about you.
Problems you can run into, however, is that often times you have to haul that load to get to know the shipper. And usually, if you read the rate confirmation carefully, there is a clause much like an NDA. It's a non compete clause that says you can not haul for that shipper for "X" amount of time. You might get away with it for a while but eventually a broker will sue for breach of contract and now your in a whole new field of weeds.
Truckers edge pro worth every penny 15 30 day average rates and have your own mc "all the hard leg work"🤣🤣🤣🤮
@@johnmaxwell1356 most non come pets hold very little weight in court and judges have ruled against them many times.
How do you not feel like a real piece of shit knowing you take advantage of drivers that are out on the road sacrificing time away from their families to support their loved ones. You aren’t dealing with being stuck is bumper to bumper traffic… driving in bad weather.. breakdowns.. terrible drivers.. paying for your own fuel and all the other expenses that come with owning your own T truck and authority. You say you don’t take that much on every load but you aren’t talking into consideration that you can book book load with carriers a lot more frequently then a driver can book a load. We book a load and we are on that same load for 1-4 days depending.. but you on the other hand can do about 20 or more a day and don’t see anything wrong with how much you keep for yourself on 1 single load. Why isn’t 10-15% enough for you when you literally can decide how many loads you book each day? It’s because you don’t value the work we do and the sacrifices we make. People like you are what’s wrong with the trucking industry but you are too greedy to see that.
It's sad that carriers are going 2000 miles for 2 grand 🤦🏿 pretty much half of that is fuel.
thanks for sharing! peace and prosperity!
Very few carriers would do that
He will never show u on broker app with him bidding on load to pass to carrier
I will never touch it.
@@brandonthefreightbroker after watching a few videos and checking out some comments one thing I can definitely say. I salute you on your responses. Even after some pretty heated comments you never engage or augment the heat.
I originally came here to learn why brokers are getting so much of the money. At least now I understand more of what you do so. Thanks for sharing info B. 😉👍🏽
The leg work is the hard part?🤔 From the $2000 how much is the carrier net profits? Don’t make it seem that you’re having a lot of expenses.. It’s not hard work to coordinate.. Brokers should be capped at 15%
That’s the reason I became the broker and the carrier “truck driver” I do a lot a work but it’s worth it I get 100% I use to be leased on to a carrier but one day I got tired of the carrier taking 15% then I got my authority. Then I got tired of the broker getting half of the load while being home every day I said to myself screw this I did research and got my broker license and eliminated the middle man while at the beginning I struggled to find costumers but it’s not hard and getting all those permits to be your own real boss now it’s not costly it’s a scam to be leased on to a carrier when you have all your equipment push for your authority and broker license if you want to see real money don’t let the broker take your money you could be making 100% specially with fuel up the roof you need that extra cash
Smart guy.
Thanks for the motivation!😉
Not a scam at all it’s actually smarter to lease on I was about to get my own authority then I found a company paying 88% and I can use any board I want my friend has his own authority and we compared numbers. We got our trucks from the same place so our truck payments are very similar. He pays 650 wkly for a trailer I’ll pay 250. He pays 3k a month for insurance. The carrier I’m leasing on to 5% of their 15% take covers insurance I just have to have my own Bobtail insurance and Liability insurance which is only 1k a month. We both get paid as soon as we drop loads. I don’t have to pay for factoring he does. Once we compared everything yes he makes more up front but he also has to spend more so in the end I actually make more than him 🤓
@PiscesTV 🐬🐠 3k a month? He's getting robbed. I have my authority and pay $650 a month. 1 truck 3 trailers. $250 a week for a rented trailer is alot of money. We'll maybe not with this market lol
I’m thinking the same thing. Tired of getting chumped out. At least I know I’m not the only one that’s tired of the middle man d¡ckin me around.
How did you get the $1.54/mile charge for the Shipper in this case? And in general, how do you determine $/mile? What factors go into that equation?
I have a trucking company now for 17 years. I now have a partner and we also have a broker MC. Brokers that take 40% can go to hell. Greed will catch up to you and you will deserve everything you get. 92% should go to the driver period. SHAME ON YOU
if you get your own freight...you should get whatever you want...if I put the hard work in and get the freight... if it pays regular rate plus 25% due to MY negotiation ...I would take the 25% without any shame whatsoever..and that is obviously a difference between you and i....
Thanks for telling the truth
i agree
@@brandonthefreightbroker you sir are and example of what is wrong with this bussiness
i agree
We need mandated broker-shipper-carrier transparency. The carrier should be made fully aware of the deals that the brokers make and receive a negotiable percentage of that deal.
Stop it you socialist, Marxist, communist.
I know this is an older video but I still want to comment. I’ve been on the other side as a carrier. If the driver is happy with the rate offered, you should be happy with the increased profit margin. It’s not personal, it’s business. As an owner operator, I know my operating costs. So if the $2000 isn’t enough, I’ll negotiate for more money or simply pass on the load.
as someone who has dispatched a family carrier, parts of this are infuriating.
Keep in mind this is an LTL, trailers can hold 26-30 pallets. this CAN still make a lot of money for the carrier even at this rate for all pallets.
I am also accustomed to the canadian market where ass hats like TQL and traffic tech do this for every load. (3000 miles at 1.21 USD for TL)
I am forcing myself to believe there MUST be a middle ground and stealing from a carrier on select freight.
Cant stand TQL ALSO
You are ripping people off. There is no way I'm moving freight that far for that rate. This broker is a crook just like alot of brokers out here. Why would anyone deal with you is beyond me.
Why yall use zip codes tgats for movers they use zip to zip actually freight shoukd be paid by address to address unless the drivers agrees to zip to zip n thats where alot of drivers get upset with brokers... me as a driver I hate that zip to zip because some cities are big n u still have to factor in fuel money spent to get to a address bottle 🤫
As he stated - whatever he can get the load moved for, then there’s double brokering then there’s Amazon, then there’s contract freight! If you are not happy where you are or with what you are doing, then stop making the same decisions. I think that’s what we call insanity. I do love the brokers that tell you up front / I take 10-15% and here is the original rate con! Excuse my French but there’s slow truckers, brokers, agents and dispatchers in all aspects of life!
thanks for sharing Crossroads!!! peace and prosperity!
@@brandonthefreightbroker see if you can find an email dated 2/23/18 - I’m sure I’ll be calling you soon! Sometimes the best relationships start off rocky!
This man has said some things in this video that you owner operators should be taking note of......and that's brokers are not running for broke and neither should you ,so do the math on a load and let them know what you would run it for not the other way around.....remember it's your business that your running.....just like any business if you ain't making enough money coming into your company your gonna have to close your doors......it's business owner operators!!!!!
Rule number 2 brokers can not make no more then 15% on any load
lol i live on the road 365 days.... as ive said, my rig is paid off .... i'll just sit for weeks
That carrier was a fool. They paid 1500 for fuel and 1000 to the driver at .45cpm. You made 1300 and didn't have to spend that on anything. That's why trucking companies can't make it. When do you think you'll run out of carriers to rip off?
BROKERS SHOULD BE OUT OFF DRIVER BUSINESS
Only do 15% on each load and pay the rest also showing papers to the dispatcher of how much the shipper paid you for it. Please change the trucking industry because you don’t get to buy tires and fuel brakes oil changes and truck washes 2 insurances trailer rental 13% to the leasing company and tools scales to know the weight on each axle truck washes IFTA eld Oregon miles sometimes parking space and parking at truck stops if you don’t have a shower credit that is 12$ and 30dllrs of more of food and drinks every day. You don’t need the 40% you need to stop. I forgot tolls and parts, mechanics or breakdowns and also the 34 hour reset far from your home is time not making any
I am starting my freight broker business soon and I want to charge no more than 12.5% when I start but once I have the capital and money to not need a factoring company i want to stick between 5%-10% tops.
Who ever did your load did it for 90 cents eventually is going out bussines
Maybe not...he loaded 5 pallets and could have sold the additional space to another shipper or broker....when you're moving LTL freight you pay for space....
It was his choice to haul the load..... business is business.
Yep
If that truck didn’t put more freight on that truck he’s definitely going out of business very soon.
Not eventually. Very soon. I have to make close to 3/mile minimum.
I'm an flatbed owner op and usually flatbed rates are high I don't move anything for less than $4 per mile specially right now with these diesel prices if carriers stopped taking cheap freigh maybe the brokers wouldn't try to take advantage of us cause those guys are crooked and not needed tbh most of the loads I run are Shipper to Carrier only loads. Shippers are starting to realize that "Brokers" are not needed and that they rob both the shipper and the carrier with those ridiculous prices they charge to "move" their freight.
AND THIS IS WHY THE RATE ON THE RUNS ARE SO LOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE CARRIERS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE LOADS AND ITS EVEN MORE SAD FOR THE ONES WHO HAVE THEIR OWN AUTHORITY
Brokers know they are screwing carriers lets cut out the BS
do they? do carriers know?
You guys are absolute crooks man. Y’all should make 15% MAX on the load. We have the most dangerous job and y’all pray on it. Guys in trucking TALK TO THE COSTUMER! cut out the middle man when they are hustling you.
call it what you like...your choice...if truckers don't like brokers just don't use them...get your own freight....
Way to cheat the drivers! What ever goes around comes around!
😀😀 I understand....it goes and comes around everyday....peace and prosperity!!
Keep digging your home with these videos. I hope the government is watching and starts paying you 10% you should get. Not 100%. Why should you earn hitting keyboards as much as a driver that has to pay for diesel maintenance on truck food drinks tires oil changes brakes etc etc. Brw diesel is 6 a gallon and oil changes are 450 bucks. You worms.
Hope....I don't do business based on hope...I earn what I earn based on negotiation.
Who tf takes 1$ per mile load ? 2000$ for 2280 miles wow
Truckers getting ripped off in a major way.
THATS A HORRIBLE RATE FOR A DRIVER
no sir...you can't speak for ALL truck drivers...it may be a horrible rate for you....
@@brandonthefreightbroker u r right because everyone is not operating with the same level of intelligence we r not all intellectually equal some still believe in turn the other cheek some believe up is down and down is up they don’t understand the games being played on them in this capitalist system it’s all about the rich remaining rich and powerful and in control to make sure nothing changes the wealth gap will remain the same as long as this system is in place
everybody doesn't operate with the same level of intelligence...wooah really??? that's groundbreaking..😃😃😃
@@brandonthefreightbroker THATS A HORRIBLE RATE FOR A DRIVER.
YOU'RE MAKING YOUR MONEY MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY EVERY DAY YOU WORK.. THAT DRIVER ONLY MADE WHAT YOU THINK THE DRIVER DESIRES.
No owner operator is gonna haul that for $1.54 mile. I don’t haul for less than $3 and with fuel being over $4 a gallon you need to be getting closer to $4 a mile . Ripping off truckdrivers
sure they will...You're just talking about you and what you won't do...these loads have already been moved...every load does not work for every carrier but it works for some carriers....
Man this is why yall need to stop taking cheap loads.....do the math before taking any loads......stop robbing yourselves.......
Then show where, you went negative, or broke even. Proof.
I don’t know this guy but what he says is crazy and it should let truckers know what and how most brokers think but the world needs trucks not brokers you can move freight with out brokers but not trucks so why would the broker make more common wise up truckers
I've been hearing this story for a looong time but obviously truckers don't think they can move freight without brokers...why? because they use brokers.
It was better back in the 80s before brokers. It was shipper to driver and no brokers.
if it was better...why did they start using freight brokers?
No carrier is going to take that load for $1.14 cent a mile period, you will have a load that can't be moved.
2200 miles $2000, you gotta be joking lol
Friend great work, you can improve your sound quality by using couple of sound panels/foams will reduce your echo.
I see why so many small truck companies went out of buisness and alot truck drivers quit and also mega carriers than buy the companies out and end up taking these contracts. I honestly can't see how with this type of buisness dealing you will be in buisness for long who ever takes this load will be in the negative for sure. You make more as new driver working for a mega carrier. If you understand the cost, risk, and sacrifice the driver makes you realize how bad the load is but oh well. If your is to use this to go into another business venture like real-estate than it make more sense because the people running these loads won't last and when you can find drivers you will lose those contracts to mega carriers and as a guy who works with a mega carrier I see it all time with them buying out smaller companies and constantly get new contracts.
Paying that kind of pay is just plain stupid. I know you need to make money but don't do it at the expense of the truck. Remember we have a lot more expense than you do, and then you make us wait 30 or 45 days to get paid orpay to get it sooner, so don't give this bs, we have more skin in this game. Do some more home work and explain the whole game.
no sir...You're speaking for you and your truck....if it doesn't work for you...keep it moving...you don't get to decide for another trucking company...
There are many shippers out there that do not want to share a trailer with somebody else's load.
and then they can pay for a dedicated truck....
@@brandonthefreightbroker 😄
Bullsh**.Yall steal from truck
We All know at the end of the day business is business and nothing is personal but we need to eliminate brokers. For instance the driver took the load for 2000$ and paid nearly 1000$ for fuel and tolls includes and other miscellaneous expenses so less than 900$ in a week while the broker Carries on with his day. Not his fault not brokers fault just shows how greedy you are.
You got it wrong brother we want to get paid good on backhauls as well
This is exactly why I gave up on being an on operator for 10yr and I’m a freightBroker now.. /that driver should of walk away with 25-2800 yeah, you might’ve got the load, but you wouldn’t have got paid until the driver picked it up.. being a Broker we need the truck drivers more than they needus.
The difference between a broker and a carrier:
A broker doesn’t have to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a truck and a simple box or a broker doesn’t have too live their beloved ones at home snd and their life and start paying over $6 per gallon no matter what….a broker doesn’t go arrested or doesn’t go in jail or doesn’t go shut in parking lot or sometimes even while driving….a broker doesn’t get stuck 3-4-7 days someplace without any comfort or even income in many cases….I could keep writing a book in this regard.
Worst business a human could get into….truck driver owner operator.
Even driving for WalMart is much better…they offer $100.000 plus benefits.
Bottom line the man said it at the beginning of the video KNOW YOUR DAMN NUMBER that goes for the shipper broker and trucker everyone is trying to make money the main catalyst of truckers complaing from my conversations with owner ops is due to lack of good money habits and lack of hustle alot of truckers are soft don't want to drive want to go home everyday stay local even among the single and childless smh KNOW YOUR NUMBER.
That's just greed you are taking advantage of carriers
you're commenting on something you don't understand.
But then again it's the carriers fault as well for taking such a ridiculous load for that price. Truck drivers need to stop taking these kind of loads. Instead of trying to make ur money off the truckers u should be working gwith them cuz with out them u have nothing getting moved. U should be trying to collect more money from us customers
I've been watching you for a bit, but to compare your leg work to the leg work of driving this load across the country is just wrong.
Sure the driver chooses what they do, but to not be fair and righteous with all loads across the board is wrong.
I kindof hope this carrier sees this video and no longer runs for you over this.
A broker can move multiple loads a day, a driver can only move one. There is nothing that guarantees that the carrier will be able to find another load to add on to this.
Also home runs are nice but singles, consistently will still win the game in the end.
opinions are just opinions. keep hope alive!
Brandon what are you talking about breaking? Even on what expenses does a freight broker have versus what a Carrier has?
You should be kept at 10% with complete transparency and we need to move the fmcsa in that direction. Brookers are killing the freight industry.
I like watching your videos, very informative! But this one in particular the broker is making way more than an owner operator who works for the carrier, who took this load for $2000. Can't imagine what this carrier is going to pay the owner operator, depending if he's paying a percentage, rate per mile, hourly, etc, its definitely not going to be much. Its evident how there's a large percentage of load board freight that's going for practically unlivable rates because of this practice. The video is justifying that this is ok. Im not bashing. Its a numbers game. Im very skeptical of jumping into this game with a sprinter van. I just don't see how it pays any overhead if you do it on your own. Seems like an owner operator has to luck out and find a company that will hire him as an employee for a dedicated lane just to avoid this game. What I just did is paint a scenario of what a large amount of folks is going through at this level.
Then stop being an owner op and get your own accounts duh problem solved , owner ops just go up to a window and do the job , when the broker does all th busses work, the real business work , if you don't like it , then do it all your self, get the contract and move it on your own simple as that
@@MIKESGREATSTORY sound advice! You sound like an expert. Thx Mike. I'm sure you can't be a broker, because if you were, you're definitely undermining O/O which proves my point. Thx for your input.
@@MIKESGREATSTORY I was looking for a sound rebuttal not a sound off!
Also you're sounding like I should go else where as an owner operator to get my own and stop asking questions? Again, you're proving my point. I wanted a more positive response.
If the stupid laws allowed carrier’s to broker there own loads they could use advertising or a load boards that shippers could post a load on like a broker does and the load board verification checks the carriers
Brokers don’t have equipment costs fuel costs or big truck insurance
And the commission brokers make should be capped at 20%
He is doing brokerage for a reason. The point is there needs to be laws to regulate freight brokers. Lobby your political leaders and fight to get a 20-25 percenter max take by brokers. They aren't going to pay the truck drivers what they should out the kindness of their heart. They have too much greed. They will justify it with saying they chose their path or the driver doesn't have to take it. The biggest financial risk is on the trucker. The driver does make a fraction of the profit after their cost. Truckers has to spend hours on one load. Brokers send out multiple loads in that time. Truckers need to find a transparent broker and promote that broker. Support that broker.
That was a dummie carrier
No such thing as a backhaul as a carrier
We're gonna bring this out and I will bet you if you agree to move it at $2000 was maybe because he'd go s*** up higher to get to $2000 from what you had at that or you was firm on $2000. And then at that point how many people refuse that load? Because it's a c***** load.
When you use zip codes it screws the driver because you may hit the zip code but still have to drive 50 miles or more within that zip code. If that happen on both stops at 2 bucks per mile, that’s a lot of money that the driver lost on just that one load.
They play that game to there favor
Truck drivers just drive trucks. They have no brains in making business transactions and dealing with multiple parties. Why do they think they deserve more? Just because they want to be paid more? That's not logical argument
How does a carrier communicate with either the broker or the shipper, that they are available for pickup? Or does the broker /agent have to find them? And why doesn't the shipper and carrier just work together without a broker?
What year was that? Cause that carrier made less than $1 per mile. Fuel alone is a $1 today. I wouldn't take a load today 2022 for any less than $2.5 per mile. Anything less and I'm losing money.
If an idiot is willing to drive for nothing that is their right. The positive side is the faster carriers bankrupt themselves,capacity falls helping us all that have a business & not a job.
But I truly appreciate how you show people. Some of the things that they don't look at. And I hope people will see why you just don't move along. Because I have a dollar sign next to it
Brokers shouldn't even be able to get loads independently. They are not a primary part of the process. They should only be able to get loads while working with a carrier with the carrier being a part of the process. Otherwise you have them making unfair amounts on these loads.
Seems like the problem is many people don’t know how to manually calculate a freight rate. You start with carrier expenses and profit. Why are y’all dipping into the base?
Freight brokers ain’t worth 40%. Your the reason this industry is so dry. You don’t pay for fuel break down or blow outs and your trying to justify posting loads for $1 a mile
I believe the carrier who move a load like this for 2000 is just ignorant of his cost or crazy this will be less than dollar a mile with fuel cost 50 cent a mile and what about driver and insurance and so many inputs in carriers cost I believe the broker who quoted on this price is killing the market and kills the carriers too
Love the videos and I really appreciate your content/knowledge! I've been in the industry for around 4 years. Do you never get nervous about your carriers or customers watching your videos and then asking about your pricing?
This is a partial it is only 5 pallets I would get the driver another load to cover the 35 feet that's left on the truck... good price for $2000 for that LTL
When I become a broker I will not do those loads as a current carrier I am. Though, I am amazed as how carriers do not know their numbers before they go broke. Playing the game of money
This is why trucking rates are so low. Fuel prices are outrageous and freight brokers are making too much money on each load. It also doesn’t help that some truckers are too desperate.
here's the thing how's does the frieght broker know what the cost of operating a 200 thousand dollar truck is ? they don't even drive a truck or own one. they have to understand it costs money to move frieght and driver have way more expenses then the broker.
My father is a carrier and I’m about to start my brokerage firm. Is that a good idea already knowing that I have someone garantie to move my loads???
Reason y broker rob driver is cuzz to many drivers ctake cheap freight so this giy can make money
They is no such thing as a back haul , that was invented by brokers , we still have the same overhead
Thanks. I appreciate this. Reality check. Everyone needs to be profitable.
I STILL DONT C THE USE OF BROKERS THE MIDDLE MAN IS NOT NEEDED IB THIS INDUSTRY
carriers don't see it that way....if they did they wouldn't use brokers....
@@brandonthefreightbroker just because these mega carriers can afford to take cheap freight doesn’t mean it’s right for the industry shit at one time slavery was legal did that make it right because a group of people decided it was ok to gain unearned income on the backs of others this is all about capitalism trying to get rid of the independent o/o by underbiding on loads or double booking loads all that does is flood the market with cheap freight people should get paid a fair rate for work performed not by a capitalist system made up by capitalist
so you're comparing slavery with brokering freight....interesting....keep complaining and comparing...ill be working ..its way more productive.
@@brandonthefreightbroker it’s not the act of slavery I’m speaking of its the idea 💡 of creating that system and it was made to be legal just because a system was or is created doesn’t mean it’s right to install that system and it’s not complaining it’s factual
@@brandonthefreightbroker for the record I’m doing very well in trucking I back up my words u call complaining I don’t have money 💰 problems I’ve been driving for 14yrs and learned this business the hard way because I refused to be played like a fool twice u get one with me I am very comfortable in life most people especially us blacks don’t even have 100k saved up shit most don’t have 5k I’m good just got back from Africa Ethiopia 🇪🇹 doing business there on the continent but just because I’m doing well means nothing if the majority of my people are still sleeping going around displaying and acting in what we call INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR PATTERNS towards ourselves and others who look like us the fact that we don’t own one of these mega carriers in this country to me is a problem I don’t care about my personal success it’s about the collective the mega carries along with the dispatch and brokers are the main reason drivers have a difficult time advancing in this industry because they all have one agenda and that is to get the driver to accept the cheapest freight possible while ripping them off in turn leaving millions of dollars 💵 on the table someone else took for themselves all I’m saying is these drivers out here better wake up and learn about this game that’s being played on them or nothing will change anyway I have nothing personal against u BRUH keep doing u because I’m damn sure doing me keep up the good work ✊🏾💪🏿💯🐅⛓🔥🇪🇹🇪🇹
Can you make a video of cold calling a shipper and setput with a carrier on TMS.
What is TMS?
So the driver took a loss on the load? That doesn't even cover fuel. Help me understand how this makes any sense,
We need to push for legislation to limit the percentage brokers can make on each load.
My thoughts as well, but then I thought what if the government regulated how much we could make
@@mauricehenderson1176 they are, without regulating brokers and having them show how much the shipper actual pays to move freight, we are always will be indirectly regulated. They regulate attorney fees for lawyers in workers comp cases. And lawyers are just brokers in a sense to their Clients. It should be the same with truckers and brokers. We are trusting brokers to negotiate fair market rates, so to ensure everything is fair let’s regulate it.
@Phillip Jones I agree with that...
Mandatory transparency for freight pirate compensation needs to happen 2023 ASAP
We would have 100% access to all lanes just like it was before Brokers were a thing and therefore the people with the skin in the game the actual equipment run the show and paid what we are worth I say fuck factoring dispatching brokers no hate I respect the hustle just run it on the dummies I’m not going for it lol ... Direct Dedicated Shipper freight only don’t be dumb carriers it’s not hard to offer your trucks to a shipper and guess what you give them a deal and you pay yourself more because you got right to the source and see there’s a $1600 in unnecessary freight bills... but big dawg I see your business model it works I’m just on the other side of the fence brother be easy keep the vids coming
I SAY GET RID OF BROKERS, THEYRE SCAMMING OFF TOP
@@robertcummings7271 no don’t get rid of them become them dual authority carriers excel and don’t even mention regulation just join the fun with more to offer
That no money 😂 for a driver 2000 lol he only going see 700 dollars for 2200 hundred miles he find him a dummy
Eventually, truckers are going to start screwing you guys.
