If the profit seems too good to be true, you might want to think twice about using that carrier! That's one of the biggest red flags we've run into.
Also, no negotiation from carrier side is a RED FLAG!
Hey, what about when one broker pass the load to another broker? Because the previous broker has a lot of loads, And both of them are taking a piece of the same load ?
I have seem that for years!
Thank for the video!
Yes, this happens in co broker situations. However, even in those instances there isn’t a higher bill to shipper or lower pay to carriers. They’re splitting the same size pie 🥧. It’s typically done when another broker specializes in a specific niche or region.
How can you confirm that they own the assets? Thanks!
Their are multiple tools out there like Highway, My Carrier Portal, and QuickScope. You can also verify with the insurance and Vin #. Shoot us an email at info@freight360.net and we can discuss it more in depth.
@@Freight360 okay Thanks
It's not a carrier. It's a broker claiming to be a carrier to the original broker. Then they use there broker authority to book on truck stop or dat to a carrier they don't pay.
