$15 PER TON OFF THE TOP BROKERS!!!!!!!
Help me to understand something folks......and brokers, feel free to chime in. I recently expierenced a broker take $15 off the top of a given price per ton. YES 15 PER TON AND GAVE ME 16 PER TON!!!!! So I made one dollar more per ton than them to haul SIX loads. Furthermore, I get email updates and notice in various different locations online, new "brokerage" or "logistics" companies being created. Subsequently these new brokerage firms or even the existing firms, broker loads from other brokerage firms. Or worse yet, they 3x broker the load to only give the trcking community even less.
BROKERS, please tell me how I am supposed to trust or earn a rightful living, like you yourselves are, without transparency across the boards about what a load legitimately pays????? Do you not lose sleep knowing that you are taking 4 to 15 dollars off the top per ton when you broker out a load???? YOU make calls just like I do every day in order to secure loads, except you have the luxury of sitting behind a laptop and desk making those calls and emails, versus being on the road trying to do exactly the same for three of my trucks. YES, my decision to do so, but why no transparency????
Do you not feel like a criminal or have a conscious to understand you are stealing from people by lying to them with "oh, thats all I can give up on this load", "I am taking money out of pocket to get you this load".....is that really business. I primarly work directly with customers now, but Godsakes people, be a little more honest. Because you will be responsible for your actions eventually.
YOU PUT PEOPLE OUT OF THE MARKET AND DRIVE PRICES BOTTOM DOLLAR FOR THE TRUCKING SIDE WHEN YOU LIE ABOUT RATES AND TAKE SO MUCH OFF THE TOP!!!! YOU ARE BEING FIGURED OUT!! Feel free to elaborate and explain your side, because I feel completely compelled to call out about 10 brokerage or logistic companies that are routinely lying people on rates. My drivers and I run hard, keep a clean appearance, have custom clean trucks and trailers....is that not what a customer should want from a trucking company???!!! So shouldnt we on the trucking side get the same in return from the brokers???
Dont be sale outs.....you may very well catch the bad end of somebody one day if you keep messing with people's livlihood. America was founded on hard blue collar work with collective action to work together, NOT steal from each other. Show some respect!!
