Fuel tire's maintenance salary replacement engine electrical issues broker. Computer phone maybe that is a reason a broker is a untrustworthy individual in the trucking industry. They never disclose what they make per load they say it is not your concern

But 600K is alot for a nonshipper. Co/double brokering loads must pay extremely high. I hope all works out well for CSI.

I'm sure that wasn't 600k in profit that was stolen..... any company could have over 600k receivables and payables at any given time - doesn't mean that you have 600k in profit. Just cause you are a broker doesn't mean you are making a killing and cheating everyone.

" You can't blame a person for working hard and making money...now if that is what came to him personally and the broker company share was larger that is a different story. If I run my truck 25,000 miles should I make the same as you running 100,000 miles? No. Apply that scenario to Chad's situation.

You do realize 7.3% of $2,000,000.00 is only $146,000 right? 7.3% of $8,000,000.00 is only $584,000 How many people did it take to turn those numbers? That's not getting rich in my book for all the B.S. they deal with. No way I'd take that deal. But, everybody's different.

He didn't put a gross figure out there, someone else did. I merely used the hypothertical numbers to show they aren't getting rich like many believe they are.

Quote: "I've seen 35 plus percent taken off original rates by Brokers" And what if the carrier made $8.00 a running mile on that load? Who in the hell cares what anyone makes. as long as YOU make what you think is a good payday? It makes NO difference.
