Brokers really don’t have an idea what small companies do when they don’t turn in loads to be paid.
What we do to keep old trucks on the road to haul cheap grain for brokers who don't want or care to pay you in a timely manner. From taking out small loans to parking and working a side job to playing video poker at the casinos. We bust our equipment up on the roughest roads and pull out of fields that tractors get stuck to make your life in that chair you sit in a little more comfortable so you can screw with people who work their equipment hard to get the load from the farms to the mills or feedyards or plants. Allot of us have to go from loads to loads to make our payments insurance companies don't give a shit if your not paid but they care if your payment to them isn't on time . Bankers still get payed and most parts and fuel are pre paid nowadays as many people don't use in house credit or maxed out credit cards. I see more companies trucks going by and when you run the small independent trucks out of business you will pay the big companies what they want to haul your product or they will just "cut you out to " .
