Hey James! We are legit. We keep it as transparent as possible and know our carriers are as important as our customers. I'm big on not wasting your time and know it only works if there is a mutual partnership. I know it's been said before a million times, but we mean it over here. Feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will send you some company info.

Hopper? I hardly even know her

All jokes aside Josh...I'll be the first to tell you when I don't know something. I deal mostly with liquid bulk and ISO tank container drayage. I'm not on here to mislead any of you or pretend I know more than you guys on the road. Hell, I learn something new from drivers almost every day...Barry schooled me the other week from a driver's POV on a project we were both on last month...helped paint a picture for me in a new light. I'm all ears and try to soak up whatver I can, and I'm just trying to find some folks who I can offer opportunities to as they come available to me. If it isn't a good fit, then no hard feelings at all!

Hey Lane, I sent a friend of mine your way. He sent you an email and left you a voicemail today. To everyone else reading this, Yes, I've talked to Lane a few times now, and think he's a straight shooter. I will be running for him as soon as we can put something together.

Free speech isn't always pretty. Harmless jokes aren't at the top of the list for censorship. This seemed pretty mild, and I'm not sure why it should be "noted". I'm guessing harmless jokes aren't allowed up north?

I think Justin Trudeau outlawed jokes up there.

Yeah definitely was a joking jab...I booked a load off here from a general freight broker trying to dabble in the bulk commodities world. The broker knew what he was doing but the main office and office staff trying to straighten out a rate confirmation that is based on delived , you would have been better talking in Portuguese to them....what a mess

Based on delivered weight instead of a exact 50,000 pounds* I spelled Hooper right, it was a dig Barry used on another thread.

The same thing happens on here. A lot of the "loads" posted on here aren't actual loads that you can go pick up. They are brokers looking for rates for loads they hope to get. Complain all you like. Nothing will be done. Because fake loads help the load board look more full. It would be so simple to create a section for brokers to seek rates. Then we won't have to waste our time calling about loads that aren't loads.

Hey ya'll!! Real broker here! I am just getting started at this company, so I don't have a lot of contracted freight yet, but always looking for new friends :) I started in Bulk at a company I was at for 6 years, got offered a too good to be true opportuntiy with a big Canadian broker and got screwed, so I'm getting comfortable now with a company. This company is sort of connected to my old company, several people migratedhere a few years ago, so I was familiar with them and knew they were legit. Good people here. Accounting is good and experienced with bulk now, you can choose your own payment terms which I thought was cool.

Most of my experience is with Hopper/ED freight. Some WF/Belt stuff, but not as much. And as a company we have a lot of history with pneumatic and liquid loads, I just am newish to that side of things. I'm ALWAYS looking for carrier friends that will teach me things. If you want to be friends let me know!!!

PS - I have a 4 year aspring singer, so if you call me at night or on weekends, there's a real possiblity she'll sing to you LOL. You've been warned LOL

I am a legit Broker. I come from KAG logistics. I know KAG is mostly a tanker company but my previous background was in Van and Flatbed. I am open to all modes except LTL currently. Whatever my customer needs, if I can find it, I will do it.

To elaborate on one of the comments in here, yes often times you will see Brokers ask for rates without it being a legit load. I have certainly done that. When it comes to Tanker loads, I am not as versed on Linehaul charges as I am for other modes as Bulk is a mode I am still learning. It would definitely be nice if there was a way to get an idea on cost so I can provide a rate to my customer/potential customer without having to always ask.

I'm always transparent so I will tell you if I am quoting to win, if we won the lane, if I have a better rate, or if my customer needs to be at a certain rate. I personally care more about coverage for my customer than high markups. My goal is to establish relationships with carriers that I can have as go tos for customers.

Just gonna go ahead and assume you have no idea what "double brokering" is. That's the safest bet I've ever made. πŸ‘πŸΌ

Hi James,

Hope your day is going well!!

I am fairly new to Bulk Loads Platform, and was pretty amused upon your comment.

I just wanted to assure that their are legit people like me as well who understand the pain of shippers and help out in the hour of need.

Please feel free to drop me a mail over [email protected]

I will share the portfolio of my organization and we can take things further from their.

Will be looking forward towards your response.

Thanks & Regards

So by my count, there were only three legit brokers on here. Best of luck guys on identifying legit business brokers. FYI, you should know your cost before even inquiring about a load. KNOW YOUR WORTH & VALUE !!!!!

I too am a real broker! I specialize in what I call "specialized" equipment meaning tankers, and reefers.

I recently started my own agency after a falling out with my previous company due to difference of opinions in what constitues quality service. This will allow me to offer the white glove services that I provide.

I am upfront, straightforward and proactively communicate with both the clients I serve, and the carriers I choose to partner with. If I don't know something, I'll let you know and then proceed to get that information.

My background is from the client side, so I am quite sensitive to their needs.

If you would like to continue a conversation further please feel free to reach out at either 651-399-0285, or [email protected]

Thanks,

Jon
