Hello, everyone. I'm a broker and have a question for you all. I notice a lot of brokers don't post rates for power only (I only do power only currently). Do you all prefer a rate posted or prefer to call in and name your price? |

Hey,
Thanks for a great question…there are many times that I buzz right past a load only because there’s no posted rate. I am twice as likely to check on a load with a posted rate as long as the rate is close to what I ask for. I like to have time to calculate and check with my regular clients to see if they have something else close by “opposite direction” before dickering with a random stranger.
I hope that helps,
Regards, Steve

I think you may be one of those mentioned in the "Dispatching" article discussion in this forum; Are you sure you're in NJ or do you only have a virtual address there? |

Most of us prefer rates posted. If the rate doesnt fit it takes unnecessary questions out of the picture. If you have decent rates you will get a better response from dedicated guys

I don't mind a rate not being posted. My rate is what the market will bare at the time, unless it's a dedicated run, then we'll take a bit off of spot rates. But honestly there's more work coming available as the bigger carriers are alienating their customers all over the place. I've been getting calls from very surprising places looking for direct carriers. |
