The guys over there are good to work with if you show them you are willing to get their loads covered. Been working with them for 12 years now and have never had a load that has not penciled out.

I work with Felix and he knows my bottom line and doesn't try to insult me with something he knows I won't take. He calls me almost daily to see if I need help with anything. I had a relationship like that with a broker from PT Brokers, but their rates aren't even in the ballpark anymore of what I need. I think you can get good rates from brokers that you have a good relationship with. They know you aren't going to be a headache and they pay better for not having to babysit you. But that's just my opinion.

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. I don't believe that this current market is soley because of brokers. I believe they had a hand in it, but trucks are just as much (if not more) to blame. We are our own worst enemy right now fighting over scraps. Doesn't help that we had a huge surge of truckers join the ag industry from their side of general freight; and the big companies are following suit. Soon there will be swift, navajo, j.b. hunt, etc trailers rolling down the road with us. They just need to break even for the first few years and wean us out, while they write off their new purchases. Our infighting allows them the camouflage needed for them to make their move.
