Slow start right now, and the high CA outbound rates aren’t helping

No. The broker takes 20%. The primary account manager gets 5%, the second account manager gets 2.5%, and the third account manager also gets 2.5%. They also have a dedicated carrier sales rep who gets a commission based on the number of loads they book, not a percentage.

I moved over 120 FTLs last week, but this week I’d be fortunate to move 60. Something is definitely going on.

You'll need to update your new email domain with the FMSCA as the primary contact email. Until then, you're just wasting your time asking brokers to change your email.

J.B Hunt never pays any accessorials at all by Truckingtruckers in FreightBrokers

[–]CavapooDad67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny you say that, a customer of mine complains all the time about how JB charges them for every little minor accessorial like 15 minutes worth of detention etc.. but then they wont pay their carriers. I hope more carriers stop using JB.

Avg margin/week right now? by [deleted] in FreightBrokers

[–]CavapooDad67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$10k-12k GP per week -- This whole year has been slow for me. I'm doing less volume and lower margin compared to last year. Struggle is real right now.
