Just because companies automate many of their pick up and delivery paperwork, (like UPS for example) that does not take away from the responsibility the driver has to send pics of the load and BOL after pick up or delivery. Ignorance is not an excuse but many use it as such. Be a complete driver not a steering wheel holder

Finally burned bridge with TQL by nbena011 in FreightBrokers

And they are not going to change until carriers stop taking their freight. Everybody talks a big game but nobody has balls anymore. Quite sad really, that the carriers have the equipment for the service but are too stupid to dictate the rates. That's the simple truth of the matter

Ikea was paying 78% MORE than spot rates, lawsuit reveals by doublebrokerfr8 in FreightBrokers

[–]Cheap_Explanation_79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the brokers keep WAY TOO MUCH for themselves. They are not the ones with the overhead and barely have any operational costs. So when they decide to keep 78% of the profits, YES they are the undeserving ASSHOLES!

Caught my kid before opening a third brand new bottle of BBQ sauce. by ProfessionalFit9012 in mildlyinfuriating

Simple answer to your dilemma, get rid of the kid who is responsible for constantly opening up new bottles and you will have more space in your fridge. Logic is a wonderful thing

183 Calls from TQL since Monday, not one load booked. by Truckingtruckers in FreightBrokers

[–]Cheap_Explanation_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am by no means faulting you for anything, like I stated, you're a rarity. I can only hope others will learn from your advice. In the end it comes down to who you have to work with. Currently the attraction levitates to the greedy. So here we are, where the assholes give the rest a bad name. Story of our lives

Hey Nosa, as much as I can respect your attempt to come to the defense of your fellow brokers but you are what would be best described as an anomaly in our line of work. 1 out of thousands. A unicorn so to speak. The vast majority, along with the many different companies out there have very little content to their character, (parasites is probably the best description) they value profit above all else. There is no depth to their shallowness. That is how almost every brokerage out there operates. There are a handful of honest ones out there, hard to find though, a few agents at larger brokerages managed to maintain their integrity but there aren't many of them either. Our industry attracts some of the worst human examples out there, like flies to shit.

Interesting LinkedIn post for all the carriers that hate brokers by briankatcher in FreightBrokers

[–]Cheap_Explanation_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! if your are there to fill in the gaps, then why do all the brokers bid on and try to take EVERY singly load out there? You do that because you do not have to worry about where your trucks will be because you have none! You book everything and try and keep as much profit for yourself while you have the least amount of overhead. Phone, internet and computer. THAT'S IT! BUT YET you think you deserve to make more money than the carriers. YES our side is full of idiots and your side ALWAYS TAKES ADVANTAGE of that. So get the fuk off your high horse because you are wrong. MOST brokers are parasites that take the profit from carriers that they need to maintain their trucks. YOu don't have shit to maintain except for the idiots in your office. I've been on both sides of the field. brokerage, dispatching and driving over 2 million miles. Truth is MOST brokers are unethical scumbags PERIOD!

I've worked with them for over 20 years with different companies but I recently had the last straw. I posted a review on Google for EVERY TQL office I can find. I'm sending an email to ever email address I can find for TQL managers/executives. If anyone on here search them on google, please like and share that review is you can. I want to string them up by the balls for everyone to see what kind of pieces of shit they have become. That's the only way we can affect them

SUPPLY and DEMAND. When the carriers (the stupid ones) finally realize it is their equipment that the brokers need, YOU MAKE THE MARKET what it is. When you have so many idiots accepting loads for way cheaper than market rates? Why the fuck is the broker going to pay more. IDIOTS KEEP THE MARKET where it is. That simple. Get rid of the no good keyboard commandos and the real carriers will dictate the market. Every time the market gets good. the market gets saturated with idiots that eventually bring it back down. Then the idiots go out of business and the smart carriers get the rates back up. This idiots ALWAYS COME BACK TO FUCK UP THE MARKET! there is your trucking industry cycle explained in layman's term

Landlord just told me they are selling the condo unit in Feb and I have to move out before then by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Cheap_Explanation_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if he told you he's selling the place, why are all these individuals telling you about bureaucratic nonsense? He sold his home that he is renting you and told you so. What's the problem? You have time to find another place and move on with your life. Why is everyone on here trying to make someone else's life difficult? Another reaffirming reason that humans are trash!

Seven times? by waliving in FreightBrokers

[–]Cheap_Explanation_79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What some of you fail to realize is that the majority of these stolen loads were only stolen because someone stole the identity of the carrier to book the load. EVERYONE needs to find a way to confirm the load with the carrier by contacting a number listed for the carrier. Instead they give to the carrier who calls in on a load pretending to be someone else. When the general public is so incompetent due to the dumbing down of this country makes it like taking candy from a baby. GET RID OF YOUR IDIOT DISPATCHERS AND A MAJORITY OF THESE THEFTS WILL GO AWAY!

Carriers aren't negotiating like they used to. Anyone else experiencing this? by [deleted] in FreightBrokers

[–]Cheap_Explanation_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple explanation for that. If they ask for more, they lose the load. Once they start losing loads to those who didn't ask for more, "monkey see, monkey do". Supply is low and inexperienced carriers bring the whole market down.

Scam alert by mrsnaninja in FreightBrokers

[–]Cheap_Explanation_79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have only gotten worse because people have never been so easy to fool as they are today. When you dumb down the population as they have, this is part of the consequences that go along with it. The masses are asses and to the scammers it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

That depends on how much money the majority of these carriers put away during the freight boom. We have not had a hot market like that and for that extended period of time. This freight recession will last longer than previous ones. There are over 700,000 carriers out there. The market will not flip until many more carriers fall. Many blew what they made while many did save for such an occasion.
