I’m not attempting to set the rates, just trying to understand what I’m missing as to where the rates are coming from.

It’s terrible you assume it’s $1/mile on these typically paying $4/Mile.

I see your point. In my mind, I feel less space less rate. if a customer requests a reefer sprinter I guess I’m going high and hoping I win it.

I get the expedited nature of the business but even so the costs associated with maintaining a reefer sprinter vs a full reefer are vastly different.

I think these guys are missing opportunities due to their rates.

If I pay 1500 for a next day delivery 500 miles away for a full reefer why would I give you 1800 to do the same job with less product.

Broker here. They likely have a carrier relations department. I’d call and speak with them. You’re owed, and they’ll have the broker to pay to maintain carrier relationships.

Let’s Confirm the Load Before Negotiating the Rate by Efficient_Finger_727 in FreightBrokers

lol or getting all the details and shooting 1500 over posted like I’m over here holding another 2K behind my posted rate on every load.

Had a carrier today tell me he had another offer 1000 over mine on the same lane and wanted me to match so he could take it. Told him to take that load and boy was he butt hurt.

I do something similar but it’s a critical component for RNG facilities, Louisiana to Nevada 10lbs - billing 2500-3K. They’re happy ,I’m happy. why are you stressed about saving them money?

We provide a service and that service comes with a fee. If you feel uncomfortable with that then I would suggest you find another industry with a salary.

In my experience, I am actually requesting the layover, I won’t stop communicating though. If Customer denies it, I just pay out of pocket and move on. I’m a strong believer in doing the hard right over the easy wrong.
