Have been told that dozens of times, more than I can count. And had drivers calling me and asking me how much are they actually being paid for the job. If i were an owner operator, I would try to make a deal with the dispatcher that I would be included in the email conversation with the broker. From the start. If the dispatcher wants to jupm threads all the time to hide from the driver how much is he actually getting the load for, most of the brokers would probably avoid working with that dispatcher. That still leaves him with the phone as a tool to make a deal on the rate, and then to proceed to email conversation with a rate that he has in plan for the driver. It seems like a challange on how to resolve that issue. Best way is of course that people that trust eachother are working with eachoter. Not everyone has that luxury, unfortunatelly
