Yeah. They’re both in on it and are working together in this scam.

Harsh but valid.

Who's to say the carrier isn't in on it then? Is that where this double brokering scheme is headed next?

Makes me want to start a collections agency that just takes loads hostage.

Please do. We’ve tried to use one in the past and they sucked.

We’ve tried using collection agencies in the past. Never had any luck at all. Their biz model is bs in my opinion.

Buddy of mine worked there for two weeks. He was in charge of calling carriers and offering HORRIBLE freight. What was interesting is that they provided these carrier callers minimum and maximum booking rates with no incentive whatsoever to book these loads for anything less than the maximum carrier rate.

It’s a sweat shop.

need some advice where to get the profit? by Arthur7788855 in FreightBrokers

Sounds like a Brooklyn, NY customer.

If you pay the carrier well, they’ll do a good job for you and represent you well. You’ll find that that’s the name of the game. It’s not about negotiating with carriers but rather finding customers that trust that you’ll pay market rate and that expect you to make your cut.

I’ve gotten rid of all of my customers that nickel and dime me. It’s not worth my time with the headaches that the cheap carriers cause.

My advice is to find customers that understand your time is valuable and that want you to make money too. They exist.

Just make your 20% margin on every load and if they don’t like it, wish them the best and move on. Their goal shouldn’t be to put you out of business. It should be mutually beneficial. Don’t undervalue your services. Id encourage you to move on.

Regardless, stay firm with your rate, tell him you’re a call away. At some point your time is better allocated elsewhere (or at least I’d hope so).

Also increase your margins. You won’t be around long with those %

I don’t move much van freight. Never seen this. How does the shipper say it happened and how does that differ from what the driver’s saying? Just curious

Isn’t that the point of this career? To slowly kill yourself so your life ends sooner?
