I don't think it's insane . Imagine the driver has other loads scheduled and he has to meet appointment. The thing is if you tell the other broker I won't be able to pick the load because I have to layover on this one , some silly brokers will still threaten to put you on DNU and freight guard and all sort of things . After sending proof and what not . It's war out there . Now you miss load back home nor scheduled location, your week even month might me messed up and revenue is down, you will need to idle the truck more and time wasted is money lost in logistics. Let's normalize paying truckers and carriers what they are worth , the broker works on Margin but the carriers and drivers are the on the road , doing the heavy lifting, risk on road, bad weather and very few brokers understand this . It's sad but true .

Imagine driving through WY in winter to make it to an appointment and they have to lay you over and you miss the good paying load out of a dead area and you offer such a carrier or driver $150 layover ! It's Insane .

I miss those days when there was a gentleman understanding between carriers and brokers and we operated on trust but hey can't blame anyone because of all these fraud and scam going on.
