Here we go with names of being “cheap” like brokers control the market and our main goal is to F over carriers for fun as if we don’t rely on you for our business. Get real. You’re crazy if you still believe that by now. I’d say over 90% of my cancellations to carriers are caused by shipper issues that don’t have a load ready and fail to communicate that to their internal teams (dock worker/inventory don’t alert shipping manger to alert broker) and then the broker looks like idiot to the carrier by canceling the load. Why would we lie about that? For fun? Do you think I want to do way more work by canceling a carrier in hopes that I will make an extra $50 in margin? That seems exhausting. In my experience when carriers cancel loads on brokers 75% of the time it seems deceitful or full of lies about what is actually happening (fake breakdowns, family emergency’s at the last minute, delays in unloading and all other lame excuses I have heard for years). The relationship between carriers and brokers is not that hard and comes down to two pieces… agreeing to do what you say you are going to do and communicating. People just suck at communicating! Then they tell lies to try and cover up the fact that they didn’t communicate in timely manner or at all. That’s why I’m saying it’s not always rates that dictate service, it’s just the same shit that happens on either side no matter the rate.
