Brandon Reveals Freight Rates Shippers Pay Freight Brokers..

[@bigbuck4438]

honest question...why should I as a carrier lose money or barely break even coming back from California just because I might have made a good haul out to California? my goal isn't break even...it's to make enough money to have repair expenses covered, fuel expenses covered, all the other fees and fixed payments covered, and at the end of the month make enough money to support my family otherwise what's the point? why should a carrier only make a decent haul half the time?

[@GSQUARED34_]

He's giving false info if u know the game

[@tristanmolina894]

I calculate all these expenses when sending quotes to shippers. So that way the truck driver is compensated for insurance, maintenance, gas, time spent covering and uncovering a open load. Every step you have to take I quote the shipper.

[@Hammerboy023]

Just a wild guess but supply and demand? Also I don't think he meant that maliciously, he was just stating that a driver would rather make some money rather than no money if the truck is not moving or moving empty, which is worse because at that point its blowing money rather than making it.

[@domsterish]

I agree with Gonzalez. Yes always go for the big money but I want to make money both ways not just one way. So you may find a sweet spot so your driver is getting paid on the way back instead of driving empty

Every now and again i dip into spot market rates and wonder how some carriers stay afloat. Dear carriers cut off the middle and focus on getting loads straight from the shippers. Their is no need for brokers in this businesses trust me i too was a broker at one point carriers can do the same thing they do minus the loss of money . The spot market rates are about to go down this is the time to wisen up and reach these shippers if we band together and take back our business eventually we can ELIMNATE brokers. Good luck yall.

Typically you will not want to lowball the driver or yourself and you don’t want to gain a reputation on being a cheapskate. You can determine what others in the area are making per mile , how many trucks are in the area, with this info you will learn to gauge if asking for certain rates (negotiating) and what you as a broker will take is even an option. You can do this under some kid boards when your subscribe to them. There are portals where you plug in zips, truck/ trailer types etc.

Depends on the reason/s why the load was cancelled and why wasn't that openly communicated with the carrier before the driver started his trip to pickup... usually the broker will pay for the tonu and get reimbursed from the shipper if the reason/s for canceling involved the shipper as well... either way someone has to pay for the cancellation.. there are too many moving parts to just play around and cancel the load with no consequences...

The reason why brokers are getting over on carriers is because some will allows take the load.

As a carrier, you are truly revealing exactly how you are ripping us off. For you to think that just because we got a good rate going to a area does not mean we want to make less to grab a back haul. As a small carrier it is not practical for me to have contracted freight, since I have to be able to have the trucks available in order to fulfill the obligation. If I have truck that doesn't mind doing a dedicated run, great, but most drivers get tired of that rather quickly.

[@gabeghiby6935]

my carrier friend, the broker is not ripping you off... the broker will contract 50-75-100 trucks going out of that shipper and assumes responsibility to move all that freight... as a small carrier, you see only your portion, but more often than not, that's just a drop in a bucket from what the broker has to deal with... once the broker gave you the rate-con (rate confirmation) he's moving to another carrier, trying to find other trucks, empty and ready in that area, available to pick up... by the time you picked up that load of yours (say for one truck), thinking the broker is ripping you off, the broker is struggling to cover the rest of 49 or 74 or 99 other trucks to do the same... in order to serve the shipper, who's paying us all... many carriers want to bypass the broker/s without truly understanding the role of the broker, like why pay the broker when I could do the load without the broker?? right?? kill the middle man, take his head off... right..??.. but the shipper doesn't need 1 truck or 5 trucks to move that load, the shipper needs 50-75-100 trucks to move that load... the broker will take it, with the entire responsibility and liability that comes with it, and will give you as much as you can carry, 1-3-5 trucks, based on how many trucks you got "empty and ready" in that area... but then he - the broker - is working to cover the rest, that you can't carry, but the shipper is expecting to be moved... I'm not sure if I've made myself clear enough, but the broker is not ripping you off... on the contrary, he's giving you work, loads, and with that money, that you couldn't otherwise get...I hope you can agree, the broker must make some money too, after all, no one is working for free... try to get out of that mindset, of that misconception that the broker is ripping you off...work with the broker, build trust over time, and you'll make more money than with no broker...

@@gabeghiby6935 That still doesn't justify that the carriers should take a cheap load just because we got a good paying load to a given area.

Yes it is justified and the shipper as well as the broker as well as the carrier can reserve the right to negotiate their own terms, especially based on the seniority of the carrier, how long is in business, how is the safety record, the performance history and all that... so yes a carrier with good standing and older MC can get a better rate and detention pay after 2 hrs while another carrier with a younger MC and maybe not in great standing can get a rate that's not as great and detention pay after 3 hrs... You can't expect to be paid the same as one who is in business for over 5-10 years when you maybe are under 5 years just starting up...it takes time and trust to build a good relationship with the brokers and a good reputation so you can get those great terms, great rates great detention pay and so on... But if I may say in a very friendly way with that mindset that the broker is ripping you off you won't accomplish much in the long run... Regardless if you agree or not, if you accept it or not, the broker is and will always be a key component in the logistics and transportation chain... Once you fully comprehend that and learn to work with the brokers you'll have a smoother business relationship and with more benefits... especially once you manage to get over 25-50 trucks under your belt... better yet, when you reach that level or close to 100 trucks open your own brokerage agency and try to see how it goes... you'll be surprised to see what sacrifices you have to make - time, money, energy, ass kissing, babysitting, etc.- to get a shipper on board...

The problem truckers have. An I started as one an own a couple an now I'm going to broker. The term "back haul" which is an excuse for a cheap rate going back.. the trucker got a good load coming in an now he gets a cheap one going back. Should always be point A to point B full rate like it used to. Now a driver gets screwed an doesn't make as much as they used to with this shipper an broker mentality. For example a flat bead load from Laredo TX to Odessa/ drill pipe. Used to be 3000.00 one way an back for 3000.00 if the driver wants to.. now it's I'll give you 2000.00 there. Owner op hardly makes a profit after fuel on that load. So now he gets told don't worry I'm giving you 1500.00 back! Now he has to run it in order to make being an owner op worth it compared to a company driver and he now makes less then what he used to. I plan on changing that in a small way

Hi there. Thank you for making videos. Im currently studying to become a freight broker. Yet I'm concerned. I learned today that it can take up to 30 or more days for a shipper to pay us for a load to pay the driver. And so we need to have money on hand ourselves to pay drives advances on loads, especially as a new broker. There is no way I would have thousands of dollars on hand to pay drivers so they aren't waiting around for the shipper to pay out. Is there a previous video you made addressing this that you can point me to? Is this even necessary? How would I get around that not having money on hand to pay drives. Im confused.

I have learned that you would use factoring companies that usually charge 5% on the load for advancing the money to pay your brokerage and the trucker that moved your load.

Love the videos you put out. I may not always agree with you on carrier pricing but I understand that we both have to make money. Do you have openings for a 24ft box truck running partials in the South?

So question, out of the line haul rate is that just what you made or is that the total price you get from the shipper and you take a portion of that and post it for the carrier. I’m confused.

[@Buck505]

That's his agreed rate with his client.

[@gabrielfranco5037]

It's very cheap, but this broker is probably ok with making $200 of a single load for just making a call or replying to emails which can take less than 30 minutes from the comfort of his home thats for a single load

That’s not enough money to make 6 stops…basically the load paid $2.46 RPM & nothing for the extra stops….. 6 stops $4300 would have been more appropriate. $100 for each extra stop & that would actually depend on where the stops are located at & how far they are from each other!!!! We just did a load from Atlanta GA to Newark NJ & made $4600 one stop…($5.25 RPM) No way I’m taking anything less than $2 per mile…

I wouldn't take that load coming from California for under a $1 a mile. The broker do that to get in with the shipper. But if I was the driver I would tell them to get me short runs out that would get me to a good load.
