[@usoafreight2696]

Brandon, you have absolutely no idea what almost happened when i shot out the bathroom after hearing that glass breaking noise.. Boss man "Compression" and "Limiter" on your video editor is your viewers best friend lol. Ey man, great content regardless! Love this stuff. Hey I don't want to contribute all the time, i want to share directly with you, how can I reach out to you? I don't need to ask a hundred questions or anything, just like to chat it up and share some things I feel you can give to the viewers.

[@lusinearakelyan1949]

Every time on time, I do not know how else to say it, Brandon, Every time I am thinking about some issue I see the notification that you have a video and you always have the answers to my questions. Thank you so much for every single video and advice. I wish all the good things you are doing for all of us get back to you X1000. Thank You

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

I'm glad the information has been helpful Lusine!!! thank you for watching the videos and commenting! peace and prosperity!

[@crystalofthesun]

I damn near hit the ceiling when the shattered glass sound hit LOL! It's way louder than all of the other audio 😋

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

ikr!!! please forgive me...we cranked the sound effect up way to much...😀

[@crystalofthesun]

@@brandonthefreightbroker All good my friend, keep up the good work. Looking forward to working with y'all as a Carrier. Believe it or not, you have helped me ALOT with the launch of our company and my confidence in dispatching my driver, having never done it before 😁 We've got a ways to go before we meet your authority requirements, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless. Watch for WayPoint out of Perry, GA. We're here to make a difference ❤️

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

sounds great crystalofthesun!!! wish you the very best in your life and business!

[@pedestalgardens-baltimore9066]

That glass breaking noise damn near took me out as I was running on my treadmill 🤣Good content though!

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

my bad😀😀

[@richardbobbitte4182]

As a carrier based on 100,000 miles a year and let's say that I have a fixed cost of about 75 cents a mile and fuel right now is about a dollar a mile. So that's a minimum of $1.75 a mile just to break even with me as the driver. I try to make about $90,000 a year for myself so I need an average rate of about $2.65 a mile to achieve that goal. When the market was good I could get about $4.50 to $5 a mile going into the Northeast and about 2.25 to 2.50 coming out. I just booked a load from Pennsylvania to North Carolina for a$ 2.93 a mile. The initial offer rate was about $1.53 per mile. I told the broker what I needed to be able to maintain my equipment and to make a decent living and this is the rate I got. So as a broker I hope you take all these factors into consideration when you're giving a rate to a shipper. We do need you guys and we want you to make a good profit but don't try to get rich on the backs of the truckers. I've had several shippers tell me that they would rather deal with one or two brokers rather than a hundred different trucking companies. God bless you and I hope everybody stays profitable.

[@Mrdice_m]

The person that controls the rate it's the truck today a broker wanted to pay me$2 a mile I'm waiting to the last minute and pushed it to 415 a mile 3 + a mile for over 1000 4+ a mile for less 1000 miles

[@michellac.3364]

Thank you for this perspective! Will always keep this in mind! We all want best for our families.

[@Mrdice_m]

Always put a good rate for your truck If you're good truck driver you could do that most brokers not going to work with you but you do not want to work with most brokers or shippers 320 in miles do not go lower if you do you're just making them more money

[@tennillej2980]

Great content as always. I have a simple question. How should one actually go about SENDING the rate quote to the shipper. Is a email sufficient or is there a more formal form going to be expected

[@diamelgoitizolo900]

Great video I’m a carrier but I always watch your videos

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

Cool my man! Thank you so much and wish you the very best in your life and business! Onward!

[@McLoud232323]

Rate mate seems to be expensive unfortunately… what else for tools would you recommend?

[@romeindara3625]

I have a simple question too, Will this AB5 law effect brokers in California? Are owner operators brokers main clients?

[@yonkersfr8mover534]

Great video!

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

thank you!! 😀

[@brandymarsh6689]

I need your help Brandon how do I get in contact with you?

[@wyonacalvin1333]

Hello Sir. Do you do one on ones? Rather zoom or in person

[@MeetWilliamVaughn]

How about DAT as a tool for rates? Any reason to approve or disapprove?

[@creamoffreight]

Thank you

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

thank you Alicie!!

[@jessiebrown1624]

I’m in Charleston, South Carolina, and a shipper wants me to provide a rate for 0-10 miles, 11-20 miles, and 0-50 mile radius. My carriers have box trucks & 53ft dry vans

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

opportunity!!!

[@wpatterson876]

@Brandon Scott I'm pretty they know that, probably was looking for more information on how to or strategies but they probably need to sign up for your course 😉

[@mehmoodanwer974]

Question: If I have a direct inside contact with shipper do you think can one get better rate then most of the load board ?

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

hey Mehmood!! If you're direct to the shipper you could get a better rate...yes!

[@arturodelao2135]

Good morning, what do you think about becoming a third party provider? examples: EShipping, Protrans etc... this is for LTL shipments &^ possibly TL shipments, thanks

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

greetings of peace and prosperity!! not familiar with this...

[@mehmoodanwer974]

Question How one can get Class A CDL Driver OTR ? What is your recommendation from which site I can look for Driver?

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

not my lane...

[@wpatterson876]

Social media, Indeed or any of the employment websites and of course word of mouth.

[@marcnick03]

I’ve been looking for this

[@Kshontelle]

Does DAT have something similar to the rate mate tool?

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

DAT has a rate sourcing tool within the DAT express package...I think this is their basic package...

[@Kshontelle]

@@brandonthefreightbroker ok thank you😁

[@Yungheavyswag]

I’m a owner operator looking to get into brokering i have a hand full of questions do you offer one on ones?

Oh boy this trucking business is getting scary. You're gonna put yourself out of business. You need trucks more than we need brokers
