Then they take their sweet time and mark u down as late!!)

That's when we're going to get even more Mexican drivers driving in the U.S. for $300 a week. But Trump will have a solution. That's how politicians work.

She's absolutely right that carriers should be concerned with making the profit they need for each load. It should not matter in the least what the broker's profit is. If the load offered pays you what you need take it. If it doesnt dont take it. Simple. If you dont like working with brokers invest yourself in Salespeople, facilities, back office and operational personnel to take care of what shippers want and need.

[@williamrobinson6680]

I can't even begin to fathom that repeated statement. "You don't care what brokers make, as long as you make the profits you need..." That statement runs counter to every entrepreneur, business savvy, wealth builder platform on earth. When a Broker steals $80,000 in fuel surcharges from you over time, are you telling us you don't care that happens to you? How about your drivers? Your children? etc etc. Your overhead? You can travel around the world twice,...for a year! On $80,000. Of course you care. Every business cares. This is a conversation no one should be having. Of course every business shouldn't allow theft to themselves.

[@nicolagaballo3120]

That s not how the market works. A broker cannot take consistently big commissions on his loads, . That ll open the door for other brokers to come in, quote the shipper cheaper, take the load and sell it while still being profitable and make the shipper happier. There is enough broker competition, there s no monopoly or barriers of entry for new players. What you re describing is not a realistic scenario.

Americold charges $250.00 if you 15 minutes late, but doesn’t give to sh^ts if they take 8 hours to unload or load you. Then the Brokers hardly ever pay detention. And yes the Brokers can blacklist your carrier or worse make up some B.S. to report to carrier411 and alike. Transparency you can keep it, accountability is what I want.

[@AndresBonilla-lk4us]

Real states are not responsable of anything other than the sell of the property, brokers are direct responsables of paying the customer of load goes lost or stolen, also sometimes brokers also do 3pl for the customers, like warehousing, carrier interchange, they move freight from Mexico - USA - Canada, and 3 different nationality carriers are involved in the same load. The broker has a lot of skin in the game. A realtor makes the sale take their check in the spot and leaves with no liability. Also customers pay 30 - 120 average. They have to take the hit of the cash flow and customers also run away, and by that time carriers been paid long time ago. Brokers do big time more that real state, the biggest issue is that the big ones are always keeping us divided, making the small ones think that divide is better. Become friend of your good brokers and learn.

The best way to resolve this is to eliminate the broker in your business. We need to look for shippers directly. Companies need to seek contracts with smaller companies to open the market. We have to boycott the vultures of this industry, let them dry in the sun without being able to carry any trucks.

[@Richtaco]

Knowing what the broker makes will do absolutely nothing. What are you gonna tell them “I know your making x amount now I want more”. Broker will say “No”

[@hecrod780]

No more brokers hire a person to put company direct loads on a load board there’s no need for them

[@emmaduarte88]

the only solution it's say no to cheap freight. some prefer to get a cheap load so they pay at least the diesel and that it's what's getting this industry like how it is now. truckers need to work toghter and get every load at no less than 3 dollars a mile so everyone makes money

[@Prachka1]

Stupidity of carriers. They have no guts to stand up.

[@sams7655]

Foreigners don't care, they are happy with the cut throat rates they are getting. I've seen families and 4 to 5 grown men living in their trucks.

[@Richtaco]

The whole industry needs an overhaul

[@onelittlelamb4030]

I don’t think it’s anyone’s business ever how much someone makes or how much profit they’ve made. We don’t do that for any other industry. I don’t think that’s the problem with brokers, although they are making an exorbitant amount of money and too much money, especially in the case where the trucking company or driver is making not enough to cover basic expenses it doesn’t make sense that they would be getting paid an exorbitant amount of money. If we can’t make money, they shouldn’t be able to make money either and they should increase the price to where we can make a profit.

[@Marblusky]

Yo, listen up. In the trucking biz, everyone's gotta watch their backs. From drivers dealing with shady carriers who play games with the rates to brokers who make bank by ripping off the carriers, it's a jungle out there.

[@andrewviera3846]

Broker transparency would give better insights on the market in all lanes, which would give better negotiating power. Does DAT and Truckstop get the info on what brokers are getting paid? Probably not. Their market rates are an average of what rates are being posted on the board. I may be wrong, so please correct me

[@operationatdsnexpedited2682]

Finally at least something from fmcsa.

[@jimmyconway6080]

Broker transparency isn’t needed if carriers wouldn’t be willing to haul for Pennies

[@Sharcc700]

I remember I did a load from LA to Vegas. I got the load for $1600 the broker told me that was all he had in the load. He accidently sent me the real price this load was paying and it was $ 3000. They ripping off the carriers.

[@cascadia7244]

The question is. What is the punishment for brokers for not providing these records of past loads? The answer is no punishment will be put on brokers for not following these rules. Nothing will change.

[@4459Strawberry]

Nothing will happen until all drivers take a real stand and don’t move until they understand that if we the truckers don’t move no one gets paid.

[@ophidiaparaclete]

Require an audit of these brokers?

[@Angora1908]

Truck should be on the clock just like i am with this elog BS, As soon as i get dispatched clock should start ticking only way it should be

[@VerifiedUser-fs6tr]

Finally at least something something is better than nothing it is not okay for broker to know how much is Carrier making and for Carrier to do not know how much is broker making. Broker already threat in their packets to block carrier and go after them if they solicit their customer so what's the problem then ???

[@hotshot4697]

The word DRIVER wasn't even mentioned once ! Carriers rob Drivers, just as Brokers rob Carriers !

[@ec3489]

Time for truckers to flip the script on the brokers. Don’t haul for any broker that doesn’t follow their “ obligation “ and lawyer up and sick em on the brokers.

[@mrbryguy5831]

The fmcsa is apparently being paid by brokers. I don’t understand how carriers/ contractors are being completely over looked in this industry I also don’t understand how shippers/receivers aren’t stepping in to help the biggest piece of this industry’s puzzle.

[@destinydestined3448]

As a carrier I do not agree with what this whole broker transparency push. We should be wary of government overreach at all times, this is a blatant example of such. We don't ask Walmart to provide us with how much they make when we go pick up bread from their shelves, however; if we did want to know their general profits we can check the company's prospectus. Carriers simply must know their operating costs then negotiate around that. The simple answer that everyone usually yells is " stop taking cheap freight," however; there will always be a market for cheap freight because someone can run a 2003 Volvo for .20 cents/mile and make a profit. Again, simply know your costs and operate around that, the market will take care of the rest.

[@TruckerMike089]

Spoken like a true broker

[@aleni4994]

Brokers will find a loop hole where they can get away with it again

[@unperuanoenlascarreterasde9964]

That is very true. The ONLY way we can stop brokers , shippers, FMCSA , dot to take advantage is to educate ourselves and to charge them our worth .

[@stretch3181]

I'm don't care what the broker gets as long as I get mine!
