      Retired Broker here. I agree that most load brokers are less than honest and are not above lying. They do not know how to grow a business. I specialized in flat bed, over size, and overweight shipments. From the start, I did everything I could to establish a good working relationship with the carriers, which included paying an amount that would ensure their solvency earlier than the standard 30 days and sometime before I got paid. Without good, reliable, safe carriers I had nothing to sell. Customers come and go, but good carriers are rare and valued. I would always side with the carrier if waiting time, excess space or weight claims were substantiated by the carrier with paperwork or scale receipts. My customers paid for permits on a cost plus basis which went to the carrier. The credit granted to me by the carriers was not the credit I granted to my customers. I paid the carriers even if I didn't get paid - only happened once in 25 years. I did make a reasonable amount of money and looking back - it was easy and I didn't have to lie or cheat to do so, and wouldn't.

      Try to get anyone to do a simple install job of an appliance the big box company didn't finish installing because you had to replace the pipe it was attached to is like pulling your good teeth out of your mouth with a pair of plyers because it's either no priority or they give you a million excuses as to why they can't do it and you end up right back at where you started with the big box retailer ending up being the one who put you through all the hell to begin with that ends up finishing the job they didn't want to do after you spend a week or more wrangling with the shipper house who thinks you're nothing but a waste of their time and your appliance sits in the garage still not installed.

    I went through a broker to get an independent to haul something for me. He gave the driver a different price than what I had already credit-carded to pay the order. So the driver was at my house holding the load for the difference. We called the broker together and he told us "he didn't care" and hung up.
    I ended up paying the difference for the load. Price of a lesson. Also, the interstate commerce commission took my complaint and details and that broker is no longer in business.
    Glad your customers were real gentlemen.

    I was trucking in the early 90's pulling a refer . We delivered a load in Seattle,Wa. We were told to head to Wenatchee. When we got there still no load . We got a hotel room for one night. The next day we had a load of apples going to Boston but by the time we got it, the broker had gone home (noon time p t). The shipper called him for the information he needed and the broker he was home and he was not going back to work. The shipper asked if we had a room and we said no that everything was booked up. So he made a phone call and got us a room for the night (a sueit) . Double king beds. The delay in loading cast the broker detention time plus at least 300.00 for the room.

    Some of the freight brokers out there are professional but there is a pile of them that give trucking a bad name. I as you know use to drive. Once I got off the road I dispatched for awhile, then I got into load brokering. I worked for a very professional load broker. I loved my job working in transportation. If ya want excitement trucking will give you lots of it. It’s nice you usually don’t have to work with the load brokers yourself. When they start to take the profit away from the carrier it’s time to stop using that broker. Anywho great video showing what goes on behind the scenes when taking a load brokers load. Have a great and a safe day.. Happy trails and happy motoring..

    Never delt with brokers in the first years of my career. 38 years of working with people who mostly had their own accounts and salespeople who found businesses that needed trucks. Sorta like you guys and Striker. But, the last 10 years or so? Seems like we couldn't do anything without a broker being involved. Especially far from home and in need of a backhaul. Then? They started with the tracking your phone and wanting me to call them every day.

    When i was at FCC we used to do alot of brokers and at the time FCC gave us drivers alot of autonomy out on the road with them. It was as close to O/O without paying for fuel and fixing things. They got new owners so that all went away.
    Had a megabroker big CH snowflake
    Get sent to this place and they load up the truck with totes ( at the time didnt have tanker endorsement) then get handed a nice assortment of colorful placards
    that truck sat on the dock for 2 days and made 1k in detention. We were not registered as a carrier to haul hazardous materials so told the broker unload it
    "just drive the back roads and dodge the scales" Told them to pound sand you picked the wrong driver to get this done we ended up hiring a company to unload it off me on the road side into a box truck and put it in storage what happened to it i have no godly idea

    IDK if the trailer was a full level flatbed and the bit on the goose neck bit was put inside the tall hallow part. Maybe then with the 2 free spaces in the front and back over the tire's area would have made it 30 feet... But as we know the trailer you have has the raised area in front where the king pin is so the load couldn't have been moved up more closer to the cab of the semi, and that extra bit was not put inside the big hallow part of the crusher.. So how it was put on the trailer there is no way it was 30 feet.

    These last 5 years, Freight Brokers are doing their damnedest to out-sleaze Lawyers and Used Car Salesmen. Some of these vultures try to keep up to 80% of the contract, some Brokers are honest and only keep 10% to 15% of the contract for themselves.
    SouthGeorgiaHotshot can attest to both ends of the spectrum. HeavyHaulTV got out of the business because of these issues almost a year ago, sold his rolling stock, bought a home, and retired.
