So you just said what I have been saying for a while now. Someone real smart (not me) needs to come up with a carrier app that can be used by all carriers to list and review brokers. Why do brokers have a bad boy file and carriers don't. Sticking together is key. Safe travels, friends.

Conduct a background check and a credit report on all brokers before you sign anything or load your truck. For all you know they just got out of prison for fraud, why would you loan your equipment and insurance policy to someone right out of prison? right?
I was once delayed to consignee by two days last winter but was not deducted for being late for delivery because there was black ice conditions along i10 in Lake Charles, LA. I wrote in on the ratecon, there will be no deductions for delays incurred due to adverse driving conditions or breakdowns.
LNdstar started doing this.... deduct this and that. We don't haul for them any more....some rate cons are 12 pgs long. When we delete all the bs from it and send it back, usually toss in the trash. Son now if rate con is more than couple of pages . Trash can ....
I've had my dispatch at one of my old companies tell me a few times to download and app so the shipper can track me..... I told them to piss in the wind, I told the receiver when I'd get there and what time 4 days in advance and I always arrive with in 15 minutes. Punctuality is one of my stronger suits when I say I'm going to be some where I am. Most companies i work for have started going around the brokers direct to customer........and go figure everyone's much happier.
Yup all day sometimes even when you're done with that load . Had a broker call me days after it was delivered asking what my eta ,was I told them it was delivered 2days ago and that I was on hometime. He mildly said " Oh then I can go ahead and disable the tracking " . I said what ? You mean to tell me you've been tracking me and I haven't been on your load ? Yup every place I went on hometime .

Mr. Gilkarov, On the issue of drivers being "late" to a shipper or receiver, one does see drivers bragging, even in writing, about 100% on time. One normally assumes they are full of sh** --- the central-most character trait of many in trucking, but what say you? To set up this question a little more, the industry and its pricing are based on a kind of one-load-after-another model, with little time in between, that is, little layover time, as it is often called. Throw any wrench into this schedule, and lateness can easily happen. And collision and construction delays often produce exactly such problems. It is also true that there might have been many extra hours, take 6 as an example, built into a delivery schedule. The driver takes it a bit easy, but then experiences a two-hour-long delay as the appointment time, or end of the window, draws near. Yes, such a driver can be said to be at fault for the lateness. Anyway, what insights have you? Keep tractor-trailer drivers ever on edge? Now, in steps a broker, with artificial requirements that neither shipper or receiver much care about or even notice. How much time is even involved on most occasions? Minutes? At worst, pick up or delivery first thing the next morning. Not to promote lackadaisical driver attitudes about appointments, but it is one of the more irritating aspects of being a driver when dispatchers and brokers need to hear for the 187th time that, construction and collision delays are both commonplace and unpredictable. "Oh, but I planned your run time based on 50mph, even though you could really do 60." Is that enough thought and understanding? Is there some unspoken rule that 85 is the absolute maximum IQ for these people. I am being facetious. Some are better than others. But very many reject utterly the need to be flexible and to communicate frequent changes to the concerned parties, though doing just this is the only value added by (non-load-planning) "dispatchers," the only reason they have a paycheck. Again, what say you?
Do we need a dedicated platform? There are thousands of groups on Facebook, hundreds of communities on Discord and Instagram... the spaces exist, but people need to indulge in active participation
What about brokers that have their own rate and when detention pay starts ? Example detention after 3 hours not 2 hours and rate only $30 per hour when our breakeven is $90 per hour . Also these brokers do not care about reviews.
Brokers might not care, but the people who use them most certainly will. If they see a surplus of bad reviews, it will dissuade them. And you can be sure that you're not the only one facing an issue with these brokers so you're not likely to be the only person leaving such reviews
a good carrier will NEVER give direct contact with their drivers to a broker.. hell even giving contact with the customer is sus. thats what dispatch is for! its literally their job to manage all that. a driver drives, he shouldnt have to put up with bullshit from brokers and customers. owner ops are more involved obviously but plain drivers... nah. they should not have contact. even at delivery, thats what your dispatch is for... they have to arrange it all; driver just gets there and walks in with paperwork etc. none of that "have your driver call us 2 hours before arriving". no. thats your job. you can see where your truck is, confirm with your driver his eta and then arrange that with your destination for him. he is driving, he shouldnt have to deal with some warehouse clerk while on the road burning his hours
no only one side, reviews are a very good thing. pretty easy to tell which reviews have a foundation in truth and which ones don't because the persons clearly a moron. Accountability has become a rather lacking trait amongst people now a days.
