{"replyTo":"","text":"Freight brokers are and have always been crooks. They tell their customers the rates keep going up because the cost of trucking keeps rising. Then they post the loads for a fraction of what the customer is paying. The problem is no regulation on how much of your money they can steal and newbies and foreigners that keep booking this garbage because they have no idea that $2 is NOT a good load. leave it in the dock to rot and watch the rates start climbing. Brokers cost truckers and the American economy billions every year. People dont seem to realize that because they charge the shippers more and more guess who pays for that at the point of sale? We do. We all get burned twice by these thieves. The FMCSA has their noses so far up our rear ends trying to regulate evey move we make yet there seems to be ZERO control over what these criminals steal from everone. How bout they put a cap and penalties and actually enforce them, like they do for anything to do with a trucker, and then maby we wouldnt have to work 80hrs a week to feed our kids. The government acts like we actually want to work this much and have no clue that between warehousing and criminal brokers and trucking companies we have no choice. Its like this whole circus is being run by a bunch of clueless bumblefks who know nothing about whats really going on in the trucking industry. Ive worked in many fields in the last 45yrs and Ive never experienced so many liars and thieves as there is in the trucking industry and we get ripped off by every one of em. Then as an added bonus they look at us like WE'RE a bunch of losers. Ok Im done ranting. This business make me crazy.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"You are so right. My brother (a useless t!t) sits at home and sells loads for Triumph, one of the many such brokers. And his type is exactly what they feed on. Some guy who can set home in his boxers and gets incentives to sell load as cheap as possible. Trust me, we had words this morning. ","replyToPid":368232}

{"replyTo":"","text":"i also noticed that companies in the US and Canada are hiring people overseas. specially \"India\" to deal as representatives to their brokerage and most of the time that is where everything goes wrong. those guys get a salary of 3-400 month while these brokerage CEOs are ripping us all off. this is something the truckers need to wake up to, it is happening, and it will only make things worse.","replyToPid":0}
","text":"it's a law being circumvented. when you sign the carrier agreement with the broker it says that you waive your right to that information in the fine print. Just like IFTA, brokers need to report their quarterly profit margins, that will help with transparency.","replyToPid":368138}
