","text":"you can't cut out the middle man, he has his job because you can't drive 10 hours a day and look for customer's 10 hours a day. You need him, as he needs you. so Dance.","replyToPid":428319}

","text":"You can cut out the middleman (broker), but the best deals out there may require you to own a fleet of trucks. I’ve met owner operators who do business directly with a shipper with one truck, but they’re not always necessarily making more. The shipper also wants a good deal for themselves, so they’ll probably be taking a good portion of the money that would have gone to the broker if they had one. "}

","text":"See that’s what I’m talking about, im not the only one paying attention to this mess. I’m just kinda baffled as to why???? Why is it plummeting, yes fuel going up, as we should have known once they say we can “unmask” pandemically speaking lol. The demand is still there and freight still has to be moved, but all of a sudden they want to cut rates to less than $2.50- $3.00 a mile. On top of that as I said before our newbies are taking the low pay loads and messing it up for the rest of us runners. We need them on the same page. ","replyToPid":428653}
