Talked to one guy that had a $1200.00 fee because they had to break down every pallet. I wouldn’t want to do it, some loads you’d be there forever if you do it yourself.

","text":"yeh, no one wants to do it. But what business do you go to and they don't have people to work there? Lumper companies are built into these places and they act like they are separate companies. It's the same scam as gig work economy like Uber and lyft, and every other fake self employment."}

{"replyTo":"","text":"The concept of lumpers doesn't make sense to me either. When I was new I saw articles saying lumpers save time for drivers and  help provided much needed rest to help them be prepared to drive or some baloney. A small bit of experience showed me quick that I disagreed. They say they provide a service to the truckers. But seems its a service for the receivers to me. Yet the cost is put onto the driver. Ok supposed to let us know that its the complete load. Well I didnt break the seal, so what they put on is what you get. At least the cost is reimbursed.","replyToPid":0}

846515 发表于 2020-07-16 09:16:15 Agreed to a point. At least factoring is a choice. Same as a fuel card. Lumpers the choice is take the load or dont. I can see the benefit in factoring. Yes it's a paid service. But some cant wait 30 or 45 days to be paid. In normal circumstances sure, until repairs are needed or some other cost. But the choice is ours to make at least. What works for our business and what doesn't.

","text":"factoring makes no sense, the factoring companies are owned by asset based brokers. They hold out for 30 days so they can hash out another business. Convoy and Uber freight pay like normal people should.\n\nLumpers also make no sense, they are established at the receiver. If you have the option to use their equipment and unload it yourself, then lumpers would be a convenience. They are mandatory as far as I've seen, and it's an extra expense to the broker. I have never paid for lumping."}

{"replyTo":"","text":"why do these places order items have it delivered to them and then charge to unload the freight they ordered? it's insane that's why I haven't bumped in 30 years of driving and never will.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"My brother runs a lumping company.  First, the dock or area where a load is placed is considered purgatory, it’s not actually a part of the shipper/receiver.  Second, the lumping company is renting the space to be on the dock.  Third, the shipper/receiver allows this so as to not deal with insurance issues and random drivers using their equipment.  Lastly, lumpers have multiple people sorting and restacking the load so it cuts down on dock time considerably which allows for more trucks to come through versus one truck driver doing it himself.","replyToPid":0}
