","text":"The etiquettes of negotiating freight rates is simple. Post which have rates are fixed, do not call unless you want to run that load for that rate. Just as you wouldn't walk into Walmart and negotiate prices of items, you do not call a broker who has a rate posted and try to haggle. If there isn't a posted rate, have at it, most likely you will get the shorter end of the stick because they haggle for a living, and expect to be lied or misled.\n\nHow do you haggle profitably? That is another art of survivor. Buy my book for 4 easy payments of $19.99. And I will explain the art to you in graphic details, so that you can become a millionaire as a solo truck driver.","replyToPid":380273}

","text":"local shippers are all scared to work directly with carriers or owner operators. there is a belief in America that everything has to be done through a broker. I've talked directly to shippers and they all say\" I don't know man, I don't wanna get in trouble with the broker\", as if I don't have the same insurance as the broker does in case something were to go wrong","replyToPid":380291}
