Broker and Dispatcher try to Negotiate Rates… 🫠💵 

Broker offers to pay $1300 out of the $4300 he booked it. Brokers are big part of the problem.

Don't accept the low rates. Stand your ground on your price and that's it. We all have to do stick together

Eliminate the brokers, and the problem is solved. (or at least most of it)

I've NEVER run freight for a dollar fifty.... Ever... and you don't need to either!!!! Stand your ground and if you end up sitting for a few more hours to wait for a good load do it! Don't have a mindset of scarcity. There are plenty of good loads out there if you know the markets and don't get in a big rush

Don't go through brokers. My company goes directly to manufacturers and gets good contracts

It is the time to start a protest against these greedy brokers!!!

Brokers can’t do anything without us drivers, be firm, hit them hard, they have no choice. Pay up or get out.

Even if you eliminate the Broker and go directly to Shippers the problem will still exist. Another Owner Operator or Carrier can underbid and then who do you think that shipper will choose 🤔. Alot of Drivers like to complain and not negotiate thinking people will just do the right thing. Owning a truck is more than just driving one, you can't think like a company driver when you assume the O/O seat. I owned a truck for 24 years, Stop hauling cheap freight! End of discussion.

Let's stop all trucks for 1 week nation wide

In 10 years it's gonna be like the dispatcher is gonna ask for $1800 and the broker gonna be like " best I can do is $50"

I reject low rates and I just started 2 weeks ago. shame on carriers taking cheap loads

lessons need to be taught. double brokers need to be ostracized. Truckers need to refuse all loads below an agreed minimum threshold. It starts with all trucks parking for 7 days. Implement minimum load rates, and hold violators accountable.

Shut down all trucks for just 24 hours, and watch 😮 the rates will go up so fast that you will forget your name.

In Wa state, diesel is $5 a gallon. My freightliner gets 5mpg on a hood day. My truck consumes a dollar a mile in fuel alone. 30 cents for overhead and driver pay. Nope. $2.50 a mile or its not worth my time.

Lately some of the brokers don’t answer their phones or respond to emails either.

As I’m watching this video literally it’s the reality 😢my dispatcher can’t find nothing good to return to Chicago…

Get a van and haul 3k lb maximum of freight for 1 dollar per mile than running a semi 15x heavier load for 30 cents more. Smh...

If everybody says no then they have to raise the rate is pretty simple That's how capitalism works. They're not going to let the load sit there for the rest of their lives

He can sure raise that price once it's 3PM and he needs a truck by 4pm lol my company (BH92 Trucking inc) we usually follow the weekly market and which areas are hot last month Florida was real hot and Michigan with their flower loada right now Houston, Laredo, Phoenix all work pretty decently we just try to avoid the east coast which is a lot harder than I made it out but we manage

It's large carriers. A multimillion dollar company can afford to undercut everyone else in the beginning but when it's time to renew the contracts and price goes up, they'll back out and expect other companies to run at that undercut price

Stop taking the crap. And stick together.

I'm not normally one to go against the free market, but I think there needs to be a minimum rate set by the government or at least local government so these brokers can't get away with charging under profitable margins.

At a 1.80 , you lose money, need at least 2.50 to be profitable

that's the reality and that's sad, what im trying to do to keep moving freight for at least 2$ a mile, 2 last week I got to an area where was 1000 loads and 100 trucks, got 3.50$ per mile for dryvan53 to the Washington state, but from there ofcourse you going for 1-.1.30$ a mile Hopefully it got better soon, nothings we can do much about it, they rates will go up one day.

Work vocational jobs. There’s a whole world with dozens of smaller industries in trucking. I don’t get the full rate my boss charges of course, but my services cost $200/hr.

sounds like brokers are the problem f them

Brokers need to be regulated

Why doesn't the Union organize and "fight" instead to hire DC lobbyists with Union dues for total trucker income tax as just One low 8 percent flat tax on trucker yearly income. Instead of 40 to 50 percent current total taxes, just use union "dues" to lobby Congress for a way lower tax rate. The "fight" should not be Union versus Mgmt. Instead the fight is Union versus Congress to lower taxes. These so called wage increases will be eaten up with dues and higher inflation while cutting overall demand for UPS services. Sean O. got played and duped by Congress for not blaming Congress for the high rates. 8 percent flat tax and the Union drivers would gain immense wealth instead of the illusory "wins" in current contract that will be devastated by higher taxes, union dues, and inflation. Sean O. fooled the Union workers and folded like a cheap suit in not demanding a low 8 percent flat tax!!!!

That other people take the cheap rates in Phelan service but it’s getting tougher and tougher.

Name your price and stand by them. These shippers will have to learn. YOU HAVE TO MAKE MONEY.

Did carriers forget q1-q2 of 2022? When the rates were $5-7/mile? It works both ways

Everyone should shut there trucks down for a week and see what happens...

the broker in this scenarios sounds like a wall street stock broker haha

You can only run so lean, there's a limit to cutting expenses. After that it's time to park it.

There is no end to this because to much saturation in the market, and theirs always a few that will take this cheap freight, thus the sogga continues...when 100s go out of business due to hauling cheap freight maybe their might be some betterment...I guess driving free is the new deal these days. We certainly are all being royally porked when buying groceries, and everything else that's a necessity.

don't accept it no body should accept it. !!!!

On DAT I have loads attempting to broker at $1.05-1.15 a mile. I can only thing this is due to people accepting those rates and causing everyone a headache

They're riding in paid for equipment with no emissions. 😅

should start it from intrastate carrier.

Just wonder how the rates Would be if Canadian trucks stayed in Canada and only moved freight in there own country ??? As the same for Mexico trucks…If your questioning this, just ask how much Canadian owner ops pay for truck insurance, compared to US based owner ops.

That is because people are taking the loads really cheap if everyone stop taking cheap freight then they will pay

It's not a driver shortage they just lower the salaries

Is anyone in charge of protecting us looking into things? Do we have anyone protecting us?

Yeahhhh it's to a point of fixing your truck or paying your rent. Pretty sad these days.

Stop telling people rates are that low. They're not. Just because those rates are posted doesn't mean anyone is hauling it

No Chicago

Surprisingly the broker didn’t hang the phone 😂

Market misconduct just like Market manipulation can take place on any market exchange including but not limited to ride brokers. The security Exchange Commission is tasked with the enforcement of transparent broker operations and license enforcement when it comes to the stock market. Escrow brokers positions that require a licensed from the federal government and they're required to oversee the transaction of property changing titles such as a sail or death of owner. Brokers are supposed to manage these funds between the client and recipient using a money market fund which is regulated by the security Exchange Commission however because they are unlicensed and do not follow any regulations they do not use money market funds and therefore evade a large tax sum

Best idea ever sell truck close authority sell pnuts on corner

It is ridiculous these rates ,, there needs to be a law nothing under 2.50 a mile bec😢 there are expenses that brokers don’t care about and when there are no more trucks that is we the brokers and customers are going to scream for help. There needs to be change and fast 😢

Yeap I'm Transition to a broker soon..Etc

I took the local job at home being home every night and ignored a brokers in the dispatchers when they called my phone

Why would a dispatcher need to sign the rate con?

Large carriers drove rates down then complain 😂

Cut out the middle man.

Gas prices included 😂

Soo the brokers are taking the markups?

Become your own broker. Run your trucks on waste vegetable oil or hydrogen and make your own fuel

“Leave it.”

Simple stop taking cheap loads. If everyone stopped doing it the prices will go up

So dont be an owner operator, got it 👍

Find yourself a cartel contract… pays well and the freight is steady

Hell naw! Everyone need to say no!

Ads income on the trucks.

So I see a lot of minimum rate comments should there also be a maximum rate?

We need a dispatch packt to mever go below 2$😂

Don't take it.

Set the rate of commission for the brokers

I had to pull something at 1.55 a mile just ti get put of Florida 🙄

Keep taking the cheap freight. When you go bankrupt, the number of trucks go down. Then the rates will bounce back.

I parked my truck today and done with this BS

Quit running for brokers. They literally took 65% of load pay last year. Tell them you want to see the negotiated rate comminutions between them and the shipper

You know as I sit here reading these comments everyone saying they don't carry cheap loads I mean obviously somebody taking it because there getting covered ridiculous they made this high dollar industry into a welfare industry

Who is making the money ?

I live in New Jersey, are you guys hiring

How do I become a broker?

Brockers are leeches on our backs.

National strike will fix it 😊

Shut it down. They don't deserve our services

Hi renon I need to learn how to calculate rates

I don't even have my cdl yet, but I'm gonna say this: You gotta be pretty stupid to accept these ridiculous rates, and you are doing your fellow truckers a disservice by accepting them. You can't possibly be making money at $1.50 a mile.

The country is dying around you. It starts like this.

I cant wait till the tables are turned im going to screw these brokers so hard

Kick brokers

oh wow !!!!!!

I've seen 0.97 cpm

How bout this just putting it out there let the government handle the truck industry just like they do the military problem solve
