My Brain Cant Process What and How Freight Brokers Are Bidding 🤯 You HAVE to see these emails 

Sounds like the trucking industry would be better off if the brokers were to get out the trucking industry. Carriers deal directly with shippers.

Brokers rarely shares with carriers. I've seen some loads on which shipper pays 3 times more then the carrier gets.

Note to brokers bidding on freight: IF you have never owned a truck, don’t bid on a job. You can’t bid on something you can’t do yourself, nor have ever done! Where is the logic? Honestly, these people have no idea the expenses a Carrier has. Buy a truck and Trailer, get your registration, inspections, ELD, IFTA, insurance, 2290 HEAVY TAX, provide all the maintenance, Tires, UCR, and hire a driver. Stuff just makes no sense. Also, I have a question? Everything in the entire USA has raised in price, all of the above mentioned criteria of owning a truck has gone up, Why has our pay gone down?! WHY, WHY, WHY?! Also, everyone gets to set their own rates. Mechanics, Tow Truck, McDonalds, maintenance, Road side, Insurance companies , why don’t we have that right! I’m so tired of this cheap freight, I could start a movement!!!

My favorite line I hear brokers say is “I have a regular carrier on this lane that does it for this rate every time.” If it was a good rate they wouldn’t fall off the load

Hi Miranda. I don’t know how you find the time to make these videos to share some of your knowledge with us, but I definitely enjoy and appreciate them. Have a nice weekend!

This needs to reach some one much bigger than us viewers …. Brokers have no regulations.. always trying to rip a carrier off

Had a broker ask me to help him out to haul a GA to CA load because he underbid the lane. told me he would be willing to lose $400 on it if I took it. I told him look, you loose 400 I lose $1000. I forget the exact numbers, but it was sad.

There are too many people in the industry that have zero knowledge how much it takes just to operate a truck going down the road. Not including the driver.

One of the drivers quit a few days ago and said “ I’d rather go be a home attendant”.

Thanks for keeping us updated with the trucking industry. Keep up the good work.

You are doing a great job Miranda, your videos are very interesting and sometimes funny too !! Thanks 👍

Hey Miranda, I know it's not in your wheelhouse, but if you really want to get your nickers in a knot, check out the ignorance in the oversize load category.

Last week I saw a flat bed load from Denver to CA, 48000lbs' .26 per mile! I called because I figured it had to be a typo. Nope, the broker legitimately believed he could move it for that! Insane😂

Great information

It sounds to me like TQL rates but the only different is that TQL will take 14k and only pay $4500 🤣🤣🤣 if you don't believe me you check they rates, always the same dollars per miles every time like all shipper paying the same and if the load doesn't move they will raise it even thousands

Brokers in trucking should be illegal. The shipper puts on the board what they have to ship and the carriers\owners operators search board to deliver. Why should there be a middle man?

Carriers laugh because they can't cry anymore😂 definitely using that

Great vid

Really need March to be better. Stressed out with truck bills, just paid ifta , don’t know how much longer to deal with this BS. Oh and got a 6month old at home. Something needs to change

Gr8 Vid & Explanation!!!!!!🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊

Ooohhhh yeah John has more wild examples. I follow him.

Dallas/Fort worth was doing great for a couple of days moving locals for 350 - 450 and then… it fell off a cliff. $200 and sometimes 10loads on DAT. Bit concerning. I don’t move unless it’s $350 minimum. Rather sit and wait for someone to get desperate and move 2 loads than move 4-5 and make the same amount. Crazy.

Thanks LEEETTTSSS GOOOO!!!

15 years owner operator, i will be giving up on trucking this coming week,this is getting to out of hand

This is just tragic all around. I just reluctantly booked a water load from Bloomfield, CT to Hannaford Foods in Wappinger Falls, NY 110 miles for $600. After reading the reviews at the reciever for long waits I'm 50/50 on cancelling. It doesn't leave til Sunday so that's plenty of time. But I'm just exhausted with everything trucking 🙄🙄

You are Genius!

If you put 100$ on the sidewalk. And someone steals it. Who's fault is it? Bottom line. Know your numbers. Do not accept less. Because to do so is to basically give away your money. If a broker tells me that's all he's got in it. And it doesn't meet my #. It doesn't get booked. It's not my problem that he doesn't know the numbers in business. But it will be my problem if I allow them to get me to pay to work. They do not dictate your expenses. So why are you letting them dictate your income. Speaking to anyone booking in the trucking business

F these shippers and brokers. I have a 26ft box truck and always book a full load for the best rate I can. Most of the time I always have 13ft or 6ft of space and I always book another shipment going that way not caring if the broker said dedicated load. Gotta teach them who’s running the show

Miranda, have you heard the big brother trial that's going on in North Carolina. It's a camera to catches truckers who's not wearing seat belts. It's already a fmcsa rule in Australia.

Thanks

You forgot the Banks in this story, which actually made possible all this craziness. Based on the great numbers from 2020-2021 they financed everyone, leading to this huge increase in truck capacity. I am wondering how they are doing with getting their money back from the carriers that increased their businesses 5-10 times in one year.

Hm, It would be interesting to know how to negotiate with a broker, if, for example, someone other happy to book a flatbed load from LA CA to the east, for example 2000 miles trip for 1.6 per mile. $1.8 per mile such a load won’t hang even a couple of minutes in load board.

FOMO is even a real thing when it comes to these bidding wars. There should always be a floor of how low you can go, and decency dictates that if you are taking a load at 1.50 to then turn around and sell at 1.25 to a carrier you are contributing to destroying and at some point disrupting the flow of commerce and transportation. The invisible hand only works when all the parties are smart, well informed and act in good faith. If I find myself hauling at a loss and I don’t see any market improvement I would happily return my truck to the bank and more trucker drivers and brokers would need to realize that is better to make no money than to operate at a loss beyond a point of no return.

As soon as you said, nitroglycerin, I knew it was gonna be good

It’s crazy times we’re in.

THATS CRAZY FOR REAL

Uber and circle logistics outsource their loads alot. Because circle logistics credit score is low

I sure can appreciate the guy sense of humour keep it up and just keep screwing with these idiots

I'm not a fan of Rogers but this is pretty accurate experience. Brokers like these provide bids to shippers who then take those rates seriously and demand that you meet or beat those rates in order to get the load. I've had shippers demand that I match rates at $0.70 per mile from Washington to Arizona for a dedicated Van @ 30,000 lbs. because of stuff like this. It's also what skews data from Truckstop and DAT because these loads are being posted out at rates that no carrier is going to take. Of course it wastes everybody's time while the shipper figures out that their load will never actually get picked up and then throws it back out there - demanding, of course, that he get the rate, or near the rate, that was previously quoted to them despite it being complete B.S. So yeah, if you're a carrier or broker looking to build your own book of business, this is one of the many "fun" aspects of that side of the industry.

We need 100k carriers to leave in order for things to get better

2002, 9 cars to socal & 84-94 cents a gallon, 6000.00$/ 6000.00$ back to s.e.. All below interstate 40.

I’m new in the industry and I’ve seen some outrageous bids. I have declined some loads because of this smh

These rates make me sick. Today broker said he feels sorry for me because i asked 3k for 1400 miles for 44k pounds load 😂 TX - OH

This video is not the first time I have heard brokers can take a 30%. I am no logistics expert but that seems very high, especially considering the risks and expenses carriers take. I’m just sayin.

We don’t know where we have to go because the market is so bad

It is a negotiate business. But sometimes take a load that fits our Trucks/Drivers macht. But 99% give it a try...if you have good standing grounds to get more🤷‍♂️.

The way things are going I'm not going to retire till I'm 80. Don't have a good weekend have a great weekend !!! 😵‍💫🍺

Hey love. Cam you do a video for us new guys? I am trying to see what price I should take a load for. San bernardino to Vegas Nevada power only Also San bernardino to phoenix. Have a wonderful day beautiful

I LUV HEARING about the Comedy 😃 show going on. Luv Spaz

Problem is fuel and other expenses aren’t calculated guys don’t factor in fuel first to determine the profit after these guys are running 1000 miles for $2000 after fuel and factoring that’s a $1200 profit after 2 days of trucking depends on how much fuel usage Its sad that brokers and carriers have ruined the industry just to book a load it all starts with defrauding carriers and down to the carriers that are cutthroat I don’t feel sorry for anyone who has ever out of business especially brokerages they’ve stole their fair share

It’s a wave, some carriers and brokers will definitely go Under soon

They don’t do Landstar like that

I think co-brokering is just as bad as double brokering as long as carriers keep taking the loads, there is never gonna be any changes as far as the nose divong rates are concerned.

Miranda i love You😍

Saw ur video on per diene. And want to know what company do u work for

The people that i think are Really driving the price down is people or co that set up as dispatchers . They are not a carrier , broker ,or shipper just someone booking loads .

Miranda❤️

5:09 maybe that’s the big part of the problem?!?

I always try and throw $100-$50 even on a load I will take at price they posted. Just shoot your shot but be nice about it and a lot of the time I get that extra $50 bucks

Imho the problem is o/o have lost all our power. We cant all just shut down for 2 weeks to get rates up. The mega carriers will snap the loads up and haul it for peanuts because the foriegn drivers they hire will work for that and think they are rich. The best way to end thos crap is to take away the mega carriers ability to self insure. That alone would cause them major problems when they have to report crashes to an insurance company. They would be shut doen in 3 months. The BS best in class safety record a certain mega carrier claims carry's is ONLY because they self insure, and dont report how bad thier record REALLY IS. Do away with the double standard and things will fix itself

I quit 10 months ago with all the OTR experience I have I got a local taxi job for $65,000 a year. Better off more enjoyable. My differential blew one time $18,000 , ECM $4,000, tows for co drivers mistakes $2,000 sometimes. I quit and I work part time

I was pulling a specific load from a broker out of West Texas. I gotta decent rate and pull several loads for them over the year. Then all of a sudden this broker lost that freight. They were under bidded by another broker. I saw these loads again by a different broker on DAT. They wanted me to pull the load for quite a bit less than I've been making. Turns out they bid it too low when they took it from the other broker. They lost their ass nobody would pick up the loads for them. They were having to pay people to pick them up more than they were getting paid. Lol Service them right Unbelievable what these brokers try to get you to pull freight for.

Please show me where in any FMCSA regulation co brokering is Mentioned. This is nothing more than their way of skirting around double brokering. Just like having you sign your rights to CFR 49 371.3 Away in their carrier packet which is also illegal

There's a lot of shippers that are super cheap because cheap brokers like tql taught them to be so . But yes some shippers make really good money by having brokers take their loads cheap and then push carriers who don't know their operating costs to take the cheap loads. Best way for.brokers and carriers is for brokers to go to their carriers and ask for their advice where they need to bid on the freight . They should avoid all low ball carriers and take the average of what's left and bid this way because this will always avoid brokers taking cheap freight . Tql doesn't do it this way , they go and take loads for low rates and then take 30% of the load and wait for cheap uneducated carriers to take the cheap stuff.

hi how i can contact to you? thanks and regards

Listen to me please brothers the brokers post very cheap loads on the board then you think some dumb trucker takes it not so the broker simply makes it look like a trucker took it and the broker posted load covered not so again the whole thing was bogus they want you to think truckers are taking these cheap loads and they are not it’s a game believe me I know my ex father-in-law was a broker it’s a mind game (don’t fall for it stay strong)💰💰💰

so if they bid on our offers we should be able to grab those loads and cancel them if we get even a dollar more , if they want to play supply and demand we can always say there is another client that pays more , when they say , not all brokers are bad , they are indeed , they are the problem of this industry being on the verge of collapsing

Ready?. Let's go!!! Algorithm algorithm algorithm algorithm

BINGO!!!!!!

Maybe all the broker should buy a rig and try hauling for what they are offering. LOL

Hi

We're all to blame. Everyone in this industry dances with the devil, only some more than others. We will never go direct with shippers. Brokers are a necessary evil. The gift of gab, knowing the industry like the back of their hand. Grandmama makes the best shrimp gumbo ever. But for a banquet, I'm going to need a sous-chef.

For Hazmat 😂🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Too many brokers just like there's too many carriers

a place i used to work once tried to give me a hazmat load going from New Jersey to Florida for a little less than that ($4250), plus a blind side back in off the street at the receiver. L M A O.

Nah, the brokers bid low because they know some carries who don't know their cost per mile or how to run a successful trucking business will take the load for dirt cheap.

Great video! 4500 lmfao

Craziness

i see a lot of carriers here saying they not run cheap and they actually are 😂😂😂!!! common i am the Owner distpacher and driver on my company!!! i see the load board cheap loads and the fastest way they go… if you ask the broker for money and they say no…. bro just move on, but no those indians or cubans take it saying cover the diesel destroying the lane!! that is why i try always to be in contact with the brokers directly

So guys ,ponder this info ,many brokers ,and dispatcher s in eastern companys in Chicago's land ...have a master's degree in psychology from their universities... recruiter s,dispatchers,safety men,are skilled to manage the person...while American companies are educated in logistics to manage the logistics of the freight...guess which ones are better liars???

I’ll tell all you guys. Invest your profits so you don’t have to rely on freight.

It’s the same story different day. I suggest finding a different path in life.

👍🙏

I get a kick out of people with not much experience wants to get on here and teach, i don't understand where you see what brokers are quoting, and what you are preaching is not every broker.. and most of brokers do not make 30%

That day will come when the tables turn yes this has been bad but it will turn it has to you can only run so many carriers into bankruptcy or just plain quitting,all any of the brokers are just doing is cannibalize what makes their money like it or not trucks move freight and at some point companies, owner operators will realize truth,the power falls on they key thing that can affect both shipper and broker bottom line that's the one who dose the work!

I thinks shippers are still paying good if not way better then normal. If not how are the shelves prices not coming down?

TQL is to blame

TQL

Algorithm is not working on the phone but I 😢

Any and every cheap load moved in the US, is just making rates worse! Stop moving cheap freight!!

Broker doesn’t have driver they think the owns us unbelievable

Hey Miranda games is changing big time the blame game is always going point the finger 👉

Maybe 12k

Mayb tan Indian Brokers

I hope ALL BROKERS GO OUT OF BUSINESS!! They are one of the main reasons trucking has gone downhill!! The other reason is the carriers taking this extremely cheap freight! I run local and it’s hard to get $4 a mile on loads these days. I’m seeing 200 plus miles for $400-$500 dollars! That’s insane! Insurance has went up and fuel is not the best and these low rates will put you in the poor house immediately! It’s hard for me to talk to a broker bc I can’t stand to hear those lies they tell. I end up losing my cool with them and next thing you know we can’t do business bc i was speaking my mind on this nonsense!

That is ridiculous. Hope I as a new authority don't get screwed. Have to be above my CPM or not taking the trip. Btw I really appreciate your content from old to new videos keep it up.

😂😂😂😂💯💯

Bidding drives profit down

Your a really gorgeous lady ❤️

That’s crazy how they don’t care about safety and values of the truck driver smh 🤦 Enjoy the weekend beautiful 😉
