Truckstop Load Board Executive Exposes The Truth About Load Boards To All Truck Drivers 🤯 

Brent wanted to give new owner operators a free trial. partners.truckstop.com/l25eeyhjgk75 Disclaimer**** Use it for Free for a month but make sure to cancel if you don't like it. Don't want you to get charged for next month. Could be a good opportunity to play with the program as a company driver.

Key word he said was “ I never drove a truck “ which means he doesn’t know how it actually feels to waste your life away only getting by

Don’t let brokers post loads more than 24hrs in advance. They fish for cheap trucks for weeks and won’t budge on rate till hours before the load has to move

Brokers are criminals

Brokers are crooks

Load boards allow brokers like TQL or Watco Supply or others to manipulate the rates by posting loads that don't exist .

Listening to someone who never operated a truck but telling us what we need to do is diabolical…

Load boards are feeling the pressure now. They will be the next to fail.

No, 3rd party BROKERS

Whaaattt???? What he Talking about??? Broker takes 15%??? 15???? Where is from this guy? From what reality? He still believe in pink pony and elfs😂?

DON’T rely on load boards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, Go deal with shippers. I have 1 box truck and 3 local BILLION dollar shippers. They keep me rolling. They know me by name and call me directly. They see me daily and weekly. You have to talk to the right people in these big companies and that might be the most challenging part.

Why u let scamers posting loads?? Even after claims u dont bann them

Truckstop here's how you can help carriers, Have the brokers post how much they charge the shippers to move their shipments

Brokers take min 25% .. He knows that . He said 15%. He just lost my trust. Every one knows it's 25% standard what a lie

The truckers dream is dead. It doesn't matter how you talk to brokers; they don't want any relationship with carriers.

Trucking is dead. It will never be what it once was two to three decades ago. Get rid of brokers and things may get better.

I sat through a 40 minute, one in one interview with Renu Zunjarwad at the Mats 2024 show. I explained the issues I have with the board. The biggest issue is reporting brokers that are not doing right. The CEO slipped up in this video and said, "To protect their brokers." That is who they really care about. The brokers supply the bulk of the profit they make so they worry more about the broker. The process for reporting a broker is way too complicated. In fact, the report option is no longer in the mobil app. You must go to the website on your computer. This company does not care to fix this either. I pulled my phone out and I showed Renu some loads that had as many as 8 different companies listing them in the load board. I also let her see that Admiral Merchants changes the pickup locations by as much as 150 miles to inflate the rate per mile to con drivers into picking the load. This company only cares about the brokers.

I blame truck drivers for flaunting the money. Lots of the should’ve stfu and saved that money

Two pick two drop loads. Broker charges each shipper full shipping cost. Broker pays carrier the cost to move one load and 50 dollars for additional drop pay. Broker takes 75% profit.

This guy sounds like a politician. States the obvious but has no real solutions. Sounds like damage control.

All I heard was Charlie Brown’s teacher talking🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Nobody is in this industry for someone. Every man is in it for themselves.

We need the Broker Transparency act!

I had truck stop. But I do not have it anymore. When I firstgot it, I was having trouble getting into it so I called app to find out what was going on and how to do it. I got told ask another trucker. He didn't have time to babysit anybody and he hung up on me. But as I'm concerned truck, stop load board. Aint any better than any other load board out there? Just after your money and that's what they do

He can run his mouth try and scare everyone.The tide will turn.He can poor mouth all day long.The tide will turn.

That executive has no idea what he’s talking about 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If he really want to help he should drive 3 months minimum

They don’t give a darn about single truck independent owner operators. They only care about the mega carriers and the brokers. I’ve tried having a conversation with them about some key issues and they only let you talk to a secretary. The person that’s supposed to oversee your account never makes an effort to contact some customers to ask questions or answer questions of concern.

O/O making $75000 go drive for a company. Thats shtt. My .02 owning the truck you should be 150k plus after everything is paid minimum.

Drayage problems 1. Railroad internal customers have priority. 2. Equipment shortage. 3. Poor maintenance on rail chassis. 4. Railroad delays. 5. Railroad is a monopoly in many areas. 6. Companies afraid of the Railroad reprisal. 7. Brokers want the cheapest rate which usually hurts the drivers and quality of service. I could go on and on.

😮Spamming the same load multiple times . Some with Spamming the same load 50 times. Should only put 1 or 2 the most or include in information have multiple loads. Double brokering should get the boot from the load boards.

Truck stop has the same loads most other load boards have,DAT to me is the best load board,but that’s just my opinion

I've told truckstop a bunch of times quit letting brokers like TQL post the same load several times, inflating the numbers in certain markets. Also you need to have a feature that let's you know which markets are coming back to your home. So you can go there. I dropped my ts service after 10 years of being with them just a few months ago.

BY Law whoever you get your load from has to disclose how much they are getting it for . A lawyer can subpoena them. If they dont pay you what you sighned on the contract you get money back. Ive heard of drivers being told that the fuel surcharge is included in the rate, but by law you have to seperate fuel surcharge from line haul. Imagine how much is owed to the driver. You need to get a lawyer who knows about fuel surcharges and also who knows about contracts. There are laws that makes these people transparent.

They need to get rid of the different levels. It should be one class, one board. You shouldn’t have to pay more money to get instant results. Need to ban and remove brokers with crappy credit. Also make it mandatory for brokers to add all the information so you’re not having to call 29 people to find out if the load works for you and miss the good one

It’s always the ones that never drive a truck that feed you bullshit

If I want my grass cut I call the neighborhood grass man. I don’t call tql to call the grass man for me at a cut. Plain and simple need to do away with middlemen but you need your own trailer for that Type of business. Cash upon delivery needs to come back no more factoring. I need to get paid once the paperwork is signed

I'm tired of dealing with brokers because ALOT of them try to beat you and some LIE and try to put Freight Guards on you and that's not cool...

Truck stop used to have a search for the highest rates posted for the day. Bring that back. Example: if you got on the load board at 1 pm. You could search for the highest rates posted from 7am to 1pm.

Remember guys HE said He has the best pencils pusher non-regulated job in the world. ...I been driving for 24 years and have been an owner operator for 12 years. I remember when owner operator was making 5k in 2004 with fuel price lower than today... the owner operator today makes 2500 to 3700 per week( before fuel)with higher cost of living but DAMM MEN he thinks we're stupid, he needs to get a CDL.. all I hear that he is saying is work harder with electronic log yeah sir.. you just like the Demorats you been exposed. I own a trucking company out of Houston. I have 8 trucks, and it is hard for me to pay my insurance every month, and my trucks stay running. I want him to sit with me in my office and tell me what I'm doing wrong because i dont even own a fancy car? The pandemic rate was just fear 3 to 4 dollars per mile living in Texas but notice everyone else went up on their charges like fuel cost , groceries, housing, daycare, McDonald's etc..and he sit in his fancy house with a beautiful background telling you. NO DONT EXPECT TO MAKE MORE PER MILE.. PLEASE YOUNG MEN AND WOMAN DON'T BECOME A TRUCK DRIVER.. HELL, EVEN D.O.T KNOWS WE NOT MAKING ANY MONEY THAT’S WHY YOU GETTING PULL OVER AT EVERY SCALE IS LIKE THEY WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH BROKERS.

Brokers make more than 30% lets stop laying to the american people, get rid of brokers.

I hate to play devil's advocate but this guy has spilled the most unadulterated truth and real time critical situations in this crazy market. But most importantly how you can save your trucking company. Most importantly; how to stay afloat in this logistics industry. It ain't easy. Salute to all thats out there helping this country run smoothly 💯👍🏿

@Mutha trucker, thank dor the show. Please help us about that. Most of the Sudan companies. We need to report that to Fmcsa the first 10week they taking $250. Total 2500 they said they reimburse that money after 45 days when we quite and plus also our last paycheck they keep . Totally illegal.

This guy don’t know what he’s talking about…150k year for owner operator - complete delusional… even if u would work 360days a year, working without weekends cheating logbook, working 100h+ week just hypothetically u would make 100k max after all expenses…. But I don’t know no one who can survive 100h weeks all year…so it’s impossible… Meanwhile travel nurse make 170k clear 36h week … complete fiasco for truckers… Brockers make 35-40% not 15%…

Basically just said to get a new career, that it is not coming back. Idk.

Truck Stop began showing FAKE MILES LAST 2-3 WEEKS LOAD BOARD IS SHOWING FAKE SHORT MILES , but if u will check it's can be difference up to couple hundred miles

I drove commercially for a few years. I owned a small independent coffee shop where I roasted my own coffee for a few years. I was one of those customers that everyone, except a few hates: I would have only one pallet of green beans once a month from my distributor. Neither myself or my distributor could fulfill my shipping order without a broker and combined small loads. I don’t know what to say, but in my 1,100 sq. ft. coffee shop, I could only store 1,500 pounds of green coffee at a time. So there has to be some sort of balance. And before anyone says anything, sometimes I would order from the east coast and sometimes from the west coast, and I live in Nevada.

Load boards need to list Hazmat, Tanker and fridge you need over $100k Cargo insurance. Start diversifying

Great clip, I have had the hacker emails from FMCSA, from spammers trying to get business, loads, etc. I almost got gotten on a scam load from the load board. Not gonna lie it hurt my pride getting scammed like that. Please keep up this king if info. It MAKES a difference bro.

If you own your truck and trailer you can just can exist in trucking not making money 150 k a year gross ain’t no money just paying bills

Brokers are Thieves with a license 😢😢😢

Broker average chunk from carriers is not less than %20 from the whole RC 9:16 and brokers like TQL and some other military brokers take more than %30-44 of the carriers RC

He said brokers get 15%. How can he guarantee that’s all they’re getting?

I don't understand why everyone talks about 5-6$ /mile without saying how many mile is that run and how much time they lost running it. I can get a $5/mile any single day but i turn it down because it's a 50mile run that takes 24hr to finish what good do get out of it??? Here is the math why $5/mile does not work if you don't have at least 250miles on it because 50miles×$5/mile =$250 : 24hr=$10.41/hr for truck,trailer and driver !!!! You can make more then $10/hr driving uber with small car. Comon people you need to know your cost basis and appreciate your time.

Load Boards are Pretty Much Usless if you are alowing anyone and everyone to post the same Load and then posting the Loads that are a insulting for the pay verses mileage verses all the BS that goes with such Loads then the pick up and dropping Facilitys that don't Load or unload in 2 hours or Less these Loads and Brookers should not ever be aloud to post any such Loads then the pay Game quick pay and other BS that these Brookers Want U to play these People should only receive 5 percent of the Proven rate to the carrier so the actual carrier that does the WORK with the Equipment get the most Value of the Pay for the LOAD or better yet just eliminate the Brookers and Let the Manufacturer deal with the Carriers directly so the Pay to these So Called Brookers will have to find another Business to Corrupt And Steal from. This is the reason why they do not want to Share what the Manufacturer are paying so they can make Bank instead of the people actually doing the work with the investment in the equipment not saying that the Brookers have no investment You know fancy buildings cars desks so fourth they Never ever need these types of expensive to pass on to the Carriers by Not paying correctly if a Brookers should continue to do business which I rather not have them anyway they should have a bare minimum office for there bare minimum efforts that they produce and Take the most money from these practices. STOP using these and all Brookers let them find a Real job No one needs them........

Answer to question 1: Stop trying to get rich off of truckers. I was lied to by the rep to get me to sign up for truckstop, telling me the average rate is from $5 to $7/mile June-2024. As a new trucker, I felt I was taken advantage of by giving me a "deal" at $110/month.

Make the broker put all details on your hr post. We waste too much time calling them just to find out it’s not going to work.

Made For the shippers just for them to screw the drivers! Remember this people, we are just as bad sitting around letting these things happen be vocal

Once he said he has never driven a truck, i heard all i needed to hear. I finished watching video at that moment.

Costs a dollar fifty a mile to run a truck .. they want to pay dollar eighty to move freight .. so that means you are willing to work for 30 cents a mile ..

Stop taking 50% of the money off the top.

Make a minimum rate per mile just to be able to post loads on your load board !!

Fellow carriers, like the brokers, we have a very important tool on the loadboards. It's the block button, the equivalent of Do Not Use (DNU) that brokers use to keep carriers from hauling future loads. If we collectively use the feature that keeps us from seeing certain broker's loads, it'll eventually cause their freights not to move and get them out of business.

Trucking is the only industry where everything goes against the truck drivers. Who is going to survive in these environments?

Great mutha trucking video , thanks man definitely some good info

U know what folks. Screw this guy n the crocked brokers. Im about to be a broker myself for flatbed hauling. Ya'll will know its me when u start seeing flatbed loads being posted for 5-6$ per mile pretty soon. Ima piss off all the crocket brokers and will make them raise their prices up very soon otherwise ill have thousands of carriers that will switch to hauling loads thru me instead..

Stop use Truckstop couple months ago, cause they are showing loads later than other. Sometimes it’s more than hour

The broker makes about 15% ? For staying at home... Outrageous

I listen to him every Monday on Let's Truck Kevin Rutherfords show

I can tell you raising my monthly plan does not help improve the truck stop app platform .. I cancelled my subscriptions with truck stop literally on the 22nd of this month it’s do to cancel and I’m going to DAT for raising my rate!!!

3pls affect everybody. Screw em all

rant alert; Trucking is way too fragmented and broken to be saved. NOBODY sticks together. To prove this to myself I did an experiment. I'm an hourly paid tanker diver, there are only 5 hazmat tanker drivers in our company. When tanker loads are slow I used to switch out to a flatbed or dump bucket BUT at a 5 dollar on the hour cut. I got sick of getting taken advantage of as well as 1 of my coworkers who did the same job as me. We decided to start turning down the lesser paid stuff and demand our normal hourly rate. Company was whining about it for sure. We held our ground, the 2 of us. Well just this last week guess who was running a dump bucket... Not me, my coworker..he caved in. He's not hard up either nor am I. I called him out on it and yep it affected our friendship. ONLY 2 MEN...in the SAME COMPANY!! I will not give in. Other guy did. So 2 men in the same company...And we wonder why these companies completely run roughshod hand over fist on their drivers. 2 men each with 25+ years experience and 10+ years each in the current company.

Loads posted should be no less than $2.00 a mile. If brokers are posting anything less they need to be investigated or that should be mandatory for them to post.

We left because we couldn't search anymore the way we used to. Site got to hard to work with.

If they really wanted to help drivers then they wouldn’t charge to use truck stop!!!!!

Brokers make 4 dollars a mile. Trucks get 2 a mile. There nothing but scammers

BS 😮😮😮😮😮😮

I'm sorry but this guy sounds more for the shipper than the carrier .

Stop giving one load out to 5 trks. I got to one and there was 3 trks to get same load.

1) On the app, make it possible to delete old or unwanted searches. 2) Had an incident booking a load with a scammer inn Ukraine using a legitimate broker’s MC over a week ago. Reported it on the website. Response was close to a week. You got to shut down those accounts on the same day.

Come on Alex you never asked him about the tough question what about double brokering why can't you ask him that you don't have the cojones

I use this platform to cover loads sometimes. Nothing really changed all this years with truckstop loadboard. They raised the he price but service didn’t improved. What they need to do is to get rid of the piece of 💩 brokers that don’t pay on time and have horrible reviews. Start there.

They know that Truckstop is the largest spot market platform for this industry. They don’t give a rats ass about bad reviews because businesses still have to operate and they will still use TS either way.

You can start by answering the phone in your office

Load board sites are software companies. They offer a service to the trucking industry for people to post trucks and loads, and that's it. In no way are they in the trucking business. They only care about subscriptions.

Truckers all need to just shut down till the brokers all fold or start paying. Demand the fuel surcharge that brokers are keeping and subsidizing their profits. Stop running cheap freight… otherwise this will never change. 1 to 3 truck companies will never sell Direct freight clients

15%! For doing what? Posting loads?!!

Sorry guys, my last comment. Of course he's apart of the logistics gang. But in short, he's just cutting straight to the chase. I will say his numbers as far as freight. But he's speaking collectively. Me personally, i like this interview out of all the MuthaTrucking content I've seen. So refreshing. Big ups my guy!🎯💯👍🏿

How u let people from out of USA posting loads and manage trucking here and a lot of fake addresses from those scammer companies

If I go to the East coast and West..I will Charge what the fuel cost..$

Don't let them post garbage rates.

Been watching for a while.Been independent for 12 years ,load boards are pricing themselves out of business.Posting loads on these boards is a great way to be back solicited and those big brokers have teams than scour your board and destroy good freight.40% of all brokers on these sights are from outside of this country.brokers are building their own load boards making load like these irrelevant and expensive.

Get your own company, you make more $

I think most carriers would accept whatever rates if we knew what the shipper is paying on the load.

Is it possible for the load boards to detect and mitigate or reduce duplicate postings of the same load....out of various other nearby cities all within a radius of each other? So that it looks like multiple in the area but not really all that much as it seems?

I suggest broker can only take 5% profit from the load. Carrier or owner operator can see all the documents from both side. The system is broken. We need to fix it.

Owner ops who NET OUT 75-100k, UMMMM You call that doing very well

Though I agree with good mpg, I also enjoy hometime. I have ran the numbers on my end. I save money driving 740+ miles per day and enjoy more hometime with less hours on the road. Speed vs idle expense becomes a wash. I am in a specialists otr position driving mainly west of the Mississippi. I am an oddity. As of July 5th I have grossed 147k with approx 100days otr. If I ran slower it would add more than 50hrs of drive plus idle time.

Truth of the matter is this.. owner operators hold ya breath. The logistics industry is not set up for you to pump up and drop the MEGALADONS by the wayside. Swallow that pill called pride and be honest with yourself. In this trucking industry; you'll always have someone to make sure you're in "compliance". So pay me my $66k for local/ regional experience and I'll hit the road in times of crisis to help my fellow Americans. Simple 💯💪🏿✅

How. They don't charge what the fuel $.cost
