Retired Broker here. I agree that most load brokers are less than honest and are not above lying. They do not know how to grow a business. I specialized in flat bed, over size, and overweight shipments. From the start, I did everything I could to establish a good working relationship with the carriers, which included paying an amount that would ensure their solvency earlier than the standard 30 days and sometime before I got paid. Without good, reliable, safe carriers I had nothing to sell. Customers come and go, but good carriers are rare and valued. I would always side with the carrier if waiting time, excess space or weight claims were substantiated by the carrier with paperwork or scale receipts. My customers paid for permits on a cost plus basis which went to the carrier. The credit granted to me by the carriers was not the credit I granted to my customers. I paid the carriers even if I didn't get paid - only happened once in 25 years. I did make a reasonable amount of money and looking back - it was easy and I didn't have to lie or cheat to do so, and wouldn't.

Truckers, for the most part, are the honest ones. Brokers, shippers, parts suppliers and dealers are the dishonest players. Oh. Don't forget our wonderful government agencies overseeing the industry. They're probably the MOST dishonest.

Try to get anyone to do a simple install job of an appliance the big box company didn't finish installing because you had to replace the pipe it was attached to is like pulling your good teeth out of your mouth with a pair of plyers because it's either no priority or they give you a million excuses as to why they can't do it and you end up right back at where you started with the big box retailer ending up being the one who put you through all the hell to begin with that ends up finishing the job they didn't want to do after you spend a week or more wrangling with the shipper house who thinks you're nothing but a waste of their time and your appliance sits in the garage still not installed.

I went through a broker to get an independent to haul something for me. He gave the driver a different price than what I had already credit-carded to pay the order. So the driver was at my house holding the load for the difference. We called the broker together and he told us "he didn't care" and hung up. I ended up paying the difference for the load. Price of a lesson. Also, the interstate commerce commission took my complaint and details and that broker is no longer in business. Glad your customers were real gentlemen.

I was trucking in the early 90's pulling a refer . We delivered a load in Seattle,Wa. We were told to head to Wenatchee. When we got there still no load . We got a hotel room for one night. The next day we had a load of apples going to Boston but by the time we got it, the broker had gone home (noon time p t). The shipper called him for the information he needed and the broker he was home and he was not going back to work. The shipper asked if we had a room and we said no that everything was booked up. So he made a phone call and got us a room for the night (a sueit) . Double king beds. The delay in loading cast the broker detention time plus at least 300.00 for the room.

Yet, especially over here in Europe in places, everyone is acutely aware of diesel prices being $2.47 per liter. So that's $9.33/gallon!!! Low cost freight huh? 👀can't see it anywhere no matter how hard I'm looking.

If ya want excitement trucking will give you lots of it. It’s nice you usually don’t have to work with the load brokers yourself. When they start to take the profit away from the carrier it’s time to stop using that broker. Anywho great video showing what goes on behind the scenes when taking a load brokers load.

We were not registered as a carrier to haul hazardous materials so told the broker unload it "just drive the back roads and dodge the scales" Told them to pound sand you picked the wrong driver to get this done we ended up hiring a company to unload it off me on the road side into a box truck and put it in storage what happened to it i have no godly idea

But as we know the trailer you have has the raised area in front where the king pin is so the load couldn't have been moved up more closer to the cab of the semi, and that extra bit was not put inside the big hallow part of the crusher.. So how it was put on the trailer there is no way it was 30 feet.
