How Freight Brokers are killing the industry

Well, we all know that most carriers depend  on freight brokers but what we should know is that most of these brokers are taking advantage of our need for them. It is really sad how these brokers are doing everything they can to milk carriers.

Carriers are basically hauling freight for free while the brokers are paying for gas. I can't blame them though. Carriers are allowing freight brokers to take advantage of them, accepting cheap freight and therefore hurting the industry.

It is about time Motor carriers realize that we have to let these brokers know that we are the ones risking our lives to make sure their customers are happy and we need to get the payment we deserve.

Take action with me today and let us put pressure on these brokers to pay us as we should be paid.
