Alex this is Tony bro! Thanks so much for the opportunity to share my story. Keep up the great work bro💪🏽
New trucker here, please make this a new segment on your channel!
@@2ndBattLT Hey Tony, after hitting that 202 loop at 80 mph, where did you end up taking that load to? Bad address though a scam?
@@702trucker I hit the 202 back to I-10 and pulled off at the Pilot on 75th I believe that is. Amazon finally called me back and gave me hell about it, but eventually had me drop it at an Amazon location directly behind the Pilot I was parked at. Don’t think that instance was a “scam” but I do know sometimes Amazon relay gps is on some bs and will route you to absolutely nothing and someone caught on to that.
@@2ndBattLT Amazon should of never gave you hell about anything! Most of the time the people calling back don't even know what's going on where you're at!! I'm trying to pull away from Amazon slowly but surely!!! My trailer will be road ready soon!! Be safe out there!! R you on ig or Facebook?
I've been in the Transportation industry for 35 years. This is crazy. Years ago I had a broker in Slidell, La that got me for 35 loads, and never paid me. Back in that day 20 yrs ago most brokers were at truck stops. This one was at an old 76 truck stop, now a TA. Anyway he was working out of a travel trailer for his office. Well in 1983 16k was a hell of a lot of money. Well after he told me that he needed 60 days to pay me, I sent him into the truck stop to get us a cup of coffee, with a 20 I gave him. I went through his desk while he was gone found all my bills that he was all ready paid for, took them put them into my truck, then backed up to his travel trailer tied a chain to the tounge, and my ICC bumper and headed down I-10 westbound. I scattered that trailer all the way to Texas. Then when I got to Houston I took all the bills to the IRS office had them make xoiox copies and let them go after him. I also gave them copies of the checks he cashed for my loads. I then went to the Interstate Commerce Commission gave them copies of everything too, then I went to the US Marshals office, and gave them copies. By the time they got done with him, he was charged with over 185 counts of theft, hijacking, fraud, all state charges, then he was charged on Federal charges. He got 75 yrs from Louisiana and 50 years Federal. I never did get my money, but it was worth every penny. Thought you might like a real story from an old hound dog. Doc, out.
Best story!
Doc, you’re a boss! Scattered that all the way to Texas, my man.
Wow that was really gangsta lol
Man ppl don’t know what they’re dealing with out here! Lmfao
I'm not a trucker but I do think my employer is cheating me out of overtime pay. Where in Texas would I go to talk to someone about it? I have most of my check stubs
Cancel the brokers!!! Drivers should be able to work directly with the shippers
Agreed.
It should work that way
But these leaches will never be taken off
Facts
100% what he said…☝🏾
Shippers don’t want to deal with truckers when they can have 4 guys handle all of their volume. It took me a long time to be able to get some direct shipper.
I have had someone try to pull my 5th wheel jaw lock, The way to prevent someone from pulling your 5th wheel jaw lock is when you park ANY TIME, Set your trailer brakes first, then pull foward put pressure on the paw then set parking brake. You can't pull it... I've seen this happen..
Also before you pull out, back up with the trailer brakes set so if they did pull your pin, it will relatch, then tug test.
Great info to both of you!! Thanks for sharing guys!! Be safe out there!👍👍
@@Shadowmib good one to know
I check the blue airline gladhand too. Tape or a piece of plastic disables the service brakes on the trailer. There are douchebags that want to see you crash and burn
Or you can do your pre trip inspection like you are supposed to.
Smh, my father drove for J.B. Hunt, was hijacked, beaten, tied up, and robbed of his Walmart load....no one knew where he was for 4 days. They found him in NY, in the trailer and in bad shape...he was supposed to deliver to a South Jersey center. He said they ambushed him when he got out at a truck stop. He drove trucks for over 30 years after the military and he's never had anything like this happen. I'm glad that you were able to get away from this safely.
Oh my God that's awful
UPDATE:
I’m a broker in NC and wolves way actually contacted me about a load I had posted through email. I recognized their name immediately and sold them some story that the freight was a live rhino and they needed to help load it at the shipper. It was honestly hilarious, I’d love to share the email chain given the chance lol.
Please dooo
Do it 😂
A live rhino.......🤔🤔🤔
Good stuff. Imma remember that one! ROFL!!
This is why DOUBLE BROKERING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. AMAZON SHOULD BE THE ONLY BROKER PERIOD.
Double brokering is illegal
@@MyUchan1981 not broker to broker its illegal for carrier to carrier
Then you are absolutely right people should be in jail for shit like that
@@MyUchan1981 no it's not image 100,000 a year in the 90s
Exactly this is my point as I’m hearing liberty commercial I already knew what’s up #double brokageisbad
I do flatbed and was taking a load to a wind mill farm in Oklahoma and some one tried this on me. They were too stupid to realize that the truck and trailer belonged to me.
Damn.. thisnis crazy news...wtf
😊
Now that's funny 😅😅
😂🤣
The most stand up interview I’ve seen, I don’t even drive rigs anymore but this is a lot of game to put people ahead of the bullshit.💯
Respect🤝🏾
I’m really ready to get off the road myself. 22 year’s out here tired of it.
It’s sad how evil this world has become in this technology era. Very few stand up and honest people anymore. So many scams it’s really out of control. And people will take from you without a care or feel of regret. This is what happens when we take God out of our lives. Many may say the believe or whatever but until you actually follow him you will continue to do this evil ass shit. Even if you don’t believe in God it’s about honor and truth but so many have soiled their name and families name by chasing the dollar. Here’s the thing, that stain will always be with you, even when you die and it will be on your family as well. Even with God if you do not repent of your sins then your children will end up worse and deal with the consequences of your actions as well. You can love people or say you do but honestly how many people can you trust in today’s day and age? Barely any. It’s sad but true. We have pushed the chasing a dollar over things that are more important like dignity. Pushed a culture of money over everything and now we see where it’s leading us to, where kids are killing and stealing for it just to buy drugs and clothes to look “cool”. This world has fallen and I don’t feel that it can recover. Especially with people putting God last and their honor being so low that they think it’s cool to be this way. Sad era we live in
Sounds like the "broker" tried to rob the trailer and set up Tony to take the fall for it. Then when Tony didn't fall for the scam, they dragged their heels on verifying cause they don't want to pay out.
Sounds like an organized racket to steal trailers and sell off the contents for cheap.
Quick search on "Wolves Way Inc" comes back with a result in NY and one in OH. Both are owned by the same person and only have one person on staff (ARTAK YEGHIAZARYAN is who it is registered under in both locations). The one in OH is about 4 months old and the one in NY is about 7 months old. I hope that helps with any type of prosecution that you guys can get for it as this type of crap is BS. I have my own issues with Amazon "losing" my orders for a day in the Austin area, but it's nothing compared to this crap. Happy hunting, and be safe on the road.
I'm not a trucker but it sounds like what I've read that you've done great work here... It's sad that these truckers are being scammed... Specially using wolf in the name..
I almost had my trailer taken by another driver at an Amazon in Tracy CA, he said he was picking my up trailer at door xy that was being loaded; I was returning from taking an empty trailer to another Amazon DC in Patterson CA ; returned and park next to my trailer waiting for the green light to hook up when this guy told me he was sent to pick up my trailer… I said to him “That is my trailer, I’m am the owner of it and you will not take my loaded trailer” we went in and spoke to Amazon rep inside and she confirmed I was the one who checked it in…The load was posted on CHRobinson and I believe someone from inside CHR passed on the info to the other driver, he left the facility with out incident but if I would have been may late 10 or 15 minutes my trailer would have been gone for good…. I never given it a second thought since this happened 2-3 years ago but I see that now this fraud is more common…thanks for this informative video interview with your guess!!! Keep up the good work!!👍👍👍💯
Very good info.
Yeah we did away with CHRobinson years ago
Dude is 💯 for spending the time to to put this information out, white collar fraud is exactly what it is, disgusting situation to be in. Be aware out there drivers.
Gotta stop calling it white collar> Scamming is scamming. Don't sugarcoat it up.
It's High Jacking is what it is and should be dealt with by the ICC and, if it were up to me, they would be neutralized by death penalty. See how fast that scam is no longer in practice?
I’m no trucker but ever since the Canadian truckers debacle happened I’ve been interested in what’s going on everywhere for u truckers. Love ALL OF YOU. WITHOUT YOU GUYS WE DONT EAT.
It's not just food we haul...some of us haul logs to the mills to build your homes. Some haul base material for road construction some of us even litterally haul the road to site dump it in a paver to build those roads everyone drives on. Some haul concrete to build you basement or the sidwalks infront of homes and buisnesses. Over the years I've done all of those jobs and currently haul the base and asphalt for streets and highways again. Best job was hauling full houses on a truck and dropping the building materials off with a moffett forklift...sadly it doesnt pay nearly as well as what I do now lol
You mean the one with a protested with the rigs of the big city because they're tired of the tyranny Of their Sissy premiere
I was also wondering if this isn’t retribution fir the Canadian/American truckers protest. Got to wonder ...
We get Canadian truckers all the time coming through our site dropping Lumber loads none of them speak English they're all Middle Eastern and I'm not being racist it's just it's not what I expected hauling Lumber out of Canada especially when you see all the videos of these Canadians fighting so hard and you wonder what's going on
@@robreesor5011 But did you ever have the nads to run a belly-dump?
I retired from trucking 12 years ago and never had this kind of BS happen to me. I almost got hijacked once at Ft Lauderdale airport but ended up driving the guy off the road instead.
Crazy episode. Not a trucker and honestly ran across this channel on accident. Much respect for all the truckers out there and honest earning Americans out there. Fraud has become rampid in so many of our daily lives now, I'm glad to see us fighting back and helping each other. United we stand.
United we stand
Amazon has been aware of this for at least 18 months. I was an area operations manager for Amazon Logistics for 4 years. It's the wild west out there. I personally used to give my cell phone number to drivers because of situations like this. I wanted my regular guys that did runs out of PIT5, PIT2 DPP1 AND DPP7 so they had a direct number that was getting answered 24/7. Before I left Amazon. I made sure our drivers had a phone number to the location they were picking up and going to. I hated hearing that a driver had a hard time getting a human being to talk to!
I can talk for days about crazy scams that I got wind of and experienced myself over the years. Thank you so much for all your hard work and resilience during the pandemic! This country owes you guys a debt! Fixing this crazy rat race would be a good start! 👍
I dropped my trailer at the Jefferson, GA facility and they told me they mistakingly gave it away, they told me it happens often, do you believe it was a simple mistake or they did it on purpose so they can continue using my trailer
When we asked them what company that took it they would give me multiple different names of companies?
@@tdackjordan5873 Basically they found a cheaper driver and never bothered to let you know that the load was reassigned to a new driver. Unfortunately this occurs off site from the SC or FC your picking up from. I managed to block a lot of this from happening by creating the VRID a very specific way that turned it into a priority load without adding on the fee that an emergency load would generate. I guess someone got wise to this and removed that ability from on site management. I will say that the last few months I was there. It got increasingly difficult to get drivers to even bid on Amazon loads for fear of this exact problem. This is going to eventually bite Amazon but they are beginning to train and license their own private CDL fleet. They are known as "Tommy" drivers. So far they are only doing local transfers between sites. This is starting to change now that the pandemic is winding down.
@@adamcantrell7511 Well I picked up a Amazon load from Ontario, CA and I was told to deliver to Jefferson, GA by dropping off the trailer thier, so I called my broker the next day to see if my trailer has been finished instead they tell me someone took it.........my theory was that Thier was a trailer shortage so they are using ours and claiming someone took it, I just hope they return it and recompensate us for time lost
@@adamcantrell7511 what do u do now? Are you still in the same industry?
@@Hitch_49 I had some family issues that I needed to take time off to deal with. That's part of the reason why I left Amazon. Now that I've handled things..I'm planning on getting back in the industry. I have a few perspectives lined up. After dealing with Amazon I've become VERY picky about the next company that I decide to attach myself too. At the end of the day. We're all here to make money too pay the bills and live comfortably.
This channel is a blessing for the modern day trucker they have so much coming at them on every level that they need a channel like this so they can pull together seriously. ✊ ✌️

BROKERS NEED TO BE REGULATED!!!!! 😠
Dude, they’re heavily regulated. The shady brokers prey on the newbs and feebs
@mind games
I understand what you mean. The seasoned companies won’t much even fool with unproven brokers so the new guys take a risk, but they can least sustain a hiccup.
@Mike Studmuffin Lmao, reading your comment I got the sense that you think everything is a conspiracy. lmao WOKE DUDE we get it.
They are regulated by the Dot the same people who write you tickets for ...
WOW...aside from the seedy scammy stuff, there's so much more to being a trucker than rolling up and down the road - the administrative stuff, protection, being aware, consider strategies and contracts, the wear and tear on you physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. - things we, non-truckers, take for granted and would never consider. I will definitely be including you all in this week's prayer session. ~Blessings
LOL
any moron can be a trucker... my brother is one
Dont forget the gov regulation we all deal with.
@@Ulfstigandr we never left the crown
I have to give you guys credit. I started driving with my dad back in the 60s and have watched the trucking industry go down the tubes my whole life. I quit driving a few years ago, dropped my CDL, and then retired. I wish you all the best of luck.
That driver was well spoken and very articulate. What a pleasure to listen to.
What?

@@johnadams3296 Exactly.Jakebrakebill sounds like one of THEM.
Wow
WTF? 🤦🏾♀️ you subhumans make me so sick 🤮
I’ve used liberty commercial before. Guess we need to start making sure the load is booked directly with them. Great info! Thanks for putting a spotlight on brokers
Me too, and I think they only do Amazon. IIRC, brokers aren't supposed to third party Amazon loads.
@@benjaminwhite5593 your right because it would be a double brokage
Im not using Liberty Commercial
I have used Liberty a lot of times, they’re doing good job and paying our detentions layovers, I recommend these guys
@@benjaminwhite5593 Hey, I just seen this video now and freaking out because I ran an Amazon load with Liberty commercial and the broker was some middle eastern dude. Did he pay you? Please let me know
When I'm not driving I turn tracking off on those apps. No one should have that level of access to my person.
Smart lady Nicole!👌
I agree! I mostly pretend the app doesn't work. I can call in, not a problem... and how about you track your freight and not my phone!
Had a guy try to scam me & the company I worked for out of a truckload of computers claiming the truckload was stolen not long after leaving our facility. I do remember the company had to file a police report on the scammer. Unreal the lengths these scammers will go to .
It’s good to see you younger drivers being good truckers.
This situation is getting dangerous. Tony was smart enough to get tf out of two business ambushes. I can see a situation where these become actual ambushes.

If the bad guys put as much work and effort into doing the right thing as they are doing the bad things, they might be surprised as to how well they'll do, plus the bonus, they'll stay out of jail.
Read between the lines, these bad guys have done enough bad things that they can't consider working honest jobs as redemption until they've done their time. There is a bit of a foreigner trope in this particular story, but quite frankly speaking for anyone who's criminally minded and inclined, this is an experienced job because they've done too much to be able to get a decent one.
That’s too much like right for folks like that.

F Amazon!
There u go, ez!
He didn't know it was Amazon until he went to pick the load up.
@@Cheepchipsable re-watch
🎤👇🏽
This actually happens all the time in Miami & Tampa.
I drove for a Company named DBear Trucking out of Tampa and the owner (Dan) was setting us drivers up all the time for failure to be highjacked.
I reported them to Amazon and FDOT then quit the company. I sent a copy of everything to FDOT as proof to what was going on.
This was back in 2018
I started running Flatbed again since that happened.
Wow that's crazy how fkd up some people are . Glad you got out of there and reported the dirtbag !
That's so crazy wicked! I saw a show on Texas Rangers about this trucker high jacking scam! They had a pretty waitress that would suggest a shortcut to the truckers so they could be hijacked!
Chuck Norris and his partners took them all down!!!
You need to send this entire interview including the transcript to the Senior Management in charge of Amazon where they can actually work with legitimate Truckers such as your guest for this interview possibly setting up a secure emergency contact number for situations like this
I'm not a trucker, but I appreciate you guys and I find these stories fascinating. Thanks.
Great show Alex, you need more shows like this (trucking 101 theft division)!!!! Keep up the great trucking info that schools dont teach the drivers!!!
❤️🙌
Agreed, more shows like this that is not just click bait. Best I've seen in a very long time!
As a dispatcher for tow trucks who wanted to get into the industry…nevermind now. Scammers make it bad for everyone. What makes brokers and dispatchers think they’re entitled to half of a truckers pay?! I’ll just buy and dispatch my own trucks.
Shit those tow trucks some of the biggest scammers.
@@nathanharrison816 totally. Typically in bed with cops. Will let their buddies park ANYWHERE. While towing your shit immediately just because they wanna scam to make money. Literally had vehicles towed from out my damn driveway.
I'd trust a broker before a tow truck driver any day!
brokers n dispatchers too totally different entities
I’m a broker I don’t take half the pay I’m doing $200 a load that’s it
God bless our truckers. They bring us almost everything.
Truckers bring you everything you come in contact with there is nothing almost about it.
@@tomhodge2565 exactly
S/o to truckers, thank you for keeping our economies going! Thank you for your service! I’m sorry these kinds of things are happening to y’all.
Jus sayinnnn..You look like a straight snack!☠🥀
This is some great intel! I’ve had my Class A CDL about 12 years now, but I’ve mostly been driving water tenders on the wildland fires out west, but lately I’ve been thinking about driving OTR in the off season. It’s good to know that there are a few ex military operators out there that are willing to share some experiences and even look out for the rookies.
Please Please be safe out their you truckers! You all are Soooooo Important to our everyday lives. We NEED you! Please, carry a firearm. Buy one, practice with it and carry it everywhere. You are allowed to keep a firearm in your truck, as long as youre a long hauler then your truck is technically your house while youre in it. Same rules apply when youre trucking. Just be safe. Praying for you all.
What about riding through stupid Illionis
Federal law says you are not allowed to have a firearm in a commercial vehicle.
@@tomhodge2565 Then THAT'S a law that needs to be changed.
IMHO,
People should ALWAYS be allowed to protect themselves
Do you know what the penalty is?
@@tomhodge2565 Federal law??? Ok…cool. Show the rest of us in the FMCSA handbook/guidelines where it EXPLICITLY says that a driver/carrier CAN NOT carry a firearm. We eagerly await your response….
@@tracewallace23 Tom Hodge is incorrect. There is nothing explicitly in writing within the FMCSA rules that restricts a carrier/driver from possessing a firearm….just a friendly fyi.
Amazon has to make it’s own broker and remove all advertising that identifies that the trailer is from Amazon.
Amazon will also "cancel" a load after it has been picked up and is enroute....because Amazon found someone willing to do it for less. I see no reason to haul for Amazon really.
Uber did that to me last week… they removed my load from the app after I booked it… when I called them some guy in the Philippines told me it was a system error but they couldn’t put it back on my loads , so I lost a full day and you are correct!, some other carrier did it for less.
I was booked directly with Amazon. I had a multiple leg round trip load they canceled my return leg home without saying anything while I was half way to the first stop. When I complained they put me through about 4 different phone conversations with lots of employees that couldn't do anything and that had misleading information. Ended up delivering first stop and bobtailing home almost 800 miles the day before Christmas. After disputing the load pay cuz I was smart enough to screenshot the round-trip load description they honored my original load booking but I had to dispute it in their online system after returning home which took forever
I think that might be illegal for them to that, one many Intrastate cargo laws that apply to both trucks and ships.
How do they cancel the load when your pulling it does the driver or company get paid at all?
My question is who is watching the brokers. There should be a company investigating the brokers t make sure no one is getting scammed? I apologize for not knowing as I drive a day cab with our loads.
Mother of a trucker here, please stay safe and take care of each other out there!
I'm a owner operator 10 wheeler dump truck driver . I've done app based food delivery aswell & it's very important to communicate with others doing the same work to find out about the latest scammers targeting workers posing as employees of what ever company we're working for trying to get us to give up passwords & our private info so they can steal our money from our accounts . Thanks for your testimony .
Hey, Alex, I just have to say, I was Mother Trucker probably before you were thought of! Lol Thanks for this, I've been passing it on! I have been wishing I was still out there, but stories like this make me glad I'm not! I didn't think ANYTHING could be worse than back in 79 when they were shooting drivers from the overpasses, but this really competes!
This is crazy but they are still shooting trucks but on I 10 at the border New Mexico and Texas. Our windshield got shot out
As a patriot who has had knives pulled on me and had ppl tug on my door handles at night. All drivers should be allowed to carry weapons in their truck. As a driver who lives in VA we keep our 2nd amendment close!

No

I’m from Chicago and don’t step foot in my truck without my xdm elite 10mm not to mention i have a mossberg shockwave 12 gauge that lives inside it. Sometimes i bring my saint victor 556 pistol with kci 100 round drum just for shits and giggles.
Hubby refuses to get a pistol coz as he tells his friends, “I’m afraid my wife is gonna use it to kill me”. Really? He needs to grow up. Nobody is worth life in prison. Nobody. Only for a life and death self defense and I love the guy. Gave up my hone in NYC and my career to move to NJ with him and work for his small trucking company. It was the most stressful job ever. He had me do everything and expected me to learn the business, factor, do his taxes, pay the HUT, IFTA. And chase down paperwork, help drivers do their paperwork. And much much more. He kept adding more and more drivers and none of them would listen to me. I kept stressing to them that they need a good phone and scanner app so they can take legible scans and send to me ON TIME, so I can send it to factor and pay them . But no, they take shitty scans all blurry and dark, or they go to sleep and FORGET to send me their BOLS and lumpers. And the broker wants all paperwork within half hour or they won’t pay us for lumper. So I call and call and driver dont answer . Then next day they want to be paid. I tell them now, no legible paperwork and sent to me on time, no pay. Also they leave the receiver without all the paperwork and then the broker refuses to pay coz missing bols. So now I have to chase down paperwork. It just never ends. It made me hate trucking. All that I talked about is only a small part of the BS. They don’t save any of their money so when their trucks break down they force my hubby to pay to fix it or they walk. And we have had a lot walk away and go work for big trucking companies. Then when they get screwed royally, they beg to come back. I would never take them back but hubby has a softer heart . Then u have the crook brokers who want u to drive illegally. And 99% screw u on the load pay. A broker who sits there and his over head is his pen and paper should NOT be making anywhere near what a carrier truck driver makes. Our insurance alone is crippling us. Another big problem is finding good trustworthy drivers to work for us. We have had many lazy, crook, creeps come work for us. One guy begged hubby to pay to have his truck repaired, $12,000, and he will work and pay it back at $500 a week . Well after a couple of weeks, he took off . I personally hate this business.
That happened to me once on a amazon loan also. I played along with him until he told me he was 15 minutes away and I took off. Didn't even know about that scam🤦🏾♀️
Stolen truck in Texas 2yrs ago. Dallas cop did the same thing. Call 911 said they couldn't do anything until then.
I really enjoy your videos. I just obtained my CDL and it only took me 3 weeks. Your videos have inspired me and helped me along my journey. Thanks Mutha Trucker!!!
Incredible story. Incredible information. It's amazing how a couple stories are out here and connected. Great Channel giving great info. We out here paying attention gentleman
My neighbor just got back into trucking and this sounds like the scammy company he just joined, but my neighbor chooses to be ignorant (for religious purposes) when i tell him he needs to walk away. Broken deleted trucks ect....
Hopefully he tunes into y'all getting the word out and he listens.
Deleted trucks? So they're more reliable than most?
This is shocking 😳 thanks for putting this out there to make people aware.
wow smh. i run Amazon. the things scammers go to through to steal.
@@franciasmall9716 yeah my badge was terminated by some Amazon scamming situation where they were stealing people's info and had it under some brokers inside Amazon scam. I was like what I never worked under anybody but my own authority and I had to get a new badge. The crack down led to several Amazon employees getting escorted put to never return. Amazon is working to fix these cracks in their system.
Glad you all caught on now. America needs you now more then ever. Keep on truckin. Hammer down.
Now I get why I feel like I'm being followed on occassion...hunters looking for the scam...thanks alot...keep eyes more opened...great info...thanks
This discussion is as straight-up and real as it gets. Useful. Good stuff gentlemen.
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 🙏🏾 again for the head's up I'll share this out with my brother's and sisters out there running Amazon I got away from it after it started the b.s dropped rates
Good information here buddy definitely sharing this one to everybody I know thanks a million even though I don't haul any Amazon trailers
This was really good..I appreciate the driver being very informative and covering the details..We gotta MAKE IT HARD ON THE SCAMMERS
I watch a bunch of scam vids and this is the craziest thing I have ever heard! These brokers should be arrested. When they are on our own home front, it is worse! They are stealing from families and truckers don't get enough money for what they do. The products stolen could be medication or other important products. Makes me sick.
Shippers should hire a broker and have them work out of a office in the building no more sitting at home ripping us off
So a dispatcher?
That makes no sense but this is EXACTLY why you'll never be able to work directly with a decent customer. No way would a transportation manager at a Fortune 500 company give you the time of day when you literally sound like all the clueless truckers at the truckstop with their conspiracy theories
Brokers are the reason the Amazon load board is fucked up now. Since January of this year the load board went from 1000s of loads available a day to less than 10 available a day. Amazon ruined their company allow brokers to sell their leads to the lowest bidder. It's a damn shame.
it's all about pumping dividend cheques and high-ranking company scum getting bigger bonuses. the truckers - the peons! - get screwed? sucks to be them... that's how it is seen by people who make these decisions.
If a dude randomly pops up and tells me he’s taking my trailer I’d laugh and go back to bed.
A smart man I'm a single mother who knows nothing about trucking but care about the ladies and gentlemen who deliver our stuff... stay safe brother and sister
Ive been with the same trucking company for 9 years. Not switching companies, love where I am @. Stay safe.
Sounds like modern day piracy. Organized crime robbing hard working shippers.
Just keep those borders open so all the international criminals can keep coming in!
Thank you for exposing fraudsters, cons, corrupts folks in the industry, cheaters, stealers, etc.
Whats even more odd is that the industry is short drivers so it is not like they couldn’t find trucking jobs of all sorts across north America, so they are without a doubt choosing to do wrong leisurely.
THANK YOU TONY!! Thanks for looking out for drivers. New or old. I’ve been driving for 17 yrs and boy had it changed.
Thank you AlexM🙏🏽
Everyone is not there to help us we have to be smart and we have to know how to resist crime or resist evil and if we have a truck that for a business or anything it’s supposed to go a certain place and it’s our responsibility to see that he gets there and never get stolen or diverted.
Good Job Guys and Gals.
I want to say to all the men and women that are truck drivers, me and my family thank you so much. I know y'all don't get the credit y'all deserve because y'all keep this country moving no matter how screwed up this country is now . I just want to say thank you and god bless.
Great content man . If the booked load sold it to the third parts . The broker has to inform you with all details for how much they sold it and what is the commissions on that load . If the broker doesn’t tell you . This is a called double brokering . This is illegal for sure !!! Trucking company have to train all dispatch team and drivers with brokerages terms and federal laws !! Good luck fellows !!
AMAZON is dragging down DAT monthly averages. here is a lane offered on relay app. Albuquerque NM to Lubbock, TX. 2 lanes a day posted as a one way or round trip. either way you are returning to Albuquerque with or without a trailer. you would be lucky to see it at 1200. carriers are taking the round trip for $800 to $900 range. BREAK DOWN: 670 mi divided by 7 MPG= 96 gallons of diesel costing $5.30 a gallon is $508 in fuel alone. I cant afford to operate at $1.49 a mile. bravo to you if you can make it on that.
Wolves way inc... Thank you for giving truckers the heads up. I hope the new truckers learn quick. Keep up with anything like this. I may not be a trucker. But I have friends who are and being part of a CB group and protecting truckers. This is awful.
How smart are these new 18 y o drivers going to be?
Liberty commercial is being scammed as well.
The problem is that they can change their name. It is important to ban the owners and brokers
And ppl can't figure out why we are having so many issues with the supply chain..
Piracy added to trucker shortage, explains a lot
This channel is a blessing. Keep it up bros!
Truckers need to stop using trucker math, and just demand hourly pay. I'm a 40-year veteran and I've never really seen mileage pay workout long-term. Mileage pay just includes too much unpaid time
Good idea for company drivers...these guys are owner operators.
If you want hourly pay, get a job doing anything other than trucking. Or go drive for YRC, or Old Dominion, or basically any day cab company.
@@PyleZAP97 I'm an owner operator, always owned day cab tractors, flatbed dump and RGN and I always worked by the hour.. carried a Teamsters book for the last 35 years, all local work by the hour. No desire for any of that by the load or by the mile BS. That's like picking shit with the chickens
Know an owner operator that does end dump. Charges $150hr
@@Furby_assassin Love the name
Wow great show great episode I got schooled . I had no idea this stuff was going on I've been doing this for a while, Let's say more than 10 years how naive I am keep up the great work guys I will be watching every day.
The best friend of a trucker is paranoia
Perfect!
Lot lizards are mine
If that ain't the truth.
Ty for this we gotta stick together ❤️ we are a small company as well and I'm sharing this everywhere
Not a trucker but this may help explain some issues I've been having with Amazon lately. Sometimes I have to order things 2 or 3 times to get it to arrive because it just never shows up and gets cancelled. I don't lose any money because they refund it when that happens but it is very frustrating.
As others have said much love to all the truckers working hard and honest out there. Hopefully something changes soon to shut down these scams.
Great interview, I shared on all my social media's to let truckers know about the scammers.
Thank you, Tony, for sharing with the community.
A big thing may be missed in this story.
Tony's from South Central son.
Wearing a Unity shirt.
Looking out for a gang of strangers.
Thats whats up.
Thanks bro 🙏🏽
@@2ndBattLT Thank you!
Us ground level folk gotta pay attention these days. Then to have people not only paying attention but helping others...thats whats up...
I'm not even a trucker but mad love for Tony giving a damn about people and their livelihoods.
That's a good man.
"We" all know that without trucking, the country stops. Good looking out my guys. Kudos for the heads up
It's sad to hear this but I want to thank all the truck drivers for all their services and please protect yourselves from these criminals! The truck drivers have been holding it down for these countries.
Tell ya I have heard of dudes trying to unlatch trailer so what I did was welded a loop on my Handel and a short chain to lock it were it can't be pulled to open !! Just putting it out there to help !! I was sitting in a rest stop at night doing my logs and seen 2 dudes walking up on each side of my trailer looked scary so I put in 3 dumped clutch and toke off ! The dude ran beside my trailer for a little ways and seen I was not stopping he finally gave up ! That was one of the most scary thing that has happened to me reported it never heard anything else about !! Just sharing stay safe guys thanks for the content your putting out !!!
Man this is a great dude fr. New driver here and I need to learn the business and the path to an owner operator, need more people who want to teach new truckers like he does
So why is the FBI not investigateing these load thefts with Amazon?????
Because they are to busy trying to figure out what bathroom people can use & arresting parents at school board meetings for telling them to stop teaching our children CRT!!!! #FJB
Shout out to both of you brothers 💯🙏👍
Just found your channel, sorry.. this is fantastic,, gonna binge watch ya next couple days
Amazon should be able to set up a STING LOAD to Bust those lowlifes
I work with a distribution center, and I’ve seen our loads wind up on social media for large sales. Always came off to sketchy me.
Alex, and all other truckers be careful when you park in the truck stop to take your rest. Wednesday night, i parked around 10 pm to sleep at TA in US road 35 right off interstate 71 in Ohio, and I filled my tanks full. So, when i wake up in the morning i am ready to roll after PTI. Next thing i notice when i start the truck is that my tanks are empty and i have zero diesel. Somebody drained my tanks overnight.
buy locking tank caps
I'm a straight truck contractor with the USPS and I honestly have no idea how Amazon makes any profit. Trailer loads of their freight is getting stolen from you big road drivers and their local delivery contractors are opening parcels as they go down small roads and throwing what they don't want out the window. The kicker? Those SAME drivers still show up the next friggin day!
You guys are amazing! You do good work and deserve so much respect. You get supplies to where they need to be and consumers, such as myself, need to show more appreciation! Thanks for all you put up with!
OO with his own authority connected with direct shippers is the solution for all this problem.
It cannot be possible someone who is in an office, not assuming the highway risk and any investment in equipment and have not any truck expenses should earn 50-70% of the cargo, this is a scamm!!!
Well spoken 💯
What makes you think they are making up to 70% of load though? I can understand maybe 50 but more? The market is tight.
@@Username_647 the percentage depends if OO is with his own authority or with 3PL broker authority-sponsored insurance.
Amen, brothers. The industry has never communicated the way we do now. Keep doing a service for our industry and keeping it real.
We should all go on a week strike until the fmcsa actually does something about these broker scams
I'm the "New Guy" thanks for the insight! 👏🏾
