As a truck driver ,I look at trucking companies the same way. Being ask to do things I don't get paid for, cameras, and gaslighting and unrealistic appointment times, yeah ita a jungle out here . Did I mention the stalking?
Don't you have an employment agreement which covers things you don't get paid for? If the camera is in your sleeper, you have a point if it's looking at you or looking out front, SCOTUS has already addressed this where you have no expectation of privacy. Gas lighting?, can you elaborate? Unrealistic appointment times are simply "I can't legally do that." Who is stalking you?

I am sorry there are so many scammers out there. I hope you make trouble for them. Your are helping the trucking industry and they are taking advantage of you. Give the H !
Sometimes the original shipper and broker are involved in the double brokering ring because the scammer pays them under the table. There is something similar in the dump truck industry. There was a trash transfer station in my area. The dump truck drivers were paying the dispatcher of the the station, $100 a week so that they were able to cut in front of the line and get the load. $100 x 20 drivers is $2,000 week under the table pay for the dispatcher. Now can you imagine the double brokering with under the table pay? If the scammer scams 20 drivers and pays the original broker 20 times a cut, that would give the original broker an incentive to be part of the “ring”.
The Gmail email account is an automatic red flag. Not saying every person using a Gmail account is a scammer but tread very carefully when encountering one of these.
Noooooo!! So sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately, you are not alone! We just did some videos on scams and what to do if you're affected. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. It's so important to help each other out with this information so less people fall prey to these scams.
I see the scam, but in order to pull it off, the scammer has to have access to that particular load that he "brokered" to you. How did he get this access? One cannot just go to a shipper and say, "Hey, I'm picking up a load." So how did the scammer get the shipping info and even the BOL number? I think another precaution to take would be to call the shipper when you receive the ratecon.
Rule number 1 before you book anything check MC with your factoring company, never work with brokerages MC starting with 14, 15 and are longer than 6 sumbers there are some exceptions but still do your check anyway, call the company and ask if that person is working there and authorized to sell loads.

No point of calling FBI. They only listen if a single person or group of people get scammed over $250,000. Otherwise, you’ll be wasting their valuable time.
@@yxvz1537 That’s their charge. They’ve never placed a dollar limit as criteria for a given case. You’d have to be naive to believe this technique will be limited to a single bad actor. Once they’ve succeeded with one phone number, they will expand to multiple phone numbers and false fronts.
I've always said that trucking is built upon relationships and trust. Yeah, we have contracts that spell out everything about the load, Pick up, delivery, payment etc, however, as in any business, contracts are only as good as the people who sign them. For those of you who are fairly new to this business, this might shock you to know that years ago, long before cell phones, email, the internet and even fax machines, (damn I feel old), We owner operators would get load and broker information from the DAT monitor at the truck stop. DAT stands for (Dial A Truck) and that was our reality back then. Every truck stop had a driver lounge with a monitor flashing the various loads and also a bank of pay phones so we could call brokers. The only lounging we actually did back then was looking for loads. At any one time you might see a dozen guys standing in front of the monitor, and when a load popped up, everyone would rush to the pay phones to call the broker. I've even witnessed guys fist fighting for loads just so they didn't miss out. Once you booked the load, the broker gave you your dispatch information right over the phone and then mailed the rate confirmation to your house. Yep, you read that right, Mailed the rate confirmation to you. Everything was done on the honor system back then. And while I'm sure some people, from time to time, were screwed out of payment back then, I don't recall it ever being a problem. When I eventually got home after being on the road for weeks, I had a stack of envelopes with rate confirmations waiting for me. It usually took several hours for me to sit down and hand write out invoices on each load, address envelopes and mail the BOL on each load to the broker. And then I waited for a check to be mailed to me. Fast forward a few years.... and the electronic age took over the trucking industry in a big way! I remember a time in my life thinking to myself, if only those cell phones would get cheaper, I think I'll buy one so I don't have to stand at a pay phone in a truck stop calling on a load. Back then, only doctors and lawyers owned cell phones, and they didn't fit in your pocket, rather, they were in a large bag you carried around. Well, finally we got cell phones, first a flip phone, then a blackberry, and once Apple came out with the first iPhone it was a total game changer. Soon, that DAT monitor at the truck stop and the pay phones were all in my hand while I was rolling down the road. My productivity greatly increased. There was a time it was nothing to sit around for two or even three days a week waiting for a load. Once I had an iPhone, I could keep myself booked and rolling all the time. And life was good. As I recall, the average rate per mile was around $1.25/mile. Yep, you read that right. Of course fuel and all my other expenses were much less than they are now as well. Now, everything in the trucking industry it seems moves at the speed of light. It seems that the electronic age has made it possible to become a thief in disguise. And while productivity has greatly increased, it seems that the honor system is quickly going by the way side. In some ways, nothing has changed. Instead of a dozen guys standing in front of the DAT monitor at the truck stop, there are now 50 or 100 guys and gals on their phone or at their Personal computer at home, all looking at the same load. And when that load hits the board everyone calls at once. If the broker doesn't answer, put it on speed dial and keep calling until you get a voice, or finally give up in frustration and move onto the next load posting, and ask yourself what the heck are you doing wrong. Used to be that drivers would stand around the DAT monitor complaining about how everything sucks. Now, we all log into RUclips and listen to people make videos complaining about the same things that suck in the trucking industry. What has changed to a large degree is the lack building good working relationships. It's all become so impersonal now dealing with so many different brokers that one naturally has to question whether or not you're dealing with a crook on the other end of the phone call. I have one broker who has been in business for 40 years now and still does it old school. When you agree to haul a load for him, you actually drive to his office, he has a load confirmation already filled out that shows what the load pays, the fixed 11% that he takes, and what your pay is. If you need an advance, he'll write you a check for up to 40% of the load and even let you drive his pickup to the bank in town to cash the check. Once I deliver the load, I collect a check from the customer and then I bring that check back to my broker and he immediately hands me a check for my part. Often times, I sit around his office shooting the breeze. He knows me and I know him. He knows he can depend on me to do a good job for him, and I know I can rely on him to deal with me fairly and pay me promptly. That my friends, in my opinion is how trucking should ALWAYS be. GOD BLESS.
Unfortunately, it seems that Brokers need to be regulated more so than Carriers. Brokers should be registered with the FMCSA as well and EVERYTHING should be matched including phone numbers, addresses, emails and names. Carriers are getting royally screwed at every turned. Freight brokers, fuel prices, mechanics and truck stops. Price gouging should be illegal.
Miranda, or anyone who might know. What is it called when a motor carrier (1) gets another carrier (2) to deliver a load that was assigned to them (carrier 1)? Double-brokering is when a broker defrauds their customer by giving the load to another broker without the knowledge and permission of the shipper. This business of sharing or giving loads to other carriers who the broker didn't enter into a legal contract is problematic. It's problematic mostly for motor carrier (1) who doesn't know if motor carrier (2) is properly insured for the cargo value and type. Is there a name for this practice? Most brokers say in the contract that you can't do this w/o their permission. Thanks
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful Yes, because it's very common among the motor carriers I know. I usually warn against it because they are liable if the driver they pass the load to doesn't have proper cargo and other required insurance. 🤔
Ok so that kind of scams really happen everyday but something off on this stories like she use factory but she have to call the shipper to collect payments? I think you need to get another factory company? And if you don't have access to the loadboard as a broker you can't see posted trucks
Yeah you misunderstood. When I say they factor through RTS, this is something you can see on the loadboard right away (there is a checkmark next to the broker) and usually that means that the broker is clean if they are factorable. I dont use factoring for all of our loads, only about 5%. Basically, the brokerage was fine, but the dude who was claiming to be a part of that company was a fraud. And yes, you can have access to posted trucks and loads even without an MC.
Ok. Unless I know the broker calling, I refuse all offers from brokers calling in. I don't post my truck on the load boards. All brokers I call must pass a credit check, and i only deal with the Truckstop board. (so far) Another thing I do is to have a "DO NOT CALL" list of brokers who have either shorted me, or fully admit they use Carrier411. Usually these brokers question you about inspections after they read comment said about you by other brokers. I also block these brokers on my Truckstop board so I don't have to deal with them. So if you're a broker, please state upfront that you use Carrier411. It will save us both time. Lastly, there are outfits that do the online carrier packets, like RMIS. If the broker isn't setup with them, I really don't want to haul for them. Anybody can get a carrier packet emailed to them. With doing them online, it does make it easier to trust that you will be paid for your services.
Go here: safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx Enter the DOT or MC of the brokerage and call the number listed under Safer. This is the actual number the broker is registered with. In my case, the RC showed the phone number of the fraudulent individual pretending to be a broker, and had I called the brokerage itself, I would have quickly realized that this dude never worked there
Then (I would argue) you are giving the asshat who double brokered a taste of their own medicine. I am sure there are other repercussions as well though haha.
This is nothing new These big carriers have been doing this for a very long time And if you try to go after your money they'll just make sure you spend a 100 times more in court trying to get it
I think there's supposed to be a freight reduction; because of price increases ppl are buying less. You're better off in mechanic school. Even amzn had the biggest layoff in their history & it's busy season.
It's about trust- as a new broker, you probably dont yet have a credit score. Carriers would rather get paid less but PAID than get offered more and not get paid. Just like brokers wont work with new carriers, carriers will try to avoid new brokers
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful and if I offer quick pay of 50 percent at pickup and 50 at delivery? I understand carriers worry but their losing a business opportunity
In the spirit of transparency, I will be completely honest. When I see a broker post a load that states 50-50 quick pay, I stay away. While I logically understand that everyone needs to start somewhere, and this 50-50 system is a way to get carriers to work with you so you can, over time, build your CS, my first thought when I see that load is "something is off". It's very unfair, I do admit, but this is just the psychology. My best advice for a newbie is this: when you find a carrier, build a relationship with them. Pay them quickly (not quickpay with a fee), dont annoy them with check calls, and be there if issues arise. Get those good reviews going (leave a carrier a good review, and many times they will leave you a good review back on DAT). In the beginning, it's all about relationships. While it SHOULD stay that way always, it rarely does unfortunately. Be patient and carriers will slowly trickle in. I sincerely wish you the best of luck, and remember- we all had to start somewhere. It's always tough in the begining.
How you can make so many videos while market is that bad? It literally eats my whole time to find those loads and still can't move all my drivers everyday
I am SO shocked how many of you guys are going through this- I received so many emails after posting this video of guys and gals who went through the same thing. This is crazy!
I heard about a broker that scammed a trucker that was a blood. The gangster trucker found where the broker lived and killed the brokers family and put the broker in a coma.
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful I posted on here the other day with a link to dot regulatory page. I think yt deleted it I hope they catch whoever it is for you
@@anthonyshriner4362 Oh man I am sorry about that. Can you try posting that link again? I reported everything to the FBI today, we shall see what happens!
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful oh it’s no worries at all. I don’t know why RUclips does that. I’ve been banned a couple times over the years. Anyway, It was the department of Justice, I mistakenly said the dot. But it’s basically just explaining the penalty for the theft of freight during transport. It’s ten years if over 1000$ Has something to do with commerce. There’s a technical name for it. Hope the feds make headway with your case
He called me on a posted truck, and when I checked the brokerage, it passed with flying colors. Alas, it was a scam. Im sorry I didnt see your email- I do not offer mentorship at this time.
This is another reason why all brokers should have to post a $100.000 cash bond to get a license and as well shippers should be required to pay the delivering carrier and the carrier then send the broker thier fees! It's a simple fix but we have let them screw us so long that nobody is willing to force a change.
Hi Miranda, hope you doing well in this crap market. Can you recommend a checking account for me as a new driver which will help in me the future building my business, was thinking about Capital one or Chase. Thanks!!

Good afternoon Miranda
I don't work with new to me brokers
Only work with brokers that I've worked previously.
How are they able to access the pickup number? Or are they getting the load from a broker and then giving it to another carrier?
Oh man, its a whole web of crap. I will probably provide an update in one of the future videos
Thanks you !!
Was that the load that starterd at 2300 then accepted it for 4500? Or similar ammounts...
I don't recall that about this load
Wow that's scary
This is nothing new These big carriers have been doing this for a very long time And if you try to go after your money they'll just make sure you spend a 100 times more in court trying to get it
Lumper service is a big scam
Yes it is!
Bravo
How do u guys feel about autonomous trucks? Overall future of trucking? I’m 22 and thinking of getting in, thanks
Autonomous trucks are a joke. Autonomous car research company just went bankrupt because it's harder then they thought it would be.
Until a mathematician figures out artificial intelligence, the widespread use of autonomous trucks isn't gonna happen.
I think there's supposed to be a freight reduction; because of price increases ppl are buying less. You're better off in mechanic school. Even amzn had the biggest layoff in their history & it's busy season.
Safer? Fmcsa web site?
I'm a new broker and offer quick pay and sometimes people won't use us but will go book a load with a broker offering less.
It's about trust- as a new broker, you probably dont yet have a credit score. Carriers would rather get paid less but PAID than get offered more and not get paid. Just like brokers wont work with new carriers, carriers will try to avoid new brokers
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful and if I offer quick pay of 50 percent at pickup and 50 at delivery?
I understand carriers worry but their losing a business opportunity
In the spirit of transparency, I will be completely honest. When I see a broker post a load that states 50-50 quick pay, I stay away. While I logically understand that everyone needs to start somewhere, and this 50-50 system is a way to get carriers to work with you so you can, over time, build your CS, my first thought when I see that load is "something is off". It's very unfair, I do admit, but this is just the psychology. My best advice for a newbie is this: when you find a carrier, build a relationship with them. Pay them quickly (not quickpay with a fee), dont annoy them with check calls, and be there if issues arise. Get those good reviews going (leave a carrier a good review, and many times they will leave you a good review back on DAT). In the beginning, it's all about relationships. While it SHOULD stay that way always, it rarely does unfortunately. Be patient and carriers will slowly trickle in. I sincerely wish you the best of luck, and remember- we all had to start somewhere. It's always tough in the begining.
How you can make so many videos while market is that bad? It literally eats my whole time to find those loads and still can't move all my drivers everyday

Easy, I dont sleep much haha

@@TruckingMadeSuccessful Thanks a lot your videos are always helpful 🙏
Dang - is there anything else that can be done to get this particular guy? Is what he is doing even illegal? Seems like it would be...
Its theft,, and this being the trucking industry which is federally regulated...I really hope that what he is doing is a federal crime.
Ok yes - so maybe report it to the FBI then?
Yes- tomorrow will be making that call!
What is safer? Gosh I'm lost

I’ve got scammed recently as well, we posted truck and got a call from the person that was representing the broker company
I am SO shocked how many of you guys are going through this- I received so many emails after posting this video of guys and gals who went through the same thing. This is crazy!
Some people don't believe in hell that's all; but they are lined up with tickets for hell 🙄!
Im the one printing the tickets and taking reservations
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful - 😅😂😅 you are too much!
Has to be an inside job. Someone from inside the company is feeding this scammer information.
I heard about a broker that scammed a trucker that was a blood. The gangster trucker found where the broker lived and killed the brokers family and put the broker in a coma.
OMG that's terrible, no amount of money is worth taking a life.
Hey do anyone here deal with containers?
Have you involved the FBI, or any branch of it that still has any integrity?
Will be calling them tomorrow!
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful I posted on here the other day with a link to dot regulatory page. I think yt deleted it
I hope they catch whoever it is for you
@@anthonyshriner4362 Oh man I am sorry about that. Can you try posting that link again?
I reported everything to the FBI today, we shall see what happens!
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful oh it’s no worries at all. I don’t know why RUclips does that. I’ve been banned a couple times over the years.
Anyway, It was the department of Justice, I mistakenly said the dot. But it’s basically just explaining the penalty for the theft of freight during transport. It’s ten years if over 1000$
Has something to do with commerce. There’s a technical name for it.
Hope the feds make headway with your case
Got any open trucks?
I do not at this time
Did you find this broker on a load board?
Also, I sent you an email a few weeks ago about mentoring. Is that something you do?
He called me on a posted truck, and when I checked the brokerage, it passed with flying colors. Alas, it was a scam. Im sorry I didnt see your email- I do not offer mentorship at this time.
thx, now we know
You are amazing! And beautiful. Long live Ukraine!
Slava Ukraine! :)
This is another reason why all brokers should have to post a $100.000 cash bond to get a license and as well shippers should be required to pay the delivering carrier and the carrier then send the broker thier fees! It's a simple fix but we have let them screw us so long that nobody is willing to force a change.
Yes!
How about convincing customers/shippers to get rid of brokers ALL TOGETHER ???
Landstar double broke
This scam broker telephone number is from the st.louis area

Did you call the police?
Will be calling the FBI today to report

What's their MC?

So you are sending the fraud the signed BOL after the loads?
Yep, you deliver the load and send the bOL to the "broker"... and then this jerk takes it and gets paid and disappears. Horrid.
@Trucking Made Successful thanks. For now on I refuse all brokers who ask for the BOL and will send it straight to my factoring company
This is nothing new it's been going on for longer than you have been alive
