    I think you are on the right track here. I’m an O/O myself. I now have only 3 customers I haul for now. Only 1 is with a Broker . And only 1 because I’m dedicated on it & the rate is still very good. The other 2 I managed to get myself by just talking & making contacts . So far so good. It’s trucking so I know it can all disappear tomorrow. Great content.

    Straight up a lot of brokers don’t pay for waiting times. Or even Tonu. Like they should be liable for it, and their contracts shouldn’t be able to exclude pay for these things. The industry can be great but it feels like lawmakers are never on our side. Who knows what big companies do behind closed doors to get legislation passed on their interests!

I see there is no dress standard.. this is something your industry must correct..

I've picked random videos of this channel (ET). I'm most impressed with this one. I watched many more about(different channel) the Asian my show. He's just trying to gain subscribers and includes his wife occasionally. He's a clown trying to appeal to random people. Or make friends with the people in super cool looking trucks. I'm not going to keep watching him I've never thought of subscribing to him. To keep this short....THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to keep optimistic about who really is out here for trucking. You seem genuine and heartfelt towards the industry. Even if a person ONLY owns 1 piece of equipment or a hundred pieces.

      It's not negative it's reality. That's the program nowadays people can't say the truth because everyone gets offended. Rates aren't going back up. As long as people like you keep working for peanuts, why would they offer you more? Do you understand? Everyone cries about the poor pay but nobody has the balls to park their truck and stop driving. Trucking industry is the most powerful industry in the country. Yet you guys don't know how to use your power. If all the poorly paid Trucking companies stopped their trucks and stopped driving, we drivers would force them to cater to us. They would beg us for mercy. But why would they pay you more when you keep taking those cheap loads? Sure u complain but you still take them? Stop your truck! Have some balls and dignity. I parked mine two years ago. I'm hurting only because I have a big investment parked doing nothing. But I'm not beating the shit out of my truck for poor pay. I can do bad without beating up my truck for pennies.

    How should driver’s respond to not been paid for completed deliveries. I worked for six weeks ,driving a truck leased to the company. First there was an issue of who’s responsible for driver pay? , the truck owner or the company the truck is leased to with its driver. I made it clear that the one who’s Mc was used to procure and deliver the loads is responsible for the driver’s wages. As the driver , I delivered over 15 loads (19 BOL) without been paid. I called DOL to make complaint unfortunately it was thanksgiving holiday, so I warned the company again, so they sent $1400. Over six weeks of labor. Running NY-MA-AL-MS-FL etc. They had offered 25% of proceeds as my pay as promised every Friday as pay. They did not fulfill this promise. Only a $1400 sent after I informed them of my plans to file a claim with DOL. what’s you advise. Should I continue on my claim or let God?

    I’m so tired of hearing carriers complain about freight brokers when they also rip off dispatchers who work for them all the time. Companies need outside brokers even when they dispatch and broker loads in house.
    When you are spending your time counting the next man’s pockets you are not building yourself up. Set your standards for yourself and stick to your standards and you will make your money.
    I have seen shippers brokerage’s and carriers all going out of business lately. There will always be a need for all three. Pick your lane and stick your ambition. If you don’t like the way somebody does business with you move on from them.
    If they’re dishonest enough they will eventually put themselves out of business. You trying to put people you don’t know out of business will turn around and bite you in the behind.

    It’s more like 65% to carrier and 35% to broker in average.
    Don’t be surprised to see 45% to carrier and 55% to broker.
    Mega carriers can’t survive on $2 per mile year after year….especially their expenses are huge vs a small carrier or I should say 1 truck operations.
    Big carriers almost always operate new equipment and top of the line maintenance for example…then comes people in office and facilities and so many things involved on operating a big company….their drivers is the last expense that a big carrier is concerned.
    So O/O almost every time is working for nothing.

    Any and all freight brokers/forwarders need to carry at least $1,000,000 bond. Or, 25% of the last year’s gross revenue - whichever is greater.
    On the flip side, carriers/truckers need to have a minimum English/math/IQ level, at least college AS level, requirements in order to obtain and maintain their CDL.
    Just like CDL holders, the same should apply to DOT officers - there needs to be a maximum BMI level that needs not to be exceeded, in order to obtain and maintain one’s license/clearance.

      @@DR-um2bv I wish that were true but unfortunately it isn't. Before the deregulation of the trucking industry in 1980 truckers had to be leased to a company to work as a owner operator. There were very few independent truckers working for a shipper on their own. It did happen every now and then but it was rare and only possible because there were a few shippers that would pay for both ways out and back. Most independents ran for brokers and they were much more likely to be less than reputable than they are today. Since deregulation independent truckers have been possible because of brokers and the access to freight nation wide. Brokers are not the problem there has never been a case of a broker forcing a carrier to sign a rate con and haul a load. The problem is truckers entering the business asshole deep in debt and running scared all the time that they are not going to be able to pay there bills so they agree to haul anything to keep the wheels moving in the hope that if they just keep moving that someday they will get in front of it. Wrong!!! You go broke that way. Sorry!!

      We appreciate the info, but it was pretty cowardly to not offer WHAT demographic is responsible for many of the documented accidents and issues. Middle Eastern eastern people? Spanish or Latinos? Black people? White people? Who? Being afraid to point out facts is exactly how our country ended up with all of these issues in the first place. Say it all, or say nothing. I've seen in my areas that black drivers have consistently been the most reckless and inconsiderate on the roads. See. Say what it is. Don't be afraid to speak truth when it is true. I've helped more black Americans get their CDLs than any other demographic, and I stress to them to establish professionalism in everything they do with this career. Many of my black friends agree that there are far too many irresponsible Spanish and especially black drivers. It makes us all look bad.

      @@stalkerstomper3304 I didn't say the race because every time its brought up that specific group throws a tantrum and pulls the race cards. But yes I'm well aware not saying the facts of the situation is not the way to solve it. I just cant afford to be cancelled and lose my job or have to try and get my truck on at another carrier.
      I spend more time in the states then i do at home in Canada but like you I noticed young black guys being some of the most reckless CDL drivers out on the interstate, but there's also a pile of white people doing it to and at ages that should damn well know better.
      In Canada the people causing the most accidents being the dumbest drivers tend to be punjabi drivers (drivers from india). I stopped driving our west coast solely to how dangerous the guys drive. My last trip out of tacoma I went through British columbia even tho i really didn't want to because of past experiences. It almost got me killed again by a punjabi driver driving dry road speeds on ice and snow covered roads around a hair pin corner in the mountain's. I was oversize thankfully only 10ft wide and we missed by less then 1 foot, he was in my lane and I was in his lane going around the corner on the wrong side of the road. Thank god the car behind him was 1/4 mile behind or i would have head on'd them instead.

    I have both authorities and I’ll tell you what. Ever since getting a brokerage authority I’ve been able to serve my customers MUCH better. What will your customers do if your truck breaks down on the way to pickup? They will call other asset only carriers that have capacity constraints only to be let down. A broker can simply leverage their carrier relationships or post on the board, thus recovering the load much faster. I completely disagree with you. Brokers will always be a better option than asset based carriers. I know it because I have a good customer base that prefers me to broker their loads than to use my own assets. With that being said there are a lot of bad brokers that need to leave the market

    • @DR-um2bv

      The problem is brokers are getting their profits from the load and not the shipper. If the shipper wants what the broker is selling then they should pay extra for the broker and not let the broker take his cut out of the load. Truck drivers should get the same pay before the broker got involved. If load normal pays 1000 then the truck should still 1000 not 600 or 500. If shipper use broker then shipper should pay the broker fees separately

    This video really cap. Manufacturers will never go to strictly asset based.
    1. Because nobody can retain drivers so it’s gonna be a lot of over promising and under delivering.
    2. If they have 20 loads and you only have 10 trucks they are still in the same position….Stressed out. Brokers have access to everybody in the market. Trucking companies don’t.
    3. If your truck breaks down how will that load be recovered? It won’t.
    The point of a broker is to help the logistics department. Why would they get rid of the logistics company just to do more work and hire more people they gotta pay health insurance to?
    Y’all be lost. I had a trucking company and hated brokers but instead of complaining I got out here and saw the other side.
    It’s definitely bad brokers and that’s who gon be phased out but it’s gon always be a place in this industry for freight brokers

    If you think freight brokers are going extinct then why do freight brokers continue to swallow up more market share in the industry every year? In the early 2000's brokers only moved about 5% of the total freight over the road. Now they move over 20%. That does not sound like going "Extinct" to me. I think you just dislike brokers, so you are believing what you want to believe. You really think relationships dont matter in this industry? This industry is litterally just relationships.
