I am willing to bet that the shipper is paying the same rate as a year ago, the brokers are just taking all they can. Remember their volume is down too.
I saw a load last week that was posted for $1700 and I know the shipper was paying $2800, just a mere 40% commission for booking the load. It was moved.
Most freight is being sold at the same rate as last year with little or no fuel surcharge, the brokers are taking more because they can.
