You say that we as the carrier have the power, but I always feel the brokers are holding cards up their sleeves I cant see.
I would just ask them if they would break down the fsc. Most probably won't do that for you, but some will. They usually quote a rate as all inclusive. If you get a good enough rate, the fsc isn't all that important.
Brokers need us as much as we need them. We can always find shippers for whom to haul freight. A broker MUST have a truck to haul freight. He can either find a truck or buy his own.
