They didn't get as big as they are by paying more to move a load than they receive. I could see them conceivably giving all of the profit to a carrier if they were in a really difficult bind with a big shipper and there was no other way to move the load, but don't see this happening as a standard course of business.
I got to say Gman this one surprises me. You are one of the people I follow every word very carefully and I could have sworn that you said kind of what the Ch broker said. If I'm not mistaken you mentioned that some of these brokers will be penalized for not moving a certain amount of freight so it's is cheaper to just move it for a loss even. Of course I could go back and check all 8,000 posts you've made, but I don't think I will do that.
(of course probably doing that there's much I missed that I could learn).
But I could have misread what you wrote, but I do remember the penalty thing for not moving a certain amount of freight. I had never thought of that.
