I am wondering if there is a way we can get rid of some of the crappy load brokers from our industry. I will apologize now if I am starting a new thread on an old topic and if I am please direct me to the thread. Being and owner operator from Canada I have noticed the last while brokers popping up and cutting the heck out of the rates. Today I called on a load from Outlook SK to Miami FL. 2700 miles and the rate was $2250 or 84 cpm, needless to say I told him where he could put his load. I am finding this more and more these dam brokers are popping up and killing the rates. And of course they all say well these loads work good for a back haul. Unfortunately they are trying to turn all the loads into back hauls. I am not positive but I am sure this same thing must be happening in the States as well as Canada.
I realize the simple solution is do not use them and trust me I don't but someone must be.
Any suggestions?
