Typical Carrier/ Typical Broker day to day situation.
Typical dry load from A to B 500 miles hauled by small carrier
#1.
2 hours before pick up appointment
Truck: 15 minutes away waiting for appointment time to go in (or on his way to pick it up)
"A" - Broker: Load just got canceled for bla-bla-bla reason
or "B" - Broker: today's load not ready until tomorrow, so either Carrier ok with it or it would be covered with someone else
#2
4 hours before pick up appointment
Truck: on schedule for his pick up
"A" - Broker: Load just got canceled for bla-bla-bla reason
or "B" - Broker: today's load should be delivered 1 day later from original day, so either Carrier ok with it or it would be covered with someone else
#3
1 day before pick up appointment
Truck: on schedule for tomorrow pick up
"A" - Broker: Load just got canceled for bla-bla-bla reason
or "B" - Broker: Same pick up day but delivery is 1 day later from original day, (OR Load will not be ready to until the day after tomorrow), so either Carrier ok with it or it would be covered with someone else
I KNOW it all dependence on the actual situation, relationship between Carrier and Broker, and so on...BUT... let's keep it simple and peaceful
TONU - is paid only once truck checked in, so my question is ... Does the Load confirmation reserve a right for Carrier to charge Broker for "reservation cancellation"? and/or for "delay Fee"?
"B" situation leaves small Carrier with less money just because the pick up/delivery date changed after the fact (he would have to use 2 trucks instead of 1 as originally planed and/or losing 1 day of work (if same truck doing delivery), OR if Carrier says NO, it leaves him with $0.00, plus numerous phone calls to recover this lane, and etc. AND if this line is not re-covered with any other load/truck(s), it is effecting THE NEXT scheduled load and this "NEXT BROKER" is angry at the carrier despite the reason of cancellation.
Bottom line is Why carrier has to loss money and NOT be reimbursed for costumer delay? and What is the point of Loan confirmation then?
