A company is only as good as the integrity and honesty of the people who run it and work there. Most trucking companies and brokers micromanage orders one by one, checking for opportunities to make money - mostly, whether it makes sense to go on the truck or sell it to someone else. I don't know any manager or owner who doesn't walk into dispatch and talk about an order they see in the system and not be aware of margin. Any company that double-brokers cannot say someone didn't know or have management claim ignorance about where the load came from or who they assign it to, especially when they know the freight is not riding on one piece of their equipment. They're all accountable. "Andy Transport" vs "Andy Logistics" is no different than what other carriers do, except that the good ones know better than to accept freight that they can't move, knowing they will get caught and jeopardize the client relationship. Handing freight off to an agent for pickup and/or delivery without your consent is kind of a grey area. The first warning sign should be when someone tells you to identify as yet a completely different transport company on pickup or delivery, unless it is a blind shipment.
