If a broker is double brokering a load he should be cut off. The Link site is a fraud facilitator in it's current state. Letting load brokers act as trucking companies with no trucks invites fraudulent activity. The carrier ends up in court or playing "hunt the cheque" and the carrier is the one with the fuel bill, truck bill, drivers wages, and repairs all of which are at a much higher $ value than that of the telephone lines etc. than the load broker is paying for. There's no comparison. Look at Rockman, I haven't had a load from them yet that wasn't double brokered... and as soon as I find out a load is double brokered I call the Link and what happens... nothing. It's as simple as them asking for the US border crossing decal registration for a company's fleet of trucks when they are registering as a US/CND carrier. This will ensure that the "broker/carrier" actually has equiment that goes to the US. These types of slimey load brokers give the good guys a bad name and bad taste is left in the mouth of the carrier who was defrauded.

I think there is always some form of double brokering. I'm sure every Carrier has had to double broker a load and for many reasons broken equipment, sick driver, not enough freight, cancelled loads. Its the guys who double broker as a business, those guys need to be shut down. This site should create a double broker list.
