Who are the good brokers?

Funny how some of the industry looks at brokers. Until they are stuck on a lane with no options to get home. I remember working in the industry when I had to rely on salesmen to get freight. They were generally useless when needing specific lanes to fill. Empty miles galore

The smaller the broker the more likely they are to screw the carrier. If you think about it, what do they have to lose? Absolutely nothing.

Good day. Well, I have to say I totally totally and totally disagree with that ...

Anybody can book a truck , use a load board , send mass e-mails, and promisse a client they have access to 500 000+ carriers and blah blah

I don't care the size of company. To me, a good load broker is someone that understands your needs, your environment , care about and knows your material by heart and can be an extention of your operations. Most importantly : be reliable and show innitiative when a problem happens.
So either that individual works up his way in a big or small company is irrelevant. Skills can be learned , attitude not.

I could spend hours telling you what pisses me off when I see an e-mail with no weights , no timeframe , improper dimensions.... These people are there for sure and they reproduce, exist and they excell at not giving a f***. Let them be and choose who to work with wisely :-)
