Very very well said.I'm a company driver but u made some very good points.You o/o are making just enough to keep afloat.So wheres the profit.I bet most the o/o dont have a nickle to show for all their hard work and dedication .A load pays $3000.00 u say well u should receive$2500.00 not half.You get paid only enough for fuel permits ect to keep the trk running.You might as well be a company driver it averages out the same.
Well I did some research, even some companys do not take 50% of the load!!!! Figure it, say a load pays $3000....and the broker takes $1500, the driver still has fuel cost, wear and tear on their truck, what does the broker have? It is just wrong! I have found some companies that pay the driver 65% of the load, plus 100% fuel surcharge, and found one that pays 75% of the load, plus 100% fuel surcharge, and I think that is the way it should be. I myself, intend to broker loads for my husband my self. I have no intention of using someone who takes up to 50% of the load!!! Many of these brokers have killed the trucker and they want you to be a sucker, and what they call a dumb truck driver!!!
