We need to hold brokers responsible who don’t disclose their pay for loads to the trucking companies. Our truck driver’s are getting paid a fraction of what the brokers are offering in a very bad economy right now. Without trucks, nothing we enjoy will be moved around creating chaos. Too many small owner operators are shutting down because of these big corporations taking all the loads from them!
Furthermore, the insurance companies are getting more and more greedy with paying claims for cargo, physical damage.
One more note on truckers: when a facility damages our trailers with their forklift, there is no rule to claim against the facilities or brokers. The damage always falls on the trucking companies.
Someone needs to help our truck companies as many are suffering because of big cooperations, DOT , highway taxes, you name it!
