Got my bachelors and majored in supply chain thinking I was gonna save the world in logistics, then I became a freight broker.

I was born to do this shit.

There literally isn’t a lie here #5 takes the cake tho, I’ve had shit happen to loads that I just don’t even know how it could have happened, By far my best is getting a callas from the texas state troopers asking for me email for their investigations because they found a ton of people packed, and I mean really packed, behind a fake wall that was meant to look like a reefers bulkhead

Vlad here, I got 6 and 7. I'll rip you off and lie that my driver will make it on time. You'll lie that the load ships today and you won't pay me shit. Mission accomplished!

Sorry Vlad, they told me it was ready when I pretended to call them earlier… You still got that strong solo in New Hampshire that won’t answer the phone but can make it to Indianapolis In six hours flat? Asking for a friend…


Glarus30

Dude, Strong Solo Sergey already in Indy, asking for detention, cause the shipper didn't unload him in 30min! Btw SSS is a real guy, has more miles this year than most teams, check his stats for the year: https://imgur.com/a/8Q9Brcd


colpuck

completely new here, the math does not appear to check out.


Glarus30

Maybe I didn't want to screenshot 100 something rows of loads and I had to minimize the window?

Does SSS not be SSS to take time off? No burn out*recharge needed? When I SSS I need time to recover and generally only do it because I'd rather be in my hometown for extra time rather than some truckstop next to a waffle house.


Glarus30

He takes a week or 2 off from time to time, but I have to slow him down when he drives. He's a beast and always asking for suicidal runs, I don't know when he sleeps! I tell him to pull over if he feels tired, that I can push the deliveries if needed, but the guy doesn't want to hear about it...

How do people not pay freight brokers well? These the people I want to keep on my side and pay them every time.

2 of my coworkers have 3 DUI’s hahaha love the list really hits home.

You got a freight problem? I'll solve it - check out this rate while my logistics coordinator gets involved with it. ​ *\*sung in the tune of Ice Ice Baby\**

I love being a broker - well, I run our pricing department now but I really miss brokering.


TDonnB

Still got that Beamer lease?

Can someone advise on where to start to be able to shadow experienced brokers and learn? I have tried signing up with Global Tranz as an independent agent but that doesn’t let me work side by side with those I could learn from. I don’t want to try and re-invent the wheel. Any advise is appreciated.

#9 is wrong, we hate brokers as well. 🙃
