Do not use Recycling Freight Brokers

Hello Justin,

Thank you for taking the time to discuss this matter with me earlier. I wanted to clarify some points to ensure there’s no misunderstanding about our approach at Recycling Freight Brokers.

I established Recycling Freight Brokers to serve as a bridge between customers and end-dump carriers. Before moving into logistics almost seven years ago, I spent fifteen years as a scrap metal broker and have deep-rooted experience in the scrap industry. Growing up in the business, with my father’s 45-year career in the field, I developed lasting relationships with numerous clients in the industry. While scrap metal is a focus, our services also extend to other materials like recycled plastics, glass, rubber, rock salt, limestone, and ferroalloys—any product transported by end-dump trucks. Thanks to these longstanding connections, we’re able to secure ongoing shipments for carriers, which aligns well with their preference for consistency.

We’re committed to fair market practices. Rather than undercutting rates, we receive quotes directly from end-dump carriers. The majority of our carrier partners are small operators with flexible fleets of 1-3 or 5-8 trucks. This size enables them to handle various shipments, which often brings them back to their home bases. We aim to offer rates of approximately $4 per mile, which, based on my experience, is fair and aligns with carriers’ expectations.

Many of these smaller carriers face challenges in accessing larger clients directly. At the same time, many shippers lack the resources to seek out alternative carriers for rate comparisons, which limits their options. Our goal is to facilitate these connections, offering smaller carriers a chance to access new business while providing shippers with expanded choices.

I apologize if there were any concerns, but please rest assured that our approach is intended to support the market, not disrupt it. We aim to provide opportunities to carriers and are backed by several who would gladly offer recommendations based on their experience with us.

Thank you again for the opportunity to address this.

That's what the big companies and brokers are doing get it cheaper so they can make money from small companies that are trying to make it. Recycling companies are paying at least 5/mile + fuel surcharge.. then this people get the work and hire small companies and pay 3.50 -4/ mile, they don't care if this small companies make it or not, all they want it's a dollar per mile and make money without any effort.

Marvin - I have never direct contact with you so I am not sure what you are referring to. I respond to all messages sent to me here as well as text messages. I had an employee that is no longer with the company and not sure if they was who you were trying to speak with, but I will reach out to you so we can discuss any lanes of interest.

All balances have been paid in full. Our factoring company charges a fee for processing payments within 48 hours, and if an invoice is not paid within this timeframe, we reimburse the fee. While we submit invoices and paperwork to the factoring company promptly, we do not control their processing speed. This is one of the key reasons we are transitioning to a new factoring provider.

We are fully committed to paying our carriers on time, and we have numerous references who can attest to our reliable payment history. Any payment delays that have occurred were promptly explained, and we have been transparent in all communications regarding the reasons for these delays. I have always been honest and clear about any challenges faced in the payment process.

We take pride in our professionalism and maintain strong relationships with many of our carriers, who can confirm that we have consistently paid on time without issue. Our track record demonstrates our dedication to meeting our financial obligations and fostering trust with our partners.
