I hope that people realize the only reason they are getting these loads is because they are cutting rates. Some of the loads they list they want your "best rate" which means how cheap can you do it for. Please see the reality of what is going on. Some may think they are ok but in reality what the loads they are listing, the only way the have them, is because they cut the rates from what the loads actually paid.

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.

There are trucks sitting all across the country because things are slow. The only way you have loads to offer in this market, by and large, is because your rates are cheap. Some loads you have listed we have done direct for the customer and they were not even offered because of your low rates. This has been the worst I have ever seen trucking and there is only one way to get the volume of freight that you are offering. I just hope other carriers realize this and say no. First it was Oakley cutting freight now there has been more and more new brokers popping in the last year trying to get into this. Its just a race to the bottom.

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.
