Very informative, thank you. And yes if I bid less then a going rate I usually include a reason why I'm giving a below par rate... Driver wanting to go home after being the road awhile, I'm about to double load the truck, I can't make money sitting in Laredo, lol, etc...
The biggest thing I see brokers post is they want "options". I see two vehicles from the same company being bid are those options. Maybe one is close and is a sprinter and the farther one is a cargo van. Now if the broker wants a cheaper rate he'll have to wait a little longer for pickup. Is your customers time worth the money? That's his choice and I give him that option.
Don't feel it is a disorganized situation at all.
