If the rate is so poor that the broker will never get it moved, I don't do his job for him, getting his rates to where they should be! Let them go broke or not be able to move their loads because the rates suck! The only way we break this cycle is by not hauling! If the rate is not what it is supposed to be, don't haul until it is.
