Member You - Freight Brokering - Stuck in the Middle
We have all been in the position of looking for a job, changing careers, etc. It is time consuming and patience challenging. We apply for job after job and never seem to get what we want even though we see people around us that always seem to get the job they want.Most companies will accept a resume and you should have one available
That's not to say that all shippers understand this. They may want the freight broker to assume responsibility for clearing things up. But this is not correct. It is the broker's responsibility to know where the broker sta
If you've considered starting your own business, you've probably heard of franchising. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, franchising is where a business allows other individuals to set up in business under the same organizational banner, using the same trademarks to sell the same product. Franchising is usually regu
The broker should be ready to talk to the receiver, the shipper and the carrier when these problems arise. But it's up to the shipper to file a claim should they decide to. The shipper often times assesses a dollar amount of damage and then deducts it from what they owe the broker. And the broker then turns around and deducts it from the motor carrier.
This is not the right way to do it. But this is the way many shippers choose to do it. And the broker has no control over how the shipper wants to handle this.
Second, there are all kinds of issues that may arise when there is damaged cargo or missing pieces. These issues are usually strictly between the shipper and carrier.
The carrier normally assumes full liability for any damage or missing pieces. But what happens if the carrier says the damage occurred before loading. What happens when there is concealed damage that wasn't apparent during unloading? What happens if the carrier is not allowed to observe the loading? How is he to know what the count is that he picked up? What if, what if, what if.
There may be a lot of what ifs. But the fortunate thing for brokers is - these issues are between the shipper and carrier. The broker should only play a small, intermediary role when dealing with these problems.

If you look up the definition of hero in Webster's, you'll find a definition something like, 'A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life: soldiers and nurses who were heroes in an unpopular war'. Some heroes in our lives have earned that badge of honor by doing so

With the shortage of school funding these days it is necessary to come up with creative ways of raising money for programs that have been cut due to lack of funds. Just because a program does not have funds doesn’t mean it can't continue if you find ways of funding it yourself. High School fund raising has become a very necessary tool for

Even though we're only a few fields away from the end of our segment on medical billing and the GU0 record, these last few fields are so complex and confusing, that the explanations of how to fill them can get rather lengthy. We've tried to simplify this series so that it's at least a little easier to understand than the DMERC manual, whi
That's not to say that all shippers understand this. They may want the freight broker to assume responsibility for clearing things up. But this is not correct. It is the broker's responsibility to know where the broker stands in the midst of these problems. Otherwise, a shipper may intimidate the broker either out of ignorance of the law or just sheer ignorance.
Unless you are an attorney, it’s difficult to keep up on all the court cases that involve claims and damaged goods. And from what I understand, a court may rule one way in one part of the country and another court may rule another way. So there’s no “black and white”. It’s all gray area.
The facts and issues involved in court cases are bad enough to follow. Then you have to try and interpret what the attorney’s are saying. Attorneys, to be blunt, don’t know how to write for the general public. It’s just a fact – black and white. So, you have to try the best you can to understand exactly what point the attorney is making. And this isn’t easy.
In the meantime, you have to live with the ambiguities the best you can. Things won’t change much in the foreseeable future.
