Found a broker loophole at 11pm that saved me $340 on a route from Phoenix to Denver
I had to get my brother's old truck moved from Phoenix to Denver and every quote I got was around $900 to $1,100. On a whim I pulled up the shipping boards at 11pm on a Tuesday and noticed the guys with empty trucks heading east post lower rates to fill space. I called one directly, skipped the broker fee of $340, and booked it for $610 total with a driver named Ray who picked it up Thursday morning. I still used the broker's quote as my baseline so I knew what was fair. Has anyone else tried calling carriers straight off the boards like this, or did I just get lucky with timing?
