exactly ! yes they get paid more but spend lots of money to be wg and must be a team so double cost of living on road and well basically 1 accident and driving career could end if wreck is at fault with a large claim!
So very true but I as a small carrier credit check every broker before load is accepted. And I use a non recourse factoring company my rate was 5% but has gone down to 3% with the volume I run.
