BCO compensation too low

Business Outlook

Pros

The so called "freedom" of non forced dispatch

Cons

Agents play favorites, good loads never make it to load board. Load board praised as its life blood for BCO's but in reality its mostly junk freight going to dead holes with no out bound freight or very cheap freight. Percentage of load paid to BCO is dreadfully too low to make money at current rates. Proof is in what BCO's are driving for trucks. Mostly old fleet trucks now. 8 years ago more BCO's had late model trucks O/O spec'd. Just proves how standard of living has gone down.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good working enironment, people are nice and friendly, decent pay with commission and bonuses, real close to the beach, right in the middle of PB.

Cons

The pay is decent, not great. The workload can be very stressful and it's the type of industry that has a lot of problems, no matter how organized you are.
