  • I listen EVERYDAY!

    I learned about this guys through the TIA and stumbled across their podcast. I listened to one of the episodes and was completely hooked. Nate and Ben give great advice for both new and experienced freight brokers. I make it a point to listen to an episode before I start my day and when I am winding down. Do yourself a favor and start with episode #124: Setting Goals if you are looking for practical advice to get started and measure yourself!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rate Cons That Prevent Surety Bond Claims | Final Mile 136
Q: What are the pros and cons of a dispatch service?
Dispatch services can expand carrier access and capacity, simplify operations by consolidating carrier communications, and reduce workload, but require vigilance over who actually handles the load to avoid misaddressed shipments and ensure proper carrier identification and insurance alignment.
Rate Cons That Prevent Surety Bond Claims | Final Mile 136
Q: What is the appropriate way to find a carrier for service failures such as failure to track, late to pick up, etc.?
The hosts discuss documenting the issue, determining whether the fault lies with the carrier, and then clearly listing expectations in the rate confirmation or line-by-line rate con so deductions are legitimate and non-controversial.
"Cash App Me The Money And Trust Me Bro" | Final Mile 135
Q: What is a practical approach for new carriers to get paid when starting with a broker?
Consider structured up-front partial payment after load is verified and the remainder at delivery, but verify broker credit and use secure, auditable payment methods to reduce risk.
"Cash App Me The Money And Trust Me Bro" | Final Mile 135
Q: Are non-traditional payments like Cash App an acceptable method for paying brokers or carriers?
They can happen, but they carry significant risk of fraud and non-recovery, so use established methods (check, ACH, formal factoring) and require traceable, secure processes.
Factoring Fees, Fuel Surcharges, And Freight Weight | Final Mile 134
Q: Why do some carriers care so much about the weight of a shipment?
Weight affects fuel consumption, axle limits, and the ability to wagon multiple loads; heavier shipments require more fuel and can influence margins, while partials must be coordinated with other shipments to avoid inefficiencies.
