What to Expect From Episode 27

Craig and I discuss the difference between transactional relationships and lasting relationships. Most brokers work with owner operators like it's a transactional relationship. Basically, they don't care if they ever do business with you again, and that's how they treat you, and some will try to take advantage of you. Because of that, you need to be careful with how you deal with them so you are protected.

Here are the main things you need to watch out for, we cover them in detail during this episode, including what you can do to prevent them from happening to you:

• Not getting paid for a load

Other Things to Be Careful Of:

• Watch out for brokers who promise the world.
