Truckers were asked what they would change about their industry, and many had a quick answer: get rid of brokers.

What's happening: A video capturing truckers’ opinions revealed frustration towards these middlemen who they say take away significant portions of their earnings.

• The video showed multiple drivers echoing the sentiment that brokers are a burden to the industry.
• One driver said, "Cutting out brokers could mean fairer pay directly to the ones doing the job."

This ongoing issue of middlemen highlights a desire for more direct operations and better financial transparency.

Details matter: Brokers often negotiate loads between shippers and drivers, sometimes retaining a substantial fee from the transaction.

While views may vary, the call for change is clearly palpable among those behind the wheel.

• Concerns about the fairness of broker fees have been a recurrent topic for years.

Whether or not a shift will happen soon remains to be seen, but the trucking community isn't shy about expressing their views.
