absolutely not. Brokers normally use this charge to add to their margin. The only rate the carrier is entitled to is what is on the rate confirmation. Also that rate is only valid if the service that is described on that rate confirmation is met. Rates can be, and should be, deducted if the carrier is late for pick up or delivery.
