There is a difference between a produce broker and a produce truck broker. A produce broker handles produce sales from farmer to market. A produce truck broker supplies the trucking transportation to move the product from farmer to market.
Your best bet is to locate a Produce Blue Book. It will list the shippers, buyers, truckers, farmers, everyone involved with the marketing / shipping of produce. It will also give their credit rating,how quick they pay, business practices, areas & size of operation,etc.
Hauling produce is often called a rolling crap game. Can be great, can be a disaster.Panhandle flash, Redbone311, vikingswen and 1 other person Thank this. -
