    Hey all, I am a recently new broker. I have plenty of experience in sales, I am very friendly and outgoing (I have never really met a stranger). I know I have what it takes in this business and I know I can do it right.
    At our brokerage we do not book loads or get loads that are not paying a good rate. We do not contribute to the problem. We also run our own trucks. We dispatch and do compliance. In other words we are awesome lol.
    I guess I am so overwhelmed by all the ways to go to find prospects for the brokerage side . I don't know what is moving the most, what would be a good way to go?. I just really want to start getting clients and staying steady. I have gotten a few but i want more.Any advice? Feel free to message me also. Thanks.

    What do your trucks average per mile?

    Oversize and overweight is at least $1+ per axel. Flat is around 2.20+
    All depends on the lane.

    I've heard people come here advertising worse. Of course I was joking, we both know I can't give up my little black book.
    However I would question as a broker, why are you handling compliance?

    Man.... I had to do it or someone else would have. Brokers get a bad rep but they're not all bad.

    I'm not in flat anymore anyway.

    I figured as much.
    The only way I would give up any contacts is if I was getting out or if it was a bad client.
    I'm just looking for any honest advice
