Hey fellow freight brokers/agents/coordinators....

Any of you know of some positive forums for building business, further self education, etc....for freight agents? I like TheTruckersReport for general conversation and learning about different companies, but I'm looking for a more positive, supportive forum also, maybe specifically for freight agents/brokers, to continually learn about the business. I drove for 25+ years and became a freight agent 5 months ago. I'm maintaining, but need to grow my business, always have room for knowledge and growth.

Thanks!!

 

The same blue star you are. I use my linkedin for networking, not the forums. And yes, I've been contacted by several 3pl's via linkedin including TQL. I do not, and will never deal with TQL. Just a personal choice, due to past dealings and current calls that I get from them.

 

FWH is the agency code, I'm just an agent, its a bigger company with 9 offices Nationwide. Didn't know about the private groups, thanks.

 

Mostly flatbed freight, legal and OD, some van and some power only. I have a few direct customers so I don't move too much brokered freight. The reason I started this thread was to find some sort of positive forum. It may be fun to take shots at other agencies or agency owners, but when it comes down to it, I'm in business for myself and am looking for ways to improve my business. Does anyone want to work the broker boards, no not really. Thanks for the suggestions so far, but if this thread is going to go down the bashing and negativity path I'll bow out now and ask the mods to delete it.
