Any agents from truckolicity here? Loadtraining does MANY clases where are the agents?

a guy joins and makes that statement on the same day? I call BS

 

Well I've been a lurker for a while now, I just so happened to see something posted about truckalocity so I figured I would help out the OP with my experience with them.

 

There's no easy money in sales. Lots of monotonous and repetitive prospecting, phone calls, door knocking, dealing with every ahole out there that truckers are fortunate enough only to have to deal with it rarely.

I'd bet for every 1 broker that's successful there's AT LEAST another 100 that fall flat on their face. Good luck with that rat race.

 

This is true, it's tough finding great customers that pay decent rates. I have some shipping customers that make me cringe when they send me their daily loads they want moved. For instance, a lumber company that emails me every morning wants a full truckload on a flatbed (48k lbs, tarped) moved from a town in Arkansas to Chicago (725 loaded miles) for only $1200 and work with 8 different brokerages competing to move this cheap freight. If you are a new agent these are the types of customers you will get in the beginning. You'll be working day and night to move loads for peanuts, then you get truckers calling you pissed because you're offering cheap freight.

 

With the responses you're getting on here I don't know why you would do it but thanks for the information . Most drivers are low information / angry / can't understand why they fail when others succeed

 

That doesn't sound fun

 

It was my own show. I had my own trade name and website (still keeping it in case I ever decide to get my own surety bond). You are free to market your agency however you want, you are just using their surety bond and have a commission split with them.

 

Not those type of customers, but the ones with good rates make it fun.
