    So to stay in transportation, what would you suggest freight brokers to be doing?

    So let me get this right. You're a freight finder that can't find any freight, so you're asking the guys you're supposed to be finding the freight FOR, where to find it, so you can get a piece of the money for finding said freight, ultimately taking money from our pockets.
    Gee, wonder why people aren't too forthcoming with the information....LOL

    All I am saying is that technology has a way of opening the doors to some jobs and closing others, at some point in time I personally don't see a need for brokers, or at least not as many.

    You have admitted you are already struggling in this field, so I guess I will ask, what experience do you have? What made you decide to start this venture?

    I have no experience in the field other than a few trucks I drove back in the days and the experience I gained from a father who was a truck driver himself. What made me decide to start this venture is love for transportation.
