You would be acquiring your customers by any means, mostly cold calling. Good luck with the venture! Take care of your carriers!
Lite bug and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
My best advice is be honest and do your very best to keep your word to everyone you deal with.Ringo1 Thanks this. -
You need to do your due diligence and research. Just like truck capacity saturation within the marketplace there is also broker saturation.
That being said there are some great tools and boot camps out there to gain knowledge. Just remember that nothing is free and you need to pay to play.
Good luck and as stated within this thread be honest to both your shippers and carriers. -
Nah, you don't need to pay to play as a broker. like @PPDCT , if i remember correctly, has said many times: Get on at a brokerage and learn on someone else's dime. When you think you are ready, take a year and dispatch or something until your non-compete is over and then strike out on your own. Anyone offering you a "training course" to become a Freight Broker is a SCAMLite bug Thanks this. -
Just undercut/bid the current brokers. And pass it on the the drivers. That seems to be the new norm.
Snailexpress and zmster2033 Thank this. -

Things like how often, or the last time called, or what's discussed or how far along you are with them?
Lonnnnnnggg time lurker, but now getting ready to jump in as a freight broker agent and hopefully broker down the road, and I'm hoping to take advantage of any technology solutions that can assist me in my efforts...
