    Try a local prison,,,if you need a school you are not ready to be a broker,,look at it this way a broker is like a pimp,,hookers are shippers and johns are truckers

    I think these broker schools are a bit of a scam. If you are a good salesman then you should make for a good broker.

    How do you get training to become a Broker? Is LDI a good choice?

    Was trying to point a friend in the right direction, he has been a dispatcher for some time but has no idea where to find a place to get licensed at so i am guessing he has to go to school.

    If buy LDI you mean Logistic Dynamics they won't train you they want brokers with books. That being said there are some of their top brokers who have started training under a sub group of the company. The commission is all messed up because is like a company inside of a company. But the training is free. I don't want to step on the advertising rule so can't say much then that.
