    I am new to the freight brokering business and I am looking for someone to shadow under and listen to a couple of calls just to understand the basics to communicate with other companies and getting shippers. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Half of the brokers I talk to are just reading a script off of there computer.
    They don't know the freight, the business, or anything about trucking. So don't feel like your new to this

    I'm not even sure how I am supposed to approach the shippers let alone what I am supposed to be asking for. I have tried looking for scripts too and nothing has turned up. I'm willing to provide my phone number too if someone could just give me some tips.

    I've worked in dispatch. I'm looking to expand outside from that. All I'm basically asking for is a mentor. The company I'm with now isn't providing the assistance I need.

    Once I called CH Robinson Worldwide for my dispatch information because my Qualcomm told me to and I was talking to someone at home that had dogs barking in the background noise and kids playing
