    Hello everyone!
    I’ve been working with transport many years, BUT my experience is only for deliveries “In town” and I always work for the company (not for my own business). So, I’d like to start!
    Can anyone to help me to understand Dispatcher’s or Broker’s job. How it works, what I need (curses, license, contacts), do I need some money to start.
    Am I realistic to start from 0?
    Kids grow up (they do not need my supervision), I have time, energy, desire! I have friends with trucks in Canada and US, I have someone who wants to start something new with me.
    Every suggestions, recommendations, ideas are welcome!
    Thank you
    Walter

    1. You gotta have customers that need freight moved.
    2. You need trucks to deliver it safely with no damages.
    3. Check out YouTube it has lots of useful info. Very hard business to get into, alot of BS n stress.
    Not much info but I hope it helps. Good luck
