Broker your own loads

you need to have your own authority. the biggest problem is when you have 1 truck its hard to get anybody to talk to you . for the most part individual have an easier time covering a regular run every week. there must be an incentive for a shipper to switch to and individual for a load and that is price or service. if you can tell a guy you will take this load every Monday you may have a shot . now that said you have to be prepared what to do if you have a breakdown or cant make it and you may have to use a Broker to find another truck

 

There are some carriers that will lease you on that will allow you to run load boards and pick freight

 

thats not brokerin your own loads the loads on a load board are put on there by frieght brokers

 

Okay so what would you call it?

 

Don't see why not. You'll just need to set up a separate entity on the brokerage side.

 

you need broker age authority or licence along with your truck authority

 

Get ur BMC-84 Bond, OP-1, freight insurance, USDOT number, FMCSA then yeah. By federal law Double brokering 15% is illegal so I’m pretty sure that implies that freight brokering has a 15% percent cap. If ur an owner already add 15% of ur last years gross to ur yearly gross & decide is it worth getting, (350,000 average 52,500 tacked on) now if u own ur own company with more than just one driver, ya it’s worth it!
