Brokering

I would think you could stop by any carrier with 50 or more power units and ask for a copy, otherwise go here to order a single copy.

 

Minimum is 60/40. Volume and margin moves it higher.

 

I really know nothing about brokering but am curious as to how much a broker averages from each load? I know there's 10 million variables but what is a target percentage they shoot for? 10, 20, 30% of what a shipper pays to move freight?

 

I’d say it ranges from a loss to 30% profit with 10% being the median average. I’m sure some do upwards of 15% and some as low as 5% though.

 

If you have your own loads that you can get, great wide would be a good place to look at, I am lease on to them, I don’t know if they will let you become on agent day one, but you may be able to be a sub agent until you can bond your self, if you have volume they have trucks, all in house trucks so you don’t have to go out side on look for a truck to run the load, you place the loads on there load broad that only there trucks and other agents yes other agents will see your loads, but the truck driver will call you and book the load, know as far as split I don’t know

 

Last I checked industry average is 15%.

 

Would absolutely love a 60/40 split. I'm at 75/25 over here!

 

Please tell me that is sarcasm, not a 75 house/25 agent.

 

Hopefully he’s talking from and employee perspective and that is his commission structure or something. I can’t imagine any agent being offered or working for less than a 60/40 split.

 

For a split like that I hope his only job is selling to carriers that call on any loads they have and there is no expectation to find customers.
