Say I want to move a shipping container (20', 40', HQ's, etc) to a receiver without any equipment to unload it... What exactly do I need equipment...
Maybe. 'He went crazy' doesn't sound like DSK is going to get another load on that account unless someone is desperate. I read this post and it...
It's a benevolent cycle. Everybody wins. You, the customer, and the broker. A good broker is absolutely worth their cut. A good broker seems like...
Landstar gets away with what it gets away with because of its sheer size and scale. Truthfully the big legal reason why brokers hate double...
They have their own freight. Lots of it. They also run the biggest double brokering operation that I know of lol.

I think you should bring this up with someone else at the company to make sure that your ### is covered. Big brokerages are very corporate, but...
Somebodies parents taught them that whining will solve your problems lol. I'm sure she's going to have a great time in the trucking business.
All kidding aside let us know how it goes. There's a tiny part of me that hopes they fire you so that I can advise you on what to do next.
Seriously my main account right now I worked for a year before it moved the first load. 5 accounts in three weeks is fine. I would probably hire...
3 weeks is extremely early in the sales cycle. The fact that your bosses don't know this is a little bit scary.
You're looking to become an agent for an established brokerage right? That's going to vary by brokerage. I'd call around. I'd also steer clear of...
One of the things you'll see a lot is heavily asset based brokerages struggling to pay market rate prices with high spot rates. This is because...
