BoyWander, coming from one of those "smaller brokerages," I can tell you, if you want to work as an agent, you've got a treacherous road to...
Well, I work with new carriers all the time. But I must agree with those above, at $2.35/mi, I wouldn't even dream of dealing with auth and ins....
DAT.com. Has a wealth of info on the shipping industry as a whole. You can get average pricing, etc, as well as trendlines and the outlook of the...
Yes, it's been raised to 75k. And, I apologize for the typo, its BMC-84. Not 64 as I said earlier. Google BMC-84, a lot of companies will come up.
Ryan, sorry about the delay in responding. I've been off here for a while. I never stop cold-calling. Marketing generates revenue, it's as simple...
You are the only one with an intelligent response that seems to have actually read the post in its entirety, and for that, I thank you. Other...
Again, and this isn't for just you, but for everyone commenting and/or pm'ing me about this. READ THE FIRST SENTENCE. This is referencing shippers...

A lot of "if-y" answers in here. First of all, Maverick, I don't know how you broker, but I work for shippers AND carriers, not one or the...
Yukon, Thank you. I guess I need to clarify my statement a little. I did not mean to imply that the brokerage business is a bad choice. Nor did...
Hey, check out netbonds.com. They offer the BMC-64 for a flat rate of I think $1,184.00 annually. Also, many companies are offering a modified...
And, @ O/P, most of these (notice I said MOST) are "scams," in that they will not really teach you how to be successful. Law school will teach you...
@ BigBadBill, you might know something that I don't, but there are no experience requirements (unfortunately) as of yet with FMCSA Broker...
MsFortune, I agree with you 110%! Partners are for dancing. No offense to you, you seem (emphasis on seem) like a smart individual. You're doing...
If you're still looking, PM me. I can work with you on some training, maybe let you do some assistant work with me to get a feel for the business....
