Average pay structure for brokers

Brokers do not move anything. Drivers move freight.

 

Riiiight. The people who figure out what goes where on what truck and what to do when something goes wrong... that's no work at all and doesn't contribute in any way to it getting moved.

I do all of the above for about 2000 loads a year. I'm sure you work hard but there's a good chance I work harder.

 

Probably need to define, "harder", here.

 

We would be given the accounts. There is a separate sales team that is out cold calling. So no cold calling. Just bidding/quoting trucks and shipments. Reach out to our current customers and ask if they have any shipments for the day then find the trucks. Company also has multiple trucks they own.

 

Following all shipments ensuring they make their destination. 50+ hours a week.

Account is the ones assigned directly to me. If I make a shipment for an account assigned to someone else then I would only receive 4% of the profit margin. If I make the sale for an account assigned to me I would make 4% then an additional 4%

 

I also have a lot of experience on the resume, but not directly with brokerage. They do want me to sign a non compete agreement.

 

This deal is very good on gross sales and truly crap on gross profit. Where OP lives matters.

I have a guy who covers loads for me. I pay him a flat 50 bucks a load, which is massively better than they are offering you.

 

50+ hours a week. Lol. Try 70+ hours a week, no OT, no compensation except miles driven, or loads delivered. Drivers do a lot of work for free. When do brokers work for free? Or work nights, or on call?
