    As a brand new broker, I'm looking to connect with and build valuable relationships with owner operators. I respect and understand the fact that without trucks, freight doesn't move. I'm also learning that brokers have a bad rep in this industry. I want to appeal to the need of the drivers as much as I do my customer, I want to create business relationships where all sides are happy with the arrangements. Coming from an owner operator, what would you suggest I do to achieve this? What are all the places on the internet where I can connect with owner operators?

    So to me it is easy, you have to answer the question what can you do for me better than other brokers?

    This starts with full disclosure.

    it moves to who are your customers and do their needs fit into mine, mine are far more important.

    do you have enough capital to pay me when you say I’ll get paid?

    As a O/O I would love to work with a new broker and build a great relationship. The problem is most new brokers do not have the cash flow to make it worth my time to work with them. If you can start out and pay right after delivery like most brokers offing quick pay. Make it for quick pay is better than most other brokers that are Free to 5 Percent. Most are around 3 percent. So beat that and pay on time with clear communication. You will be a winner in no time!

    What industry are you looking to broker?
