    Ready to start my own business and become a broker, but I need legitimate traing without spending thousands!

    I just did a quick search, and saw some bad signs. The name is all over the place, but mostly in websites that review scams. Even though these scam websites give the program good reviews, they all seem to be written by the same person. The wording used in the reviews seems to be the same in about 5 or 6 websites I looked at, that gave good reviews to the program.

    The problem is that these days, it is so easy to have a bunch of domain names all owned by the same person. If they make up 25 different domain names for websites, and then pay a company for SEO (Search Engine Optimization), their reviews of their own product will be all you find on Google.

    If you do decide to take a chance, do not pay the $98 it is being sold for. There was a site offering a deal for $49. If you are going to get scammed, at least it will be at half-price.

    Right now, they all are suspect. You really only need this training if you are going on your own and you will need a $75K bond (hard to find a company that is still issuing $10k bonds these days). And without experience and history it is hard to get. And if you don't start it by Oct 1st then you are going to have to work for someone.

    Why?!? Do you know nothing about trucking? You are going to have to work for someone and they will hire you and give you the same training regardless if you have paid this money. The new brokerage requirements should kill this type of business. Some will still do it but they are the ones that don't understand the business.
