What is your background in the industry ? Why do you want to become a freight broker ? What do you see as the biggest obstacles to having success as a broker ?
-
I have no background in the industry. I want to become a broker to do something different in a different field. I also have a family member that has a trucking company and I want to become his broker

This comes up fairly frequently.
Don't do it. Don't attend training. Don't waste your money on classes. If you want to be a broker, go work for a broker and learn on their dime. Freight broker classes/training are a scam and a joke and only identify you as a potential mark.Lite bug, Deere hunter and Ruthless Thank this. -
What do you think will be the biggest obstacles to becoming a successful broker ?
It's easy to take classes in freight brokering and IT CAN be easy to become a working broker if you really want to but it has a very high wash out rate , very high.Lite bug Thanks this. -
I think the biggest problem will be getting the loads and/or the clients since I would be new to the industry
-
I understand the class maybe a waste to some but it isn’t easy just applying to be a broker for a business when you have no experience or training they will overlook me for someone else who has the experienceThouren Thanks this.

Fun fact. I had no experience in logistics when I started this job. Most folks don't. That's why I'm suggesting you start applying for jobs. What's your background? How old are you?
-
Brokerage I work at has very few hires with prior experience or education in logistics. They like seasoned sales guys, but will hire with none if you have the right personality.Lite bug Thanks this.
