how to find freight agent jobs(WA)

How open are you to relocating? Ideally you want to start at a do-it-all-yourself shop like TQL or one of the smaller TQL clones.

Not because TQL is such a great place to work, but because their freight broker role is a 360 degree role where you get experience with every part of the process.

 

Not TQL specifically. What you want is a freight brokerage role where you are doing sales AND covering trucks. The two together is where the money is. Let them separate you from the trucks and you'll never be able to go independent and will spend your whole career dependent on big logistics firms (which sucks). Let them separate you from the sales and you won't have a book of business to start out with or any idea if going out on your own is even a good idea.

Basically what I'm saying is that you want a job where you get to do everything rather than specializing in a narrow role. This rules out CH Robinson and Coyote if you're looking to go the independent agent route eventually.
