Lol, I get it. It's not like I don't understand building a clientele/buissiness is hours/yrs of really hard frustrating work and there are few shortcuts. I've been a blue collar worker all my life if anybody believes in fair pay its myself, I'm not out to cheat steal or rob anybody of what they deserve. If anything appeals to me most it is the fact I can do something less physical and easier on my body and in a convince of a home office without travel.Im not considering this path because I'm looking for a get rich scheme screwing truckers.
Good luck, after all, it is supposed to be capitalism and someone else's frustrations (mine) are irrelevant. If you can make money here by doing whatever your idea is, that means that there was a place for you. As far as I am concerned, the less the middle men I see, the more I feel better. Having said that, you're more or less asking of how to become a broker or a dispatcher...that's an idea tried by many and takes some skill to succeed. It is a competitive area too. It takes more than a semi-automatic procedure of matching available loads from shippers to available trucks. Some brokers have already programs that make it possible to book a load from their customers - shippers without a human interaction. The skill is about finding well enough paying shippers and then making sure that you allow the loads to be booked by trustworthy carriers.
You have a bunch of guys here that are on the top of their game. Years into the transport field with hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars invested. You don’t just walk into starting a brokerage without capital, strong sales skills, and a in-depth knowledge in the 3pl/ transport field. If you are looking for a solution to a problem. Ask away, lots of experiences. If you are looking for a “quick into” you are wasting your time. Without the said above, you will be like most that fail. The competition is established, experienced, at the top of their game, and are wealthy. If you think you can do better, you are my kind of guy! Learn about the transport industry (college and working for a brokerage/ operations side of trucking), build wealth and confidence, then jump in. Otherwise you may be swallowed alive by failure. I wish you the best and highly suggest go work for a brokerage or in operations at a great trucking company first.
I still don't know what's up with Lubbock. I don't run Texas at all unless one of my 2 customers sends me there. That has happened once in the last 3 years.......but I'm curious. What's up with Lubbock?
Are you sure about the “ no participation trophies?” I thought that’s what the Bobtail . Road trainer type titles were ???
