    You're not supposed to open a freight brokerage without knowing the business. It would be very similar to opening a law office without even being a paralegal. My advice to you is to go out and learn the industry instead of trying to skip the first ten steps of the process.

    The fact that you think that a thread like this will work is highly correlated with you advocating for freight brokerage schools in that other thread. You're coming across kind of dumb trying to start a business that is 100% about being a shrewd operator. I don't have high expectations for you.

    I genuinely laughed out loud when you called 'freight broker schools' education. You got scammed. Full stop.

    Shippers are in a position to seek the assistance of freight brokers in scenarios where carriers are difficult to find, usually due to their load specifications. Niche loads that require a specialized carrier to haul them is a valid market for aspiring brokers to explore. It is often difficult for small shippers to find these carriers on their own, and as a result will need the help of the broker's carrier database.
