Starting my own brokerage

Get your bond in place. Don't know I'm helping you...I hate brokers, they're like vultures. I wish the shipper or receiver would simply call the carrier themselves.

 

Not sure....think it's only $10,000. though.

Brokers are essential to shippers as it takes away all the hassle of the shipper having to line up a bunch of trucks. Without brokers it would be alot tougher for an O/O to run independant unless he was willing to buy a fleet in alot of cases. I dont mind the broker idea at all as I have good negotiating skills. If I dont get my rate then I simply dont haul...

 

Why on Gods green earth would any of you help someone find information on "how to set up a brokerage"?


If they cannot figure it out for themselves because they have no experience or contacts then how do you expect them to run a company without cutting the hell out of the rates?

Eventually "gotta do what ya gotta do" will use that philosophy when cutting the rates to pay his bills because he never should have been a broker in the first place.

Rates in this industry go backwards because of all the inexperienced people involved trying to get a piece of what they think is easy money.

 

Hmmmmmm......that sounds about right for a broker.
