A Course on Freight Brokering

The job of a freight broker is basically finding stuff that needs to be moved then finding a truck that can move it. Companies may have a fleet of trucks that move most of their products but then occasionally use a freight broker to move a load that they can't get covered with one of the company trucks. Other companies can't justify owning trucks so they always use freight brokers to find trucks for their loads.

I have been in the trucking industry for a couple of decades in a variety of capacities. I have settled into being a freight broker because I am invigorated by the faced paced nature of the business. As a freight broker you spend a lot of time on the phone, fax, and online. You can work from anywhere you have phone and Internet access.

In the freight broker training course you will learn a process for finding loads and carriers or trucks to move the loads. You will learn the basics of running your own business. You will be encouraged and inspired by trainers that are successful freight brokers.

This is a business that has great earning potential in the long run. A graduate of the freight broker training course will usually start as an agent for an established broker then possibly decide to branch out on their own. It takes about 6 months of calling and establishing relationships before you start making money. Check it out through our elearning site.
