2. A freight broker needs to have the proper training
I touched on this earlier, but I can’t stress the importance of this! Training and knowledge are so important. You really need to be up on the business and know the rules before you tackle your own freight brokerage firm.
There are numerous books out there for you to read. Most of these can be found online. You’ll need some business course, and related training too.
Additionally you will want to attend a freight broker school. There are several to choose from, some are online and some are in a more traditional setting.
Here are just a few that I firmly recommend to you:
- Freight Broker Bootcamp;
- Freight Movers School;
- Brooke Transportation Training Solutions, LLC (BTTS);
- Transportation Training Group (TTG);
- American Broker Academy (ABA);
- Load Training;
- JPL Enterprises International, Inc..
It is up to you to decide which is best for you! But check them out and compare what they offer with your needs.
