An area of our economy that is experiencing incredible growth is natural gas from shale. Freight Brokers looking for a niche of the market with great potential could tap into this growing segment. The energy industry has a variety of transportation needs. This specific segment has given the transportation industry a 7% growth boost.
I just read in my linked in alerts, "The natural gas "shale gale" that has dramatically transformed the
outlook for U.S. energy supplies is also having a profound economic
impact -- creating jobs, reducing consumer cost of natural gas and
electricity, stimulating economic growth and bolstering federal, state
and local tax revenue. A new IHS Global Insight study found that shale
gas production supported more than 600,000 jobs in 2010, a number that
is projected to grow to nearly 870,000 by 2015, while contributing more
than $118 billion in GDP."
As I've discussed in other posts, finding a niche of specialization is a great way to build a freight brokerage. Research the area you'd like to specialize in then when you talk with potential shippers you can speak their language.
Being a freight broker is a great career because no matter the state of the economy, product needs to be transported so there is always work to be found.
