Avoiding Increased Freight Broker Costs
My last blog was on cost increases in the freight brokerage industry. The new transportation bill requires a $75,000 bond to be carried by all freight brokers. But if you become a freight broker agent you do not need $75 thousand to get started. A freight broker agent is similar to a real estate agent or an insurance agent or a franchisee. Yet the cost to get in is a lot less than buying a franchise. The agent represents the brokerage. The brokerage covers the bond costs and is a support to the agent in many other ways. The agent is their own boss but has the support of the larger brokerage. It is the best of both worlds. As an agent you chart your own future. You work hard to find loads and carriers for your brokerage and both parties win.
In our course we teach our students how to open a brokerage and how to be an agent. I've done both. I've had my own brokerage and found great success. I've been an agent for others and found great success.
Have any questions? Give me a call.

Freight Broker Bond Increase
The most recently passed transportation bill has great
impact on our industry as a whole and some very specific ramifications for
brokers.
Under the new bill, the bond requirements for freight
brokers will increase to $75,000 in October so the cost to be a freight broker
will be higher than before. The down side is that it will be a
larger leap to be an independent freight broker financially. Yet the cost still remains significantly
less than most start-ups or franchises.
The upside is that this is still a very affordable line of
work for someone willing to work hard to find success. The higher cost will deter fly by
nighters to jump into freight brokerage.
The best way to succeed is to be educated in the most
efficient process in freight brokering.
We will continue to teach individuals to be freight brokers and freight
broker agents. We are working to
understand all this new bill requires so that we can then teach our students
the most current information.
Have questions?
Give me a call.

Freight Brokers Job Openings
It is a great time to be a freight broker. Just looked through the abundance of job listings for freight brokers in Dallas. There are a lot of companies that need agents to help them find truckers for loads. Now is a great time to get trained and get going as a freight broker.
In my 30 year career in the industry I have found that it is really always a good time to be a freight broker. There are always products that need to be moved across the country. When the economy is ticking it is pretty easy to make money. This is the time to show that you can get the job done, on time, in budget with integrity. When the economy slows only the brokers that have taken care of their shippers get calls.
We have been training freight brokers for over a decade in a process that works. Our students leave the week long training with lots of resources, skills and confidence...just read through some of our testimonials.
So if you are ready for a fast paced career with a great future join us for our next training. At the end of the week we give all graduates job opportunities. Freight Brokerages that need agents actually come to class on Friday and tell the students about their company and offer opportunities.
Got questions or wanna register? Give us a call. 214-206-1169.

brokering can be a very rewarding career for those who want to work hard. If you like a challenge, enjoy building
relationships, and are relatively handy on phone, the computer and internet this could be a great
career for you. The best
jump start into this field is through education. We teach our students the process we’ve used to be
successful. We impart lots of information
and inspiration.
At the
end of the week-long training all our graduates get job opportunities.
If you
are interested in seeing if freight brokering is for you, contact me. I’d enjoy hearing your story,
tell you a bit about me and discuss the value of a career in
transportation. One of my greatest
joys is helping others find success.
Our beginner freight broker training course is only a week. After that week we are available to
help encourage you and answer questions. This quick, informative week can make a huge impact on
your future.
We have an advanced week long class, online course and we can train on site as requested.
Moving
forward,
Jeff
