Enjoy a Day filled with Thanksgiving


On this Thanksgiving Day I’m reflecting on the amazing blessings dropped in my lap.
  I’m thankful for a God of second chances.  He has graciously picked me up from the mud and let me start over.   

I am incredibly blessed with 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters, each talented in their own special way.  

 

I love and respect my handful of friends.  They treat me with love and respect.  I am thankful I get to work with them in my business.

 

I am thankful for my little cabin on the lake and for my walking buddy dog, Dasher. 

 

 Most of all I am thankful for the beautiful gift God gave me in my wife, Janis.  I love doing life with her.  

 

Happy Thanksgiving,

 

Jeff Roach

 

Thank a Vet


Today is Veteran's Day (originally called Armistice day) set aside to honor those who have served our country and served us in many ways.  It is a national holiday established to celebrate the end of World War I.  I have had the honor and privilege to meet and train many veterans in our freight broker training school.  I highly respect these men and women.  I have found them to be self sacrificing and disciplined.  They excel in our school and go on to be successful brokers.  Their discipline and loyalty is heartwarming.

Our military is a peace keeping organization. Their goal is not aggression but order.  We don't  go out to conquer but to bring peace to all nations.  I am proud of that.  Other nations go out to conquer, dominate and take over.  That is not the goal of our military.  

Take time today to thank someone who has served in the military.

Moving forward,

Columbus Day



History.com
declares:  Columbus Day is a U.S. holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492, and Columbus Day 2021 occurs on Monday, October 11. It was unofficially celebrated in a number of cities and states as early as the 18th century, but did not become a federal holiday until 1937. For many, the holiday is a way of both honoring Columbus’ achievements and celebrating Italian-American heritage. 

But throughout its history, Columbus Day and the man who inspired it have generated controversy, and many alternatives to the holiday have proposed since the 1970s including Indigenous Peoples' Day, now celebrated in many U.S. states and cities.  Why can't we celebrate both?


Christopher Columbus' brave journey to find a new land, establish a new country with religious freedom is part of our history.  The Indigenous people and their amazing resilience in living off the land and then adjusting to the development of America is also a part of our history.  Both sides experienced great hardship amidst great adventure, bloodshed and healing.  We live in an imperfect world alongside others who have good and bad life experiences.

Let's celebrate the goodness in others.  Help those who are struggling along the way and do the very best with what God has entrusted to us. 

Take time this Columbus Day to be thankful to live in a flawed but amazing country of opportunity.  Reflect on your blessings.  Meet someone new with a different background than yours.  Celebrate our bonds and our differences.

Moving forward,

Succeed in the New Economy


We have all had to adapt in many ways to the new way we work.  According to Money magazine, article by Ana Lucia Murilla, working from home has increased the number of hours workers work by as much as 4 per week.  This extra work can lead to stress, exhaustion, burn out and turn over.  

Even so, most workers enjoy working from home.  

Brooke Transportation Training Solutions are experts in doing business in the new digital post COVID world.  We have taught our courses both live and online for most of our 30 years in training.  During COVID we started "live, online" training.  It is the best of both worlds. An instructor is online with you via zoom training students through our proven methods for success.  They teach industry knowledge as well as skills for a better life.  Students testimonials praise the depth and enjoyment of the course.

If you'd like to learn how to be more expert at running your business in this new environment give us a call.  We love to share what we have learned.

Enjoy Labor Day

 

Labor Day is a holiday signed into law by President Grover Cleveland on June 8, 1848.  The law was decades in the making during the Industrial Revolution.  America's economy changed from being primarily agriculture focussed to Industrial focussed.  Labor Union's were formed to negotiate better working conditions for the working class.  Back then, industries ran 7 days a week, working the employees 12 to 14 hours a day.  Through strikes and negotiations, over years, industries recognized needs of employees and adjusted.  The fight to have a reasonable work environment wasn't easy.  But those things that are hard earned are more valuable.  We need to be thankful to those in our heritage who fought for our working rights.  

Labor Day is a day to celebrate a country with freedoms in our workplaces.  A land where the immigrant can come here with nothing and build a career.  We should be thankful we can earn a great wage while still having time for our family and friends.  

I am thankful for the opportunity in American that I have had.  I'm not brilliant. I have just been able to use my God given abilities, worked hard and prospered.  I have over decades built a business that is very rewarding for me personally where I can assist others in finding their own career in transportation.  I am thrilled with the scores of testimonials we get from students about learning so much and being incredibly inspired by our teaching team.  

Be thankful for what you have. Enjoy your Monday holiday doing what you enjoy best.

Happy Fourth of July


We live in a great country.  As far as I'm concerned it is the greatest country in the planet.  We have faults but we have more freedoms. This weekend as we celebrate our independence we can't forget the brave men and women who have served in our military.  Enjoy time with your friends and family but also reach out to a veteran or someone currently serving in a branch of the military.

Brooke Transportation Training is an approved Chapter 31 program approved to train disabled vets for a new career.  As a result I have the honor of saying thanks in person to scores of brave individuals who have given a part of themselves in service to the USA.

I ask them to tell me their stories if they are comfortable doing that.  For many, serving in the military was their only option as a job when they graduated from high school.  Once they are in the service they never know how or where they will serve.  Some leave behind children and wives, all leave behind family and friends.  They return to find many things changed.  Their children and siblings have grown and moved forward in life while they were away.  They have to get reacquainted with their spouses, this is a challenge to both.  And they have to find a new way to make a living.  We relish the opportunity to work with vets everyday as they move forward after serving our great country.

Independence Day is a day to celebrate our country... The freedoms we enjoy... The men and women who protect those freedoms.  

Enjoy the long weekend and thank a vet.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach

Thank a Vet on this Fourth

A Vet and her faithful friend on the 4th

How will you spend this Fourth of July weekend?  At  the lake, boating, cooking out with friends and family while watching or setting off  fireworks?


Remember the vets who fought for and continue to fight for our country.  The land of the free and the home of the brave. Think about what a disabled vet suffering from PTSD thinks of as the fireworks blast off all around.   


God Bless our Vets.  I am blessed to have met and become friends with some of these brave souls. Helping them learn how to work from home is my mission.   Theses men and women are my heroes.  Be safe. Hug your love ones.  Say thanks to our honored military.  Freedom isn’t Free!   God bless America.  


Happy Fourth

A Father's Role

The father in any family sets the tone or culture for that family.  He should be a role model, a mentor, an encourager and a challenger.  Yet many of us and many in our community have not lived up to that role.  Well...It is never too late.  Start now being one other's look up to.

 


At Brooke Training we try to go beyond teaching the transportation industry, we strive to be role models, mentors, encouragers and challengers to the people we are privileged to meet.

So on this Father's Day, I wonder who (in addition to your biological parents) has invested in you? Who has discerned wounds in your spirit? Who has taken you "home" for a season of listening and redirection? Who has taken a back seat to your own growth? Who is it that is always, always "in your corner"?

Or it may be that you now find yourself ready to pour some of that overflow into others who see you as their mentor, a parent, a friend. You honor those who have invested in you when you invest in others that God brings your way.

May this weekend be a time of gratitude for the opportunities we all have to mentor and be mentored by the men in our families and those who need a father figure.  I will spend time with my three girls, my 4 granddaughters and my beautiful bride.  I am blessed beyond measure.

Big Money in Dispatch/Intermodal



I'm happy to announce our newest consulting offering:  

Dispatch and Intermodal (Rail) Consulting

Make more money and run an efficient operation by learning to be an expert dispatcher with Intermodal transportation knowledge from Consultants Tish Cozine and Jeff Roach.  

  

 

Learn Dispatch

 

A dispatcher is needed in virtually every area of transportation.   

 

You are the right-hand man of a freight broker, owner-operator, freight forwarder and trucking company.  A dispatcher is adept at handling all the behind the scenes work involved in getting freight moved.  

 

A trucking company uses dispatchers to find loads for their trucks.  They may have a one-way load and call on the dispatcher to fill the truck on the way back.  This is a critical role for the carrier because they make no money on a “dead head” or a route with an empty or no trailer.  

Learn how to professionally handle the logistics, paperwork, load boards and more.   Dispatchers work both independently and as employees of freight brokers, carriers and manufacturers.  

 

 

Learn Intermodal

 

Gain skills in the use of several forms of transportation to get a load moved to the destination.  During this 3 day consultation  learn  how to convert a 53' van shipments to a 53' intermodal container.   Learn the ins and outs on how to operate the business.  Learn step-by-step best practices in intermodal transportation.  

Some things covered in this consultation:  

• Rail 101
• Door to Door Defined.
• The benefits of Intermodal
• Proper Intermodal Container Loading Procedure
• What is Transloading? 
• Rail Terminology
• Rating/Dispatching


Tish brings over 12 years of experience moving freight across the railroads and would love to share that knowledge with you.   She truly is the best in the country, she does this work every day so she knows what she is teaching.  Jeff Roach has been in the transportation industry for 3 decades, first in dispatch, then sales, starting a brokerage and now Brooke Training.  Jeff has a wealth of knowledge.  He knows how the various areas of the transportation industry mesh.

They will coach you on how to develop the discipline needed to be a success, make money and fulfill your dreams.   Outpace your competition being well equipped to face the opportunities with knowledge and enthusiasm.  

 

If you're interested in learning a new skill, growing your business financially and be able to provide another mode of transportation to your customer, contact us today for this 3 day consultation.   

To join this exciting opportunity call:

A Freight Broker Success Story

 Joy Lanham is a true Brooke Training success story.  


She took the Freight Broker Training class in 2019 and hit the ground running.  She earned more than she could have inmagined her first year as a broker.  Her background prepared her for this home run.

 

She services a “very niche” customer base, she moves sand…lots and lots of sand.  For years, Joy worked in oilfield services, in fracking and in investor relations in eight locations.  She learned how to juggle a lot of balls without a mishap.

 

After her time in the oil field industry she started several businesses from ladies apparel to virtual assistance for entrepreneurs.  Joy has a ‘can do’ spirit that has served her well.

 

Now her passion is freight brokering.  Her brokerage is Last Mile Logistics.  When an oil well is drilled, frac sand is pumped in the last mile of the drilling hole to help produce oil. Last Mile’s main client stores sand and delivers the sand needed to the drilling locations.  The client has their own fleet of trucks but often need more truckloads of sand for a project.  That is where Joy comes in.  She and her team of brokers starts “dialing for dollars”… calling all her trusted carriers.  She fulfills her client’s carrier needs and everyone benefits.  She listens to her carriers and pays them on time.

 

Joy has developed a great relationship with carrier owners and their dispatch personnel. The mutually beneficial, trusting relationship she builds are the key to her success.  She first and foremost respects the drivers.  They risk their lives every day on the nation’s highways.  Big Rigs operators are professional drivers.  They pay intense attention to the road and the cars around them.  Drivers of cars are often distracted, so the big wheels watch out for them.  

 

Joy has plans to expand into water hauling, chemical hauling, and hauling materials like pipe and construction products.  Have questions?  Call her at 682-300-5767.  

 

Want to learn how to find success like Joy?  Join Brooke in one of live, live remote or online classes.   

 

Moving forward,

Who Do You Listen To?


One voice says, "you are a winner."  Another claims, "you aren't college material".  

Those were two voices in my past.  I had to choose to believe the voice that told me I could be successful... along time before I actually achieved success.  To this day I am amazed at the incredible life, family and business I enjoy every day.   My desire is to help others along in their pursuit of success.

I was interviewed by Faith Washington and spoke about the crucial encouragement I got from the amazing woman who told me I was a winner.  I am now honored to have the opportunity to pay it forward.  We have many disabled vets come through our freight broker training course.  Many of them have a similar story to mine.  

Watch my time with Faith:

Resurrection Day is Coming

This week Christians, all over the world, reflect on Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s last week on earth.  Thursday night was a remembrance of when Jesus and his disciples had their last supper together, the Passover meal.  They broke bread and drank wine.  Those two elements have since been a reminder of Christ’s body and blood sacrificed for all of mankind.   

 

Today is Good Friday, reflecting the day Christ was sacrificed on a cross for the forgiveness of sins to all who believe.   It was a rough, confusing day for those closest to Jesus.  It seemed to be a tragic day for them when they witnessed the death of  their friend Jesus, the man they put their hope in. Jesus had predicted and told them all that would happen, yet they didn’t understand.  It was unbelievable, but it happened.  Even Jesus didn’t want to die that way, but he chose to because He loved mankind.

 

But that is not the end of the story.

 

On Sunday morning when ladies came to the tomb to anoint Jesus body in the Jewish tradition, Jesus body was gone.  The only thing left in the tomb were the burial wrappings that had been on his body.   He had said he would rise from the dead and it appeared that he did.  It is quite a story.    Yet 2000+ years later millions have believed and lived their life trusting in Jesus and His love.

 

I don’t ever want to offend anyone that has a different belief, that is not my intention.  I enjoy listening to and respecting the beliefs of others.

 

Enjoy these days to celebrate time with family,  laugh as the little ones hunt for eggs and get extra rest.  Let’s seek peace for all of mankind.

 

Moving forward,

Great Career Training


                 Gilbreath-Reed Career and Technical Center in Garland, Texas

 

Everyone loves a good story.  This one starts when I met a couple of men who stand tall among men.  The work they do will have a grand impact on the future. 

 

 Joe Guiterrez,  and Coleman Bruman are a principle and a teacher who really care about their students in Garland Independent School District.

 

Brooke Training was asked to come and talk to the phenomenal students of Gilbreath-Reed Career and Technical Center.  We were very honored to be invited.  It was a great day.  We had a wonderful time with lots of laughs.  Tish Cozine, one of our amazing instructors, demonstrated to the students how to be a freight broker.  In 15 minutes she closed a deal on a load while all the students watched in awe.  The load was tendered, she covered it and dispatched the driver.  The kids actually helped her with the posting of the loads, rating, and sending over rate confirmation.  In class that day they were doing the real job of a freight broker and loving it.  They learned the exact process we teach in our freight broker training course. 

 

Tish shared with the class that she had 45 other loads like that one that she will handle in the next week and every week until further notice.  That is residual freight, freight that goes on the same truck or trucking company every week.  That is the kind of freight all brokers love. The students used their math skills to figure out how much money she would make that next week based on the deal Tish just brokered.     The students were enthusiastic, respectful and eager to learn.  They saw the value of good, honest work, professional dealing and negotiating. 

 

I see a bright future for these students.  At Brooke we hope to have more opportunities to interact with high school students interested in great careers in the transportation industry. They can prepare for a prosperous future online as a freight broker/agent, dispatch, supply chain, green supply chain and entrepreneur courses.  

 

If you know of a career center that would enjoy this presentation, give me a call.

Fishing Freight Broker


A great advantage of being a freight broker or freight broker agent is being able to work anywhere with conductivity.   I love fishing, especially at Florida's beautiful white sand beaches and in their turquoise waters.

When I need a fishing excursion to clear my cobwebs, I plan a trip.  I take my phone and my computer with me, get a place that has a good internet connection and I'm good to go.  I can do my work and enjoy some refreshing sea air at the same time.

I believe that atmosphere is very important for mental health.  Working from home is a great perk but can get lonely.  Most of America learned to work from home this past year.  It is important to have a work/home/play balance.  That became a bit of a challenge when home was the workplace.  Since I've been working from home for years it was not an adjustment for me.  

In our freight broker training course we teach the skills needed to be successful as a freight broker.  We also share a plethora of advice on how to work from home, how to have that work life balance, how to stay focussed and inspired.  We give detailed information on how to structure the day.  You learn how to set goals with a mission statement for your business.

Being an entrepreneur is exhilarating when you see your plans falling into place.  Each day you succeed in hitting goals you are more inspired to continue on.

We are so proud of the success we see in our graduates.  We would love to take you along for the ride.  Our testimonials say it all.  Read a few, or watch them on video.  Our graduates are not only inspired for their new career they gain new inspiration for life.

Honor Our Veterans


We have the great honor of meeting many veterans.  Since we are certified to train disabled vets through our school, we spend quality time with these heroes.   These are amazing individuals with a perspective on life that has taught me so much about humility and commitment.  

Our mantra is to "help the go-getters and the go-givers".  Veterans are both.  They have actively served our country with their lives and given so much muscle and brain power to the peacekeeping mission of the military. We have a compassion for Veterans.  Many come from challenging backgrounds and have no other option for their life than to sign up to serve.  They did what they needed to get the government benefits of service, which includes training in a new career.  We take that benefit very seriously.  We know it was not earned easily.  What an honor to be a part of their new journey. 

I actually started my adulthood in a similar same spot.  I thought I had no future because I didn't have the brains nor the money to go to college.  I thought I would live a paycheck to paycheck, barely squeaking by.  With the help of God, some teachers who believed in me and my amazing wife I have found success.  I try to never take that for granted.  My success is a gift I want to share with others.  

In order to be certified to train military we completed a lot of reports.  My wife, Janis has spent countless hours preparing immaculate reports.  We are regularly audited which requires large amounts of documentation.  She stays on top of all of this so we can continue to train these men and women of integrity. 

We have a group of freight brokers who are at our door every course wanting to hire our veteran graduates to become agents.  These guys don't call in sick.

Probably the most important thing we teach them is how to be an entrepreneur.  We teach what they should do every day between 8-9 a.m. then what they should do from 9-10 a.m. and so on through out the day.  So many end up in grateful tears because they have never been taught these things.   Gratitude is the healthiest of emotions.

My promise to veterans is that everyone associated with Brooke Training finds it a great honor and privilege to work with vets.  We thank you for your service and would love to have you in our class.

Moving forward,
