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.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach

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.

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:

I invite you to come to our Brooke Transportation Training.  We teach skills but more importantly we inspire all our students towards success.
