I enjoyed talking with you yesterday, and hope to meet you in the upcoming training class. Here is a re-cap:
Our course prepares you to either open a freight brokerage or a freight broker agency. The biggest difference is that it takes a lot more money to open and operate a brokerage, than it does an agency. If you go the brokerage direction you must obtain your license and put up a bond (currently $10,000, but the new DOT government bill is looking to increase this bond to $75,000). If you have great credit, there are bonding companies that finance bonds. The class will go through the business in detail, from start to finish on what you need to do to set up, open and operate a freight brokerage or freight broker agency.
It includes all of the information that you need to get started: laws and regulations, legal requirements, office set-up and equipment/tools that will help you with the business, operations, finding your clients, doing your ratings, accounting set-up, insurance, claims, etc....The course will pay for itself over and over again over time, if you plan to do a freight brokerage or agency.
As we talked about, the next class will be June 24 - 28th (Monday through Friday), 9 a.m til 5 p.m. with a lunch break. To reserve your spot in class make a $500 deposit. We accept major credit cards except Amex. If you want to make other payment arrangements, call me. The balance of $1995.00 will be due before class starts. I can take enrollment by phone or print out and fax in the enrollment form on the front page of our website (www.brooketraining.com)
The class is held in Fort Worth, about 15 minutes west of the DFW airport.
