I've been in the transportation industry for over 3 decades. I've spent the bulk of my career as a freight broker, freight broker agent or teaching others the skills of freight brokering. It has been an amazing ride. I've made a great income to support my family, I'm my own boss and I have met many incredible people along the way.
As a freight broker I talk to a lot of carriers. Truckers are salt of the earth individuals. They love America, grandma and apple pie. They spend a lot of time away from their family on the road but they are family guys. Truck drivers are a tight knit group because their jobs are unique. Their truck cab is their office and many have a decked out office. They take pride in their work and in their rig. Truck drivers are hard workers who earn their living one mile at a time.
As a freight broker I also talk with a lot of manufacturers or product distributors. Their job is to get their products to market. I negotiate how that is going to happen. If I make sure their loads get delivered where they want, when they want then I make their day. A key element in getting a keeping good customers is consistency in delivery. Of course there will be weather, traffic and truck breakdowns delays. So long as I let my customer know there is a potential slow down, they understand. They don't a surprises, like when the load is not delivered when they thought.
If you'd like to talk about this great career, give me a call 214-206-1169.
Moving forward,
