How to Pick a School

Education can be quite expensive so when you choose to learn more you need to make a good pick.  You need to do some research.   Read any testimonials from students that have studied what you are going to study.  Talk to graduates to find out what they liked and didn't like about where they were educated.  Pick a program that can prepare you for a career that will have value.  Go into as little debt as possible.

I have been running my freight broker training school for over a decades now.  In my time I've seen schools come and go.  The schools that are just in it for the money, focus on getting students money more than educating those students.  I started my freight broker school after a successful career as a freight broker.  I wanted to give back to the industry by training new freight brokers in what gave me success.  I don't just teach how to do freight brokering.  I also teach the value of integrity.  I am so honored when graduates comment that they were inspired and they were taught. 

We are so thankful that Brooke Transportation Training Solutions earned an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.  We have worked diligently to improve our school, find excellent instructors and keep up with our students.  We are interested in the success of our graduates so we keep up with them and encourage them.

If you are looking for training in the transportation industry give me a call.  I will answer any questions you have with all honesty.  If you are a graduate of our school and need some encouragement give me a call.  If you learned freight brokering elsewhere I'd love to talk with you as well.

Moving forward,

Education Transforms Lives

Today I read this article from a graduate of Prisoner Entrepreneur Program (PEP).  The PEP is an educational opportunity inmates can utilize to learn how to be an entrepreneur, to turn the lives towards becoming productive members of society.   Their success has been amazing.  Isn't this what a correction facility should do? 

 My passion is helping others through education turn their lives around in small and large ways.  This guy turned his life around in a big way by taking advantage of this educational opportunity.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under Heaven.
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance…”
Hope came for me at a time in my life when death at a young age was normal for a kid from my neighborhood. A millionth second chance was presented to me, and it was time to make a decision, once and for all.
I was raised well by my parents, and they did the best they could to keep me on a path of righteousness. I rebelled due to a desire to fit in with my “friends”. I struggled with a deep sense of inadequacy and this only fueled my desire to belong. Sin caught my attention at an early age and kept me wanting more until the age of 21, when I found myself in the county jail with several felony assault charges. I called my family with apologies and good-byes.
I cried out loud with tears in Bexar County Jail, praying Hail Mary’s and Our Father’s, desperately hoping that God would hear me. He heard me and my tears went away. But I still had to pay for my crimes. I was sentenced to three concurrent two year sentences in TDC.
I entered PEP six months before the end of my sentence. After reviewing the PEP application, I knew it was ‘a God thing’. I joyfully signed up and was accepted. PEP has been in my life ever since. God has used PEP to build my character. I have been educated and equipped for success in all endeavors thru PEP. PEP is a refuge, a brotherhood and a lifelong relationship. My story is full of ups and downs pre- and post-PEP. But through it all, I am better, not bitter. Through it all, PEP is still there for me. And through it all, I will continue to move forward, focused on living a life filled with purpose. Without God and without PEP, who knows where I would be today.

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. Now is the time, today is the day of salvation.”

At Brooke Transportation training we have had the privledge to work with a wide variety of people looking to better their future through learning new skills.  We should all be about teaching what we know and learning from others.  

Moving forward,
