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.

Moving forward,

The Sky's the Limit

Would you like a career where the potential for growth is in your hands?  Our mantra at Brooke Transportation Training Solutions is "The Sky is the Limit with Freight Broker Training".  We chose that tagline because that is what we have seen happen in the lives of many of our freight broker training school graduates.  A freight broker with the right training and support can achieve a great income and a great lifestyle working from home or anywhere with a computer, internet and a phone.  The sky is the limit.

That is what happened in my life.  If you knew me as a child you would not peg me as one most likely to succeed in life.  I had a lazy eye, so I was not perceived to be able to succeed in school.  I was put in the "special" class because I was a cross eyed kid.  But I was also a hard worker and a natural salesman. (and I had surgery on my crazy looking eye)

I worked hard to graduate from college with the help of my beautiful bride. I have worked in just about every position in the freight transportation industry.  I learned the business working my way up.  I have found great success and have been able to provide a great life for those I love along the way.  

I didn't look the part of a successful entrepreneur but that is what I became.  I started a freight broker training school to share what I learned the hard way.  I also wanted to teach others that you can succeed in this industry with integrity.  Choose to always work with honesty.  You will not regret it.  

If you are thinking about jumping into the transportation industry.  Give me a call.  I talk with many professionals about this career.  I will ask you a few questions to determine if I think you have the right skills to succeed as a freight broker.  If freight brokering is not for you I can suggest some other career training opportunities, many with job offers at the end, through our online courses.--click the online career center tab on our site.

Give me a call.

Working with Carriers

As a freight broker or freight broker agent, it is wise to develop working relationships with carriers of all kinds.  Some shippers have their own fleet of carriers.  The tendency of new freight brokers is to assume that those shippers don't ever need a broker.  That is simply not the way it works.  Even though they have their own goods that they move across the country all the time, they often need a broker to fill an empty or partially empty truck (LTL/less than truckload) on their return trip.  If a truck can haul a load both ways it is more profitable, more efficient and more environmental.  A full truck both ways saves fuel and the truck drivers' time.

Private and "for hire" motor carriers are companies that provide truck transportation.  The private carriers have cargo to move.  The "For Hire" motor carrier provides transportation of loads belonging to others that don't have a fleet.  During peak seasons of cargo movement (i.e. harvest time for farmers or Christmas stock for retailers, etc.)  a private carrier may need a "for hire" motor carrier to help with their excess loads.   There are two types of "For Hire" motor carriers:   Common and contract.  

As a freight broker establishes his business he should figure out a focus industry.  As a broker focuses on a specific business he will learn who needs his services.  A freight broker or freight broker agent knows he is on the road to great success when he gains repeat business.

Get to know shipper and carriers.  Establish a solid business reputation of integrity.  Work hard and you will find success.
