Free Freight Broker Training

Take advantage of our summer 2 for 1 deal.  Pay for one and get one person trained for FREE.  Many husband and wife teams get trained this way, 2 siblings, cousins, you and a stranger you find on the street or 2 friends enjoy getting trained together.  We don't care how you know the second person you bring, we just want you to bring another with you.  The industry needs both of you.

Transportation Jobs are plentiful.  

 Indeed is looking high and low for freight brokers.  I got an alert about  Dallas area Freight Broker jobs.  I scrolled through the pages of offerings.  Many said URGENT or multiple positions available and that was in the Dallas Fort Worth area only. The jobs are available across the country.  And many are work from home opportunities.  

The transportation industry has an abundance of jobs for those who are trained and willing to work.   We'd love to help you get prepared for a career as a freight broker, freight broker agent, dispatcher and other positions in the freight broker industry.  A certification from our school will do well for you.  You will have an advantage in job prospecting.   Those who get training hit the ground running.  They get a head start over those without training.  

On Fridays of our one week basic course Freight Brokers who are looking to hire agents come to recruit from our graduates. Those brokers know that the candidates they get from Brooke will be prepared for the position in skills and in enthusiasm.  

Join us in a class live or online soon to learn the skills needed to be in this great career.  Have any questions?  Give us a call.  I will answer your concerns with no pressure.  Hope to see you soon.  The sky is the limit with Brooke Transportation Training. 

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach

BOGO Freight Broker Training

BOGO= Buy one, get one.  Buy one tuition get one for free.   Join us for our live Freight Broker Training Course and bring another for free.  Bring a friend, a spouse or a business partner and you can double your learning. 

Often freight brokering is a family business so getting two trained for the price of one is a great deal.  We will often have a husband and wife train along side each other.  Each benefits and each comes away with a different piece of knowledge.  Since our brains all intake information differently, we retain different bits.  Have you ever gone to the doctor with a friend of spouse?  As you discuss the appointment on the way home each heard different stuff--am I right?

So come to our training to learn how to be a prosperous freight broker, but don't come alone.  Learning is more fun and more efficient with a buddy. 

 My wife and I work together.  We see things very differently.  That can be challenging but it is also eye opening.  She sees things that need to be seen that I don't notice.  And vice versa.  Call us to sign up or just to ask questions. 214-206-1169

A Truck Driver’s New Job

Robert, a laid off truck driver, gave me a call. His wife had found Brooke Transportation Training blog while helping her man in his search for a new career.  She gave Robert the number. Robert called me to ask me a lot of questions about our freight brokers classes. We had a great talk.  Here is his story:

“I’ve been a truck driver for 19 years.  For the past 6 years I have been a contract driver for the post office driving a route between distribution centers in Virginia.  The post office stopped my route in March.  This is the first time in my life I have been laid off.  The first time I have applied for unemployment. I could get another truck driving job but I would most likely have had to move.  With my post office route my wife and I were able to move out to some acreage and buy some ponies.  As a freight broker I will be able to work out of my ranch, take care of my ponies and be with my family.

I found the freight broker online training course through my local community college’s partnership with the online education company (Ed2go) that administers the course written by Brooke Training.  I researched it online.  It was perfect.  I could do all my work from home.  I have 6 months to complete the course but my plan is to finish in 2 months, get started and still have 4 months I can go back and review some of the things in the course. 

And I won’t even have to pay for the course.  My unemployment contact gave me a grant application.  If approved I won’t have to pay anything back.  

Ideally I want to be an independent freight broker but realistically I know I’ll need to be an agent for an established freight broker.  They’ll help me with cash flow, legalities and other expenses.  It is a low cost business to start. 

It is a little scary, but I’m looking forward to my new career“

Ready for a change this year?  Take our course live or online.  Education is empowering.  To view our online freight broker training course click:  http://www.ed2go.com/career/training-programs/freight-broker-training or join us for the live course in Dallas, California, North Carolina or Florida www.transportationtraining.com.
