I’ve
been in the transportation industry for 3 decades, working in almost all areas.
I’ve spent most of my career as a
freight broker, a freight broker trainer and a coach. I have found great success and been able to use my natural and learned skills. Transportation is a dynamic industry, a critical element in
our nation’s economy. All products
need some transportation. So there
is always a need for reliable, trustworthy freight brokers. A freight broker matches companies who
have products with carriers who can move those products. A freight broker often helps carriers
find a return load so they make money on both legs of their trip.
I’ve
been asked if there are different levels of broker certification (i.e., Master
Broker,
Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Journeyman Broker)?
There is truly only one level of broker certification, Property Broker, commonly called a Freight Broker. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) does not recognize any other title than Property Broker.

I love my
work as a freight broker and I love mentoring upstart freight brokers as
well. We teach a basic freight
broker training course as well as an advanced course. The advanced course adds more hands on opportunity for the
student but not a higher certification.
I continue to consult with my students long after they finish either
course. I find much satisfaction
in seeing my student find success as a freight broker.
If you have
an interest in learning more, we have live and online classes monthly listed on our website. If you have any questions at all don’t hesitate
to contact me.
Moving
forward,
