Honor Our Veterans


We have the great honor of meeting many veterans.  Since we are certified to train disabled vets through our school, we spend quality time with these heroes.   These are amazing individuals with a perspective on life that has taught me so much about humility and commitment.  

Our mantra is to "help the go-getters and the go-givers".  Veterans are both.  They have actively served our country with their lives and given so much muscle and brain power to the peacekeeping mission of the military. We have a compassion for Veterans.  Many come from challenging backgrounds and have no other option for their life than to sign up to serve.  They did what they needed to get the government benefits of service, which includes training in a new career.  We take that benefit very seriously.  We know it was not earned easily.  What an honor to be a part of their new journey. 

I actually started my adulthood in a similar same spot.  I thought I had no future because I didn't have the brains nor the money to go to college.  I thought I would live a paycheck to paycheck, barely squeaking by.  With the help of God, some teachers who believed in me and my amazing wife I have found success.  I try to never take that for granted.  My success is a gift I want to share with others.  

In order to be certified to train military we completed a lot of reports.  My wife, Janis has spent countless hours preparing immaculate reports.  We are regularly audited which requires large amounts of documentation.  She stays on top of all of this so we can continue to train these men and women of integrity. 

We have a group of freight brokers who are at our door every course wanting to hire our veteran graduates to become agents.  These guys don't call in sick.

Probably the most important thing we teach them is how to be an entrepreneur.  We teach what they should do every day between 8-9 a.m. then what they should do from 9-10 a.m. and so on through out the day.  So many end up in grateful tears because they have never been taught these things.   Gratitude is the healthiest of emotions.

My promise to veterans is that everyone associated with Brooke Training finds it a great honor and privilege to work with vets.  We thank you for your service and would love to have you in our class.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach

The American Dream through an Indian's Heart

Krish Dhanam, Brooke Training Guest Speak extraordinaire

I hope to improve our freight broker training courses, continually.  Years ago I met an amazing man from Southern India named Krish Dhanam.  He embodies the American dream, rags to riches, immigrant to outstanding and proud American citizen.  He inspired me greatly I knew he could be an inspiration to our freight broker students, so I ask him to come speak to our live classes whenever he can. 
Here is a bit of Krish's biography:
Krish was born in Vizag in Andhra Pradesh and finished his formal education with an MBA at the Institute of Management Technology in Ghaziabad. Equipped with that learning he migrated to the US in 1986 with his bride Anila. Winning a sales contest in 1990 earned him a ticket to a seminar conducted by the legendary motivator Zig Ziglar.  This chance encounter would be the catalyst that shaped the next two decades as Krish joined the Ziglar Corporation in 1991 as a telemarketer and eventually became their Vice President of Global Operations. 
Through training, teaching and facilitating seminars all over the world, Krish launched his professional speaking career. Krish has successfully delivered his message of hope, humor and balance in seventy countries on six continents.
As a curriculum designer he has authored programs on staff development, sales, leadership, personal development and communication. His client list is the who’s who of global enterprise and he has received accolades from some of the most distinguished organizations including The United States Army, American Airlines, Etihad Airways, Christian Dior, Marriott Hotels, Cadbury Schweppes, Hitachi Consulting, Ryan, EDS, Texas Instruments, Toshiba, Pepsico, Enterprise Rent a Car and Energizer Batteries, Apollo Hospitals and Cognizant and after today Netzsch.
Today’s he is CEO with Skylife Success, co-founder of Krish Dhanam Training and President of Mala Ministries and serves as a global adjunct with Ravi Zacharias. He is the author of The American Dream from an Indian Heart and From Abstracts to Absolutes and contributing author to the book Top Performance written by Zig Ziglar. His latest book Hard Headed and Soft Hearted was co-authored with Rick Belluzzo former President of Microsoft.
The Dhanam's make their home in Flower Mound, Texas.

I am very honored that Krish is willing to share some of his wisdom, humor and inspiration at our school. 
Join us at Brooke Training and hear from some of the most talented trainers on earth.
Moving forward,

Be of Good Cheer

There are just a few days left until Christmas, then we will be gearing up for the New Year.  As New Year approaches I like to take time to reflect on the blessings of the year and the hopes for the New Year.  I am thankful for my freight broker training school and all the amazing people who take our courses.  I have the privilege of meeting and encouraging so many industrious professionals as they learn the new skills needed to succeed in the freight broker world. 

From what I've seen and read this new year will be a great year for the transportation industry.  New technologies and new trade agreements are fueling the uptick in transportation stocks.  It should be a very exciting year for freight brokers and freight broker agents as they negotiate new deals with new customers.

We are ready to train up lots of new freight brokers in 2017.  Our instructors are skilled and entertaining.  They understand the industry inside and out. If you want to learn how to be a successful freight broker join us for one of our upcoming courses, live or online.

Brooke Transportation Training Solutions has been training freight brokers for a few decades now.  You can count on us to have the experience to train thoroughly and answer any questions you may have.

Moving forward,
