Happy Fourth of July

We live in a great country.  As far as I'm concerned it is the greatest country in the planet.  We have faults but we have more freedoms. This weekend as we celebrate our independence we can't forget the brave men and women who have served in our military.  Enjoy time with your friends and family but also reach out to a veteran or someone currently serving in a branch of the military.

Brooke Transportation Training is an approved Chapter 31 program approved to train disabled vets for a new career.  As a result I have the honor of saying thanks in person to scores of brave individuals who have given a part of themselves in service to the USA.

I ask them to tell me their stories if they are comfortable doing that.  For many, serving in the military was their only option as a job when they graduated from high school.  Once they are in the service they never know how or where they will serve.  Some leave behind children and wives, all leave behind family and friends.  They return to find many things changed.  Their children and siblings have grown and moved forward in life while they were away.  They have to get reacquainted with their spouses, this is a challenge to both.  And they have to find a new way to make a living.  We relish the opportunity to work with vets everyday as they move forward after serving our great country.

Independence Day is a day to celebrate our country... The freedoms we enjoy... The men and women who protect those freedoms.  

Enjoy the long weekend and thank a vet.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach

Business Among Friends

Recently I spent some time talking with Joe, a freight broker friend who has hired brokers from our freight broker school graduates.  I asked him about his experience with Brooke Transportation Training Solutions.  Here's what he said:

I started hiring graduates from Brooke's school about 2 months ago and have been very pleased the level of training they have for such a short course.  I met Jeff about 7 years ago when he came in and did training with the sales staff of the brokerage firm I was working with back then.  I started my own freight brokerage about a year and a half ago. It has been going real well.  So, I needed more agents.  That is when I started going in and interviewing Jeff's graduates.  I offer all his graduates an opportunity to work with our brokerage.

In the last few months I have hired several agents from Brooke's graduates.  It has been a great match.  The graduates come in ready to go. I would recommend BTTS to any freight broker who needs agents.  The key to success with these new agents is on going mentoring after they finish their training.  I spend time encouraging our new agents.  I am sometimes the trainer and sometimes the psychiatrist.  We handle administrative needs of our agents so they can focus on making sales, finding new customers who need our help in transporting their loads.

I love working with Veterans.  I'm a veteran myself.  Lots of vets go through Brooke's training, So finding a great agent who is a vet is easy with Brooke.

The great thing about being a freight broker is you have the ability to earn what you want based on the amount of work you want to put in.  As a broker you have to be persistent.  There will be good and bad days but if you keep at it you will be a success.  Don't give up.


Thanks Joe.  If you are a broker looking for agents, or needing some training for your agents give me a call.  If you are wanting to learn to be a freight broker come to one of our courses soon.  You can meet Joe.

Moving forward,

Freight Brokers Trained

We graduated another fine group of students from our basic freight broker training class.  According to these folks, the class is a great place to start in this business.  They learned more than they expected and gained confidence to proceed.  Here’s what they had to say:

Brooke Transportation is a great place to start in the freight transportation industry.  In just one week I have the knowledge and confidence to start and run my own business.  I would highly recommend family, friends, and veterans such as myself to look into this field and take the opportunity for a great place to train in Brooke Transportation and Solutions. --Purvis Jones

My experience this week with Brooke team has been great.  I’ve learned more about the freight broker business in 5 days than I ever thought I would.  Brooke training is a great place to learn about the Freight transportation industry, and if I can give anybody advice looking to become a Freight Broker or Agent they need to come to a Brooke Training class first. --Carlton White


The Brooke Training course is very value for start the business for freight.  I learned pretty much knowledge from them.  I will tell my friends about this class is good to learn knowledge about the freight broker.  Teacher is a very nice person.  Thanks! –Yiming Chen

We certainly appreciate your recommendation of our course to others.  Our goal is to deliver more than we promise everytime.
