I just received a bunch of comments from the latest group of soon to be freight brokers who took our basic course. I appreciate all our instructors who month after month do an excellent job imparting lots of invaluable knowledge to our students. I have the privledge of talking with many who call in to enroll in our course. I am confidant when I talk with them that they will get much out of the course because of all the graduates comments like these.

Hard Working Freight Broker
In an up market, making money is easy. In a down time you have to work harder. You have to manage - not get managed. A broker is like a quarterback - He or She is in charge while doing business. You better know the play-book and how it works. That's what we teach at Brooke Transportation Training.
Transportation management is critical to the shipper. As a broker, you must manage risk and manage cost while providing quality service and communication. Those are the elements that make you invaluable to your customer.
The freight broker is also critical to the carrier/ owner operator because you can find them residual freight that pays well enough for them to make a profit.
The Guy at the top of the billion dollar companies cares about his people, planning and the numbers on his profit and loss as well as balance sheet. Help him any way you can by keeping his people happy and working the numbers for profitability.
The goal is to get everyone educated, build solid relationships based on trust and communication. Bring character back into this industry, not characters.
Come and Get Some Education then educate your carriers and shippers. This is a very serious situation. This industry is thirsty for respect. We must stop the bleeding and get to work making things equitable to the shipper, the carrier/owner operator and to the freight brokers/agents. Let's lead the way by how we do business.
Plus, to all the new people in this industry - integrity is an advantage. Just learn and do business the right way. You will find great carriers and great shippers.
Just keep on working. Faith enables and Fear disables.
I have faith that everything will be fine.

Tough Times for Brokers
I read an article by Rip Watson about the high bankruptcy rate among freight brokers in Transport Topics. I try to focus on positives not negatives but the reality is that the economy has been tough on most entrepreneurs. I truly believe greatness can arise out of tough times. A while back I blogged about how many incredibly successful businesses were birthed during the Great Depression. What we’ve been going through is nothing compared to then.
I imagine most freight brokers would have had a fighting chance had they gone through my course. I’m not being boastful I’m just looking at successful brokers. When my instructors aren’t instructors they are brokers and they are doing well. Very well. This is why training is so important. This is why the military trains every day for a mission.
The more you learn the more you earn. I have consulted with brokers who are putting out unreal numbers and I can honestly say they have happy customers and happy carriers. I was amazed at the gross margin numbers every day.
I believe in any market place - The guy who knows the most, who is the most informed and the most connected to the industry will be the last business standing. Standing pretty tall I may add.
Learn to negotiate. The good news is we can learn anything. If you don't like where you are in life, change it. Change starts in your brain. What you put in your brain everyday affects your actions. After you fill your brain with great stuff …Take action.
My online course is in 2300 schools and universities and my freight broker / agent course is in 4 states and is more important to you now than ever. Our training teaches a proven process towards success for a broker. Our course is filled with motivation. And in our course you’ll meet others that will help spur you on.
More on Monday.

Feeling Maudy?
To the Christian today is Maudy Thursday, a remembrance of Jesus last Passover supper with his disciples. He gave new meaning to Passover supper. Jesus was called the lamb of God whose blood was sacrificed so all could live. Christians celebrate the Lord’s supper with bread that represents Christ’s body and wine or grape juice representing His blood. The next day Jesus would be crucified on Good Friday. The greatest good ever done in all of history was done that Friday. He was the final sacrificial lamb
"Maundy" comes from the Latin word for "command." In the context of Maundy Thursday, it refers to the commandment Jesus gave us to love one another. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his brother.
Our society is very fast pace, there’s always something to do. Slow down and reflect on your beliefs and the significance of today.
One of the great things about being my own boss is I can kick it into slow gear for a day of celebration and reflection if I choose.

Tapping into Grant Money
In an effort to get people back to work a lot of new government programs have been developed. There is grant money available for career training. Many of our students are able to take advantage of such programs to pay for their freight broker training. We do not get the grants for our students but we have been paid with grant money. So if you are thinking about training to become a freight broker or another career option available through pajamalearning.biz do a little research on the availability of grant money for education. Do an online search. Many churches now have jobs ministries like H.O.P. E. (helping others procure employment) that help individuals find the money for training as well as give help with interviewing skills, resume writing and more.
As you work to prepare for work consider a combination of online as well as live learning. In our school students often take our live courses for two weeks then take the online course for 6 months. The combo gives you a very solid education in the transportation industry and freight brokering.
.
Being a freight broker is similar to being in real estate or insurance. You are your own boss. You can choose to go it alone or you can work as an agent for an established freight broker. Just like an insurance agent might be independent or work under State Farm. Owning a brokerage and bringing on agents makes a lot of sense and is how brokers are seeing explosive growth. These agents create AR. Your fixed cost as a broker are minimal. And the pay is 100% commission.
Entrepreneurs do great as freight brokers agent. The costs to start up are a lot less than a franchise but as an agent you have the support of a freight broker.
Give us a call if you have any questions.

Be a DaVinci
Leonardo DaVinci was an incredibly imaginative artist, creator, and inventor. He had a personality blend that exists in only 10% of the population. When you look through lists of wildly successful entrepreneurs you find this same personality merging. I found this personality test on the Internet that determines if a person has this innate style. Take a minute to take the 10-question test. Order the book if you’d like. I have no tie to Garret LoPorto, the author of the Davinci Method, I just relate to much of the personality he outlines.
I have seen all types of personalities come through our freight broker training. We teach a method that anyone can use to develop a successful career as a freight broker entrepreneur. The most successful have many of these DaVinci personality traits.
Anyone can play it safe through life but I find excitement is found when you reach beyond yourself and try things that cause you some fear.
We’d love to see you in class soon or online. Freight Brokering is an exciting fast passed career full of challenges and rewards. Our instructors not only teach you the hows but also are great at inspiring students to push themselves to success.
