A Freight Broker Character
Are you a character…or do you have character? Well I’d say I could answer yes to both. I know my family would say I’m a character. I love to joke around. I strive to have character as well. And it is an ongoing process.
What character is?
Character is to subconsciously do right. When doing things that you ought to do is instinctive and part of you then that is good character. When you show up on time out of habit that is good character. When you're honest by reflex that is good character. When you can force yourself to be patient instinctively that is good character. When something wrong or bad is done habitually we call those bad habits. Doing things good or right out of habit is called good character.
We develop habits by doing something over and over again. So to develop good character we must habitually choose the higher road. After we’ve chosen that way for a while then we shouldn’t need to think about it, we just do it.
I started Brooke Training because I wanted to clean up some of the bad reputation put on freight brokers. I train new freight brokers to work hard, work honestly and be rewarded. You be truthful, you will get trust. Work dishonestly, you may make a deal or two but you will not gain trust or a long working relationship with a customer.
Integrity is an adjective that is easily thrown around but not easily earned. So in your dealings today think about if you are working for the common good, or just in it for selfish gain.
Be a person of character.

New Freight Brokers on the Loose
Another group of graduates just successfully completed our freight broker training school. I’m looking forward to watching them get out there and find great success. Read what they had to say about their week in class with our exceptional instructors Vinny and Tish. Thanks for spending the week with us. Good luck in your new careers!
Very informative course. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the transportation/logistics or sales/marketing business. Vinny keeps you focused on the task at hand, keeping the class lively with lots of smiles. – Chaucy Bell
Ah! I had an amazing experience. I learned a lot about how to be a broker agent.
They made this fun but also educational. – Alejandro Cano
Tish was a welcome enhancement to the class. I learned much from watching her as a broker/agent at work. Vinny brought a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge on the “Art of the Sale”. Invaluable information to both take to heart and to work. --Kevin Gard
First day was tuff, I didn’t understand. By the last day, everything I had questions for got answered and it is clear. I had fun meeting new people. I had the opportunity to meet with a broker to become their agent.--Herson S. Valle
I have had a good experience. I have learned a lot of new things. I’m leaving with a whole lot of knowledge about the transportation industry as well as the sales skills needed. --Jose Omar Rivera
The instructors are great, especially Vinny. He makes the lessons easy to learn and his sales methods applied to brokers are invaluable. This alone makes the course worth the money. Hector Izaguirre
The first day I came I learned a little cause I had experience in the Industry of transportation. My second day I learn more. On my third day I was very motivated and surprised. I found out I had no clue what the Brokerage Industry is all about. I can say the money I paid for this class is worth every penny. I am ready to be a Broker. Thanks to all the instructors in the Brokerage Training School. Sincerely yours, Luis Rivera.
I really enjoyed Thursday with Vinny. He was very motivational and encouraging. I loved the personality trait tests, which determined different personalities in which you will deal with day to day. The binder that has been prepared for all the students is very informational and provides all the proper tools in becoming an agent or starting your brokerage company. --Laura-Lisa Garcia

Ruben Garcia
It was a good learning (explanatory) experience. Our main instructor Vinny
is a great instructor that made my learning skill fun and improve. Call
ins from companies were well orientated and also helped knowledge and help
understand my thoughts. I am very confident that this will help me succeed.
Jim Rice
I like the way that it is so complete that if I go through the literature I
can find the info I need from there. I really enjoyed the class. Vinny did a really good job. All of the
training was very beneficial.
Michael R. Barth
The Brooke team provided a variety of excellent training areas such as: sales
process and motivation, computer and software, the brokering process, and
exposure/interaction with active broker agencies currently doing business.
I would highly recommend this team to anyone considering the Freight
Brokerage Business as a career.
Keith D. Gilstrap
Vinny is a very good teacher and gave me the tools to begin and succeed in
the Freight Brokering Business. Thank you Brooke Transportation Training
Solutions.
Celeste Miller
I was the only teenager in the class but I felt very accepted. I really
enjoyed this class, we covered tons of information but it was broken down
easily to understand. I don’t have any complaints. I would recommend this
class to anybody.
Josie A. Miller
This was an excellent class when being taught by Vinny. I came to this
class with very little knowledge about freight brokering but now I’m
equipped to start my own business.
Thanks Vinny for teaching another great class.

Get Back to Work
Our mission is to get people that want to work back to work. You can go get a job or start a career. You can punch a time clock or be your own boss. You can go for the predictable or work hard to forge your own path.
Becoming a successful freight broker takes time. You might be able to fill out an app and start a new job tomorrow but that's what it will be, just a new job. Not a brand new destiny.
The reason I love having a training school is because I see our graduates learn the skills that give them an excited anticipation of their future.

Ghost Driver
I just read an intriguing article on the debut of driverless cars. The writer predicts mass production of driver less cars will happen around 2018. If we truly transition to that, imagine driving up next to a car only to realize no one is in the driver’s seat.
I predict the various technologies needed to have a totally automated auto will be introduced slowly. . . Giving us time to get used to the idea. Personally, I like the control of revving my engine, zooming around the slow driver and choosing to alter my route at a moments notice. I’m not sure I’m all on board with a robot controlled vehicle. But then it would be nice to read the newspaper, answer some calls and search the internet without worry as my car takes me to a meeting. New innovations will most likely slowly take more and more of the human element out of driving. We almost all have enjoyed using cruise control for decades. That is one technology that has eliminated some of the human to car interaction. GPS tells us when to turn. Soon GPS coupled with other technologies will be able to make the turn for us. Distractions are a major cause of accidents, so it follows that car manufacturers concerned with safety will and have spent a lot of innovative thinking into counteracting human error in driving.
I’ll keep reading and blogging about the interesting things I find. We live in an incredibly innovation time. Our challenge: keep up or be left behind. That is one reason why it is nearly impossible to get educated on the freight broker industry from a book. By the time the book is published it is outdated. As soon as I learn of something new in our industry I can tell our class members. Online courses are more easily adapted and revised than traditional print book based courses. So if you want to learn a new skill I suggest taking a live course or online course from a group who keeps up with the times. If you want to learn freight brokering come to Brooke Training. If you want to learn something else check out the online courses we offer through pajama learning.
