Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15 through October 15th Hispanic Heritage Month.  Join us in celebrating the cultures that have added to America's greatness. Enjoy the colorful art, mariachi music and spicy tastes that abound in our great country because of the influence of our southern neighbors.  At Brooke Transportation Training we have an incredibly talented instructor for our Spanish course, Monica Jaramillo. We are honored to have many Hispanics benefit from our freight broker training course in Spanish.

Because our country conducts a lot of business with Spanish speaking countries, the need for Spanish speaking transportation professionals is great.  Monica is skilled at dispatch, freight brokering and knowledgeable about all of the transportation industry.  She not only teaches the skills needed for success, she helps her graduates after the course find their niche in the industry.

Enjoy Labor Day

 

Labor Day is a holiday signed into law by President Grover Cleveland on June 8, 1848.  The law was decades in the making during the Industrial Revolution.  America's economy changed from being primarily agriculture focussed to Industrial focussed.  Labor Union's were formed to negotiate better working conditions for the working class.  Back then, industries ran 7 days a week, working the employees 12 to 14 hours a day.  Through strikes and negotiations, over years, industries recognized needs of employees and adjusted.  The fight to have a reasonable work environment wasn't easy.  But those things that are hard earned are more valuable.  We need to be thankful to those in our heritage who fought for our working rights.  

Labor Day is a day to celebrate a country with freedoms in our workplaces.  A land where the immigrant can come here with nothing and build a career.  We should be thankful we can earn a great wage while still having time for our family and friends.  

I am thankful for the opportunity in American that I have had.  I'm not brilliant. I have just been able to use my God given abilities, worked hard and prospered.  I have over decades built a business that is very rewarding for me personally where I can assist others in finding their own career in transportation.  I am thrilled with the scores of testimonials we get from students about learning so much and being incredibly inspired by our teaching team.  

Be thankful for what you have. Enjoy your Monday holiday doing what you enjoy best.

Moving forward,

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

Thank a Vet on this Fourth

A Vet and her faithful friend on the 4th

How will you spend this Fourth of July weekend?  At  the lake, boating, cooking out with friends and family while watching or setting off  fireworks?

Remember the vets who fought for and continue to fight for our country.  The land of the free and the home of the brave. Think about what a disabled vet suffering from PTSD thinks of as the fireworks blast off all around.   

God Bless our Vets.  I am blessed to have met and become friends with some of these brave souls. Helping them learn how to work from home is my mission.   Theses men and women are my heroes.  Be safe. Hug your love ones.  Say thanks to our honored military.  Freedom isn’t Free!   God bless America.  

Happy Fourth

 Moving forward,

A Father's Role

The father in any family sets the tone or culture for that family.  He should be a role model, a mentor, an encourager and a challenger.  Yet many of us and many in our community have not lived up to that role.  Well...It is never too late.  Start now being one other's look up to.

 

At Brooke Training we try to go beyond teaching the transportation industry, we strive to be role models, mentors, encouragers and challengers to the people we are privileged to meet.

So on this Father's Day, I wonder who (in addition to your biological parents) has invested in you? Who has discerned wounds in your spirit? Who has taken you "home" for a season of listening and redirection? Who has taken a back seat to your own growth? Who is it that is always, always "in your corner"?

Or it may be that you now find yourself ready to pour some of that overflow into others who see you as their mentor, a parent, a friend. You honor those who have invested in you when you invest in others that God brings your way.

May this weekend be a time of gratitude for the opportunities we all have to mentor and be mentored by the men in our families and those who need a father figure.  I will spend time with my three girls, my 4 granddaughters and my beautiful bride.  I am blessed beyond measure.

Moving forward,

Big Money in Dispatch/Intermodal

I'm happy to announce our newest consulting offering:  

Dispatch and Intermodal (Rail) Consulting

Make more money and run an efficient operation by learning to be an expert dispatcher with Intermodal transportation knowledge from Consultants Tish Cozine and Jeff Roach.  

  

 

Learn Dispatch

 

A dispatcher is needed in virtually every area of transportation.   

 

You are the right-hand man of a freight broker, owner-operator, freight forwarder and trucking company.  A dispatcher is adept at handling all the behind the scenes work involved in getting freight moved.  

 

A trucking company uses dispatchers to find loads for their trucks.  They may have a one-way load and call on the dispatcher to fill the truck on the way back.  This is a critical role for the carrier because they make no money on a “dead head” or a route with an empty or no trailer.  

Learn how to professionally handle the logistics, paperwork, load boards and more.   Dispatchers work both independently and as employees of freight brokers, carriers and manufacturers.  

 

 

Learn Intermodal

 

Gain skills in the use of several forms of transportation to get a load moved to the destination.  During this 3 day consultation  learn  how to convert a 53' van shipments to a 53' intermodal container.   Learn the ins and outs on how to operate the business.  Learn step-by-step best practices in intermodal transportation.  

Some things covered in this consultation:  

• Rail 101
• Door to Door Defined.
• The benefits of Intermodal
• Proper Intermodal Container Loading Procedure
• What is Transloading? 
• Rail Terminology
• Rating/Dispatching

Tish brings over 12 years of experience moving freight across the railroads and would love to share that knowledge with you.   She truly is the best in the country, she does this work every day so she knows what she is teaching.  Jeff Roach has been in the transportation industry for 3 decades, first in dispatch, then sales, starting a brokerage and now Brooke Training.  Jeff has a wealth of knowledge.  He knows how the various areas of the transportation industry mesh.

They will coach you on how to develop the discipline needed to be a success, make money and fulfill your dreams.   Outpace your competition being well equipped to face the opportunities with knowledge and enthusiasm.  

 

If you're interested in learning a new skill, growing your business financially and be able to provide another mode of transportation to your customer, contact us today for this 3 day consultation.   

To join this exciting opportunity call:
