 Freight
Broker One
that has their own
authority with
surety bond engaged
in the business of
brokering freight.
Finding trucks for
loads and loads for
trucks. The Freight
Broker is
responsible for
invoicing shippers
and paying the
carriers.
Freight
Broker Agent
An independent
contractor,
contracted to a
Freight Broker,
performing the
functions of a
Freight Broker up to
the point of
invoicing shippers
and paying carriers.
An agent is paid a
commission on every
load moved
determined by the
difference of what
the shipper paid and
what was actually
paid the truck.
Be it a Freight
Broker or Freight
Broker Agent, both
are essentially
doing the same job,
finding loads for
trucks and trucks
for loads. Although
simple in theory,
both need to be
ambitious, self
motivated, have an
entrepreneurial
spirit and eager to
learn.
A Freight Broker or
Freight Broker Agent
have the option of
being able to work
anywhere they wish.
If you have had
reason to do
business with a
Freight Broker or
Freight Broker Agent
in the past, their
is a real
possibility they
were working from
their home office.
All Freight Broker
Training Packages begin
with a Workshop for
you and up to 2
staff members,
regardless of
experience level.
This allows everyone
to be on the same
page. Any bad habits
can be corrected and
those with no
experience are able
to learn in a
no-pressure
environment. All of
our Freight Broker
Training Workshops are
one-on-one...you,
your staff and your
consultant.
No matter the
Freight Broker
Training
Package chosen, we
will cover the
process of being a
Freight Broker or
Freight Broker
Agent, start to
finish!
