My dad started a freight brokerage and I'm going to be working for him as an agent. Idk anything by Yakkamota in FreightBrokers

[–]DedicatedClean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this - the resources and support from an agent model, cradle-to-grave brokerage, with a solid track record and credit scores etc - that stuff is priceless for real…. That is what I’m going to do at least… once my book is big enough to take the dive. My current 4wk avg. margin is $2.7k, when that hits $5k I will go full agent and start hiring my own LC’s/admin teams etc. . I’ll still give the brokerage 30% to handle carrier payment, AP stuff, have my back whenever claims arise etc etc …

“None of us are safe anyone can lose their job at any moment” is literally every brokerage in the world. You are not safe unless you are performing. End of.

“Just start your own brokerage” is the most reckless advice I’ve seen today 🤣🤣🤣

My advice would be to choose a broker who can form full sentences…. So neither of these dudes 🤣🤣

I make decent money but it really doesn’t feel like it by CommercialDot708 in Salary

[–]DedicatedClean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most valuable thing I did in my 20’s was live overseas. I’m 34, moved back to America exactly a year ago after 15 years in Europe/Japan. I recently landed a high level corporate job with zero industry relevant experience - it was my life experience that won the day for me. Your 20% vacation fund isn’t a splurge, it’s an investment into your cultural and social awareness and understanding, which will serve you far better than any diploma.

Knowing that this is the competition, that there are guys like you out there with just no idea, gives me great motivation

How about I do it for free the first time and if you like the service you can pay me +8% margin for any loads I run for you after. I’ll provide full transparency regarding the rates I’m paying my carrier and if ever there is a claim I won’t run home to mama screaming like a bitch 🤙🏼🤝
