Freight Brokerage Service
Get your entrepreneurial destiny really moving by
becoming a freight broker.
Although the United States may be shifting from a manufacturing to
an information-based economy, there will never be a time when goods
don't have to move. And since the majority of goods shipped in the
United States are sent by truck, the role of freight broker is a
crucial one: Without freight brokers, most of those goods would end up
sitting in a warehouse or on the docks and never get to their final
destinations.
- As a freight broker, you can make good money, right from your
home, matching up carriers with shippers for a fee. It's a very
easy business to start--there's no special training or knowledge
of the shipping industry needed. And equipment costs are minimal.
All you really need is a computer, a phone and a fax machine. Our
guide will do the rest. We'll show you how to:
locate start-up funds and set your prices
- understand the legal documents you'll be dealing with
- find carriers and shippers
- market your services
- build your client base
- and much more
