I've been a driver, I've been a dispatcher. I've worked in LTL, dry van and chemical/tanker companies as well. I'm young and I have no degree, despite going to college for multiple things. I've never found a more concise and helpful video that answered every question I didn't even know I had. Maybe now I can finally work for myself, and eventually help my friends share in success. Thank you for everything!
Hello i am Oliver we are 3 people so far. who we work as dispatchers. we are from europe. and we have an offer for you. we work in an office we can maintain 15-20 trucks for 5000 dollars a month. if you are interested my email is oliver-trpkoski@hotmail.com a great opportunity for long-term sincere cooperation.
I honestly get a kick out of these people that think that they can just say, ok I'm going to be a broker.... How do you fill your trucks that sign into you?? Load boards, seriously? I dont give my drivers anyones cheap leftovers!! In an emergency, Ill use a load hoard. You shouldn't ever rely on a load board. College for 2 years, in LOGISTICS and going in a truck for 10 months, how do you expect to broker freight to drivers if you've never spent a minute in a truck with a truck driver, watching, learning, listening.....learn what they are going thru. I tell every single driver I speak too and tell them, if this broker wants your business, He will cater to you, the O/O are the BOSS...(many drivers forget that) you're paying them, you iwn the truck, your business. NO forced loads...they should have no problem sending you their references etc. If you hear "Ive never been in a truck....RUN" I know my drivers wives birthday, have sent flowers, gifts for them...kids important days he/she has to be home for, holidays never missed, Go the extra mile for the ones that keep you in business, and they will always treat you with respect and go that extra 100 miles for you. Drivers struggle daily with the Industry the way it is today compared to 20+ yrs. Ago. They miss their family, their home etc... wa lways be there to lend an ear other than just rate confirmations. Form friendships, extended family. I have an apt for my truckers when they are in this area, no hotels, we jave BBQs, dinners, hot shower, their own bedroom...kitchen, living room, washer n dryer and Ive done alot of laundry lol, we have a huge garage where my husband works on his trucks, so they do oil changes etc...home away from home. Ive met some of the best people and will continue to run my business like this forever. Despite the so called fly by night 'dispatching services' out there today giving dispatchers bad reputations, all I have is my name, at the end of the day I look back and am happy at what I choose to do with it! Keep on Trucking !
@@BELLE_MYMAIL1 please reply, would like some insight. New to the game, driving right now, love it, but would like to hear your opinion on my thought moving forward
Currently a truck driver in the making, and thinking of opening my own brokage business with all of the truck owners I know. And this video is a one stop shop for all the information I needed to know. Thank you for the information.
Just got a full refund from Alliance Logistics LLC, for my broker training after I moved my first load!!! Thank you Brandon. This is a very competitive business and you better know what you're doing before you start moving merchandise valued in the tens of thousands, dealing with demanding customers, moody drivers, dispatchers and government agencies. Good luck to everyone and see you at the top!
May I ask why you requested a full refund f9r training?? You found you didn't need it or you just went through another training program? My husband is driver and we have a couple other drivers so I'm really wanting to get bonded as a broker and start my business but want to be sure I use the best training. Can you recommend? Also, I see your comment is a year old...how's it going for you? Thanks!
That’s crazy because I was watching one of their videos and I couldn’t finish it. No pun intended for them but I was sent a series of videos from another company who HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Brandon. I cannot be happier because so many lights just came on in my head.
Best freight broker video out here! Dude literally gives step by step instructions an it’s typed on screen. Had a real class room type of feel to it! Good talker an good personality
Thank You soooo much for this video. I am a truck driver an want to be a broker. I just had a accident and now Its time for a job change. No more procrastinating for me
Love it! I'm a Loan Officer and nothing makes me happier than seeing numbers lol. This was a very detailed breakdown and I appreciate it. I especially love how you specified the why you advised each component.
Thanks Brandon putting extra hours at my job , driving for uber and Lyft on the weekends , thanks for all your help getting me motivated and ready to venture on my own
You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
Just wanted to make a point about the credit builder option. If a broker is just starting out and is not firmly established I think credit builder is potentially necessary. Many carriers work with brokers only AFTER they have been approved by the carriers factoring company. A new broker may have issues getting approved by factoring companies until they are established. That means they have been in business for at least 1 year and they have demonstrated their ability to not only pay but to pay in a timely manner. Usually somewhere between 30-90 days...but factoring companies like the closer to 30 day. Just an FYI. Be safe everyone.
Thanks for the informative video, I sent this to my brother, he is just starting a business like this. I hope the information you posted will help him. Just keep going
Transitioning to brokering from a transport business, and this video has made it easy to understand. Already have contracts with manufacturers but its become too big for my small fleet, so subcontracting is the obvious solution. Thanks SOO MUCH for this info!!!
people read the comments the guy gave a great presentation and answered all the questions 20 times read the comments before you ask the same question he offers an online class its on 10 comments already read before you ask. what his other videos and he gives more information out in those also take the time to research and listen to what he is saying. Thanks brandon for all the great info and sorry people don't read the comments to get the answers you keep answering over and over.
@@canyoublamemenetwork2997 I haven't heard of that factoring company...still could be a solid company...a GOOD factoring company to me is one that charges 2 to 5% factoring fee, provides an electronic method of funding lumper fees or fuel advances, has a quick pay option and pays carriers on time. Thank you for your question. Hope this helps.
Depending on what you're driving, you don't need a cdl. Just food for thought. Vehicles under 26 thousand and 1 pounds don't require cdl. But, check with your state.
Thanks so much. This video was VERY helpful! My husband and I own a Mobile Mechanic company but we are going to start a hot shot trucking company and I will be the freight Broker. So this video really helps.
Thank you very much for all the detailed information, easy to tell that you’re going places!!! Starting mine in 2 weeks, been a dispatcher for 8 years and a broker for 4 so I’m ready!!
This video will make me a millionaire and I will come back and comment when it happens. Thanks much love King keep that crown standing high your doing good things
That's a waste of money and time. He'd be better working for minimum wage at a brokerage or in a office at a trucking company. He'll learn more in a year than 10 in college. Those are the type of degrees that people default on the loan. He'll come out of school and be unrealistic about the type of salary he should make and may not get a job.
This video definitely covered ALL cost the entails starting a Freight Broker business. Also please add in the difference between a Bond and a Trust Fund, BMC-84 and BMC-85 and how to decide which may be better or more economical for starting out.
To all the people saying it’s this much or that much for this or that. Listen you have to invest in YOURSELF to get anywhere in this world. Nobody else is going to do it for u. So don’t be scared just believe in yourself and do it. Thanks for the informative video you explained everything awesomely
I’m getting my authority this month and I know it’s going to be hard getting loads . My question is , can I still use that shippers contact list to get loads ?
Good info Brandon, I currently hold 17 years in sales an operations and this industry has always intrigued me. My mother in law has 30+ years in the freight forward world as well. This is 100% validating I need to be in this business.!! APPRECIATE IT MAN 🙏🏼
Mr Brandon, This was a major blessing. Simple & straight to the point. After watching countless of UA-cam videos on getting started. I finally landed the one that helped me the most. I know marketing and general business. However I am not familiar with being a broker. This video definitely was the one I needed to see. Keep up the good work. Much success to your business.
I’m just starting on my way your videos are awesome and knowledgeable thank you very much kind regards always and if we can communicate I would so appreciate your time
I really liked this video. I have watched a few other, not as good yours telling us what you must have and your options each category was explained, especially price wise were to start realistically and move up in price.
Allow me to congratulate you on this magnificent video! I don’t think I’ve encountered anything like this. I have been considering this path, but I had so many questions. Let me just say you probably cleared 99% of all my doubts AND THE MONTHLY COSTS! WHAT?! so, for ever grateful and wish you much success and I hope we cross paths one day to show you how far I went and tell you ,that you had so much to do with it all!! BIG THANKS FROM TEXAS ! And forever a fan 👍🙌🏼🤩
New Sub ! 19 years in the Transportation Industry and I'm ready to do the work for myself. Brokering will be new to me because I am experienced in Logistics / operations management and account management. I currently have a written business and financial plan but because lenders won't fund a brand new business, I am going to have to start out part time until I can completely cut off my job. This video has been very helpful.
Thanks very much for the video. Your information was so concise, detailed, precise and the flow of all the information made it easy to comprehend. I am an Educator, Paralegal, and Accountant, this recent course of events have been very challenging, though I can see the Lite in the tunnel. I am stepping up to the plate for a change and you perfectly laid out the business plan. I would like to say thank you again, because most people wouldn't did this much. Best regards. Chayah.
@Rohn Veecy I’ve been thinking on that . It would certainly be great for me and my plans for building an empire to help people less fortunate . Thank you for your advice .
Thank you! I'm a broker agent and have been delaying going off on my own because I thought it was too much to start off alone. Now I know I can do it sooner than I thought!
Thank you Brandon🙏🏽. We’re getting started and learning the ins and outs to get this freight forwarding business started. This is definitely a start to know of cost
Such a concise and useful video! Thank you Brandon. Today is officially my first day starting my own business as a freight broker. So far just one employee but slowly, we'll be building our team and hopefully in a week or so we'll be ready to get going. Can anyone reccomend a good contingent liability insurance company? Willing to pay a little more for the for one that is reliable and adds to our credibility.
Mr. Brandon, I am impressed with your video presentation. It was above and beyond informational. You make for an excellent trainer. I look forward to learning many things from you and others as I seek to have this as my career. Do you offer specialized training? Maybe something to look into young man. You're good at it. Keep it up.
very useful and detailed, yet simple to understand presentation... Dell is the best bro'... good for you... I only use Dell... having a website is a must now in the digital world we live in... those who don't have a website are perceived as cheap and respectable companies just ignore a business that's not even able to own and maintain a website... how can they give you, commit to you freight of millions of dollars, how can they trust you manage trucks and carriers, while you can't have (or afford to have) a website and maintaining it active... for those out there thinking a website is optional maybe, you should reconsider your approach, a website is a must... if not on the first day of operations, at least in the first 3-4 months the website should be up and running nice and smooth...
Thank you for the information. I'm looking to build the capital in order to begin my own freight broker business. This video is showing me that it isn't a costly as I initially perceived. I also looked at your five video series that shows the entire process of getting a load and posting a load. That was very informative as well. I'll be taking your course in the next two months or so and can't wait to learn the necessary info in order to broker freight professionally. Good job man and thanks for all the info!
great information! as a Dispatcher we usually need that drivers understand sometimes what we could make they earn. Most driver doesn`t like short runs or power only loads, is just to find an ideal broker that shakes hands with them and everyone will be making money.
This is a great video. I like the piece about quickbooks. I am considering using the online version. I was wondering if you might consider doing a video on how to set up your quickbooks for freight brokers. I have been searching and just haven't found anything.
Thank you so much this video is a real eye opener and gave me a real view on how to start and how much money I need really happy to have found you will be following your videos 👋
This video is great. So much information given. This helped me decide that I want to get into freight brokering. I'm paying off 2 more credit cards then I'll be signing up for your class. Thank you!!.💯
@@brandonthefreightbroker Thank you I appreciate the support. I signed up to recieve the 5 videos you offer on your website but I never got them in my email. Also checked my spam and it was not there. How can I I recieve them?
Thank you for your detailed explanation, clear and concise. I'd like to know more about the factoring company which is 5% p/invoice. Off to a great start though. I'll let you know how it goes, but I see great things happening, and challenging!
This video was so very thorough and informative!!! Thank you! It has encouraged me to get started! Do you still offer training! I'm ready to rock and roll
yes...you can give us a call if you have any questions @470-427-2711 ext 101 or visit our website www.brandonthefreightbroker.com to learn more about our training program. Thank you for your comment!
Definitely interested in any classes that you provide. Can you give me more information on how to sign up or where can I see your live classes? By the way your video is very informative clear and concise
Hi Brandon....I noticed this video was published in January of 2019, and what caught my eye was the Surety Bond portion. I thought FMCSA had raised the Bond to $75K like 5 years ago for Brokers. Clarification on this greatly appreciated! THANK YOU
Correct. Freight brokers are required to have 75k of surety bond coverage...similar to insurance...you may have coverage of 500k policy but you pay a monthly premium for the coverage...hope this helps.
interesting, I was quoted $2150 yet my credit is really good, didn't know I can negotiate. How do I negotiate? I picked up a Brother HL-3140CW laser printer at Walmart for only $100. best printer ever....I dunno I think it was on sale
This video was awesome!!, very informative, easy to follow, and descriptive breakouts throughout the business model. Thank you so much for sharing this video bro
I thank you so much for explaining something that I have been hesitant in trying because of lack of knowledge. I believe this is a Godsend, and thanks for sharing. I pray this is the start of a wonderful beginning of self-employment, and an opportunity for me to bless others! Even if I never hear back from you, I so Thank you for this!
Another great video Brandon. Excellent information for the freight broker community. What tools, boards or directories would you suggest that can help new freight brokers like myself in the business find great shipping companies to do business with?
Thanks I actually seen this Video last year and sent to the my wife but she was not ready so now she is ready I have the capital and will send her to some classes to learn. We basically have the office setup just need to get everything else. Thanks again.
If anyone took this or any other course and have some type of experience as a freight broker agent (ie have some shippers), our company is looking for quality agents to partner with.
I've been a driver, I've been a dispatcher. I've worked in LTL, dry van and chemical/tanker companies as well. I'm young and I have no degree, despite going to college for multiple things.

Mr. Brandon, I am impressed with your video presentation. It was above and beyond informational. You make for an excellent trainer. I look forward to learning many things from you and others as I seek to have this as my career. Do you offer specialized training? Maybe something to look into young man. You're good at it. Keep it up.
thank you Mark...glad you found the content helpful and informative!! best wishes to you!! see you at the top!!!
Hey I love the video. Giving a shout-out with plenty more. Have a good and calm day. Love Eve.
Thank you, this is the information that I need. Thank you so much for being direct!😊
very useful and detailed, yet simple to understand presentation...
Dell is the best bro'... good for you... I only use Dell...
having a website is a must now in the digital world we live in... those who don't have a website are perceived as cheap and respectable companies just ignore a business that's not even able to own and maintain a website... how can they give you, commit to you freight of millions of dollars, how can they trust you manage trucks and carriers, while you can't have (or afford to have) a website and maintaining it active... for those out there thinking a website is optional maybe, you should reconsider your approach, a website is a must... if not on the first day of operations, at least in the first 3-4 months the website should be up and running nice and smooth...
Outstanding transparency, Brandon.
Thank you for the feedback! Wish you the very best in your life and business!!!
I second this. This is excellent.
Thank you for the information. I'm looking to build the capital in order to begin my own freight broker business. This video is showing me that it isn't a costly as I initially perceived. I also looked at your five video series that shows the entire process of getting a load and posting a load. That was very informative as well. I'll be taking your course in the next two months or so and can't wait to learn the necessary info in order to broker freight professionally. Good job man and thanks for all the info!
Thank you for your professionalism and clear explanations. You help me shed some of the fear and uncertainty about jumping into this business. 👍👍
great information! as a Dispatcher we usually need that drivers understand sometimes what we could make they earn. Most driver doesn`t like short runs or power only loads, is just to find an ideal broker that shakes hands with them and everyone will be making money.
Thank you 🙏🏾 I will be a future student
Great job breaking down the steps and cost estimates brotha! Thank you!
This is a great video. I like the piece about quickbooks. I am considering using the online version. I was wondering if you might consider doing a video on how to set up your quickbooks for freight brokers. I have been searching and just haven't found anything.
Thank you so much this video is a real eye opener and gave me a real view on how to start and how much money I need really happy to have found you will be following your videos 👋

Hey,thank you, Brandon,you are doing a great job, your information is extremely valuable !!! 😊
Hi Brandon....I noticed this video was published in January of 2019, and what caught my eye was the Surety Bond portion. I thought FMCSA had raised the Bond to $75K like 5 years ago for Brokers. Clarification on this greatly appreciated! THANK YOU
Correct. Freight brokers are required to have 75k of surety bond coverage...similar to insurance...you may have coverage of 500k policy but you pay a monthly premium for the coverage...hope this helps.

Another great video Brandon. Excellent information for the freight broker community. What tools, boards or directories would you suggest that can help new freight brokers like myself in the business find great shipping companies to do business with?
