Freight Broker Training - Home Based Business
By Jack C Martin

Home based businesses are on the rise thanks to NAFTA. And freight broker training is taking the transportation industry by storm. It is a real home based business and more and more people are cashing in on it. With factories, plants and mills steadily going out of business, people are getting desperate. They are falling for a lot of get rich quick schemes and losing a lot of money in the process. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

The same holds true for freight broker training as well. But be aware, freight brokering is just like everything else, it has to be learned. You couldn't read without learning the alphabet first, or count without knowing the numbers. And do you remember the first time you tried to drive a car? Well guess what, you can't broker freight without the proper training either. Sure you can spend thousands of dollars on a weekend training seminar, but that's all it is, a seminar. Hopefully you will walk away with more than just a basic outline. And of course you can always spend thousands to receive a master broker certificate too, although the reality is, a master broker certificate does not exist in the transportation world! It's your money, waste it however you want.

But before you do, get the facts. Ask your prospective freight broker training instructor if you can call him/her on the weekend or at midnight if a problem arises that you don't know how to fix. Ask if he/she will provide continuous counseling or step by step instruction. Do they guarantee or even offer job placement assistance? Have they ever owned a freight brokerage or worked as a freight broker agent, and for how long, if over two years, what was their yearly income? Why did they quit? Better yet, ask for his/her cell phone number! These are legitimate questions that should be asked. If he/she says no to even one of these questions, keep searching. Freight broker training should include the good, the bad, and the ugly because all of it is out there.
