    I have driven OTR for approximatley 8 years, I have experience with Refer's as well. Now I am seriously considering becoming an Agent, to gain the knowledge, and experience I will need to eventually becoma a Broker. I have been conducting some research, and have found 1 site that actually offers job placement for Agents. I knw there are questions I will be asking, but is there anything particular that I need to be aware or, concerned about? Any help or advice is welcome.
    -Thanks

I feel like everyone is just trying to sale a freight broker course. Also with the load boards....there pricing is so unrealistic ! Can some tell me of a good load board? I need help. I love this work but I need clients!

    Do not try to open your own brokerage because you cant call a shipper and tell him your new, have a company behind so you  can advertise all the equipment it has and people, even if you will not use any of, you will use load boards to post the loads you can get, which are really really hard to get, but not impossible, because nothing is impossible. If you live in a good commerce area, try to meet with companies in person to get them as a client, because I found that cold calling is pretty tough. 
     
    AND NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP THAT YOU WILL LOVE ME FOR
     
    I have a trucking company and gave brokering a call but wasnt for me, however I made one contact that even to this day sends me emails that he needs trucks, its a mailing list, so many people get this but you can call him, get setup and on the mailing list and he will send you loads he needs truck for 2-3 times a week, let me know when you first book a load with him Like I said call and ask to get setup as a broker.
