Product Description
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 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 startup 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
Freight brokers fill a critical need in the
United States, and there's always room in the
industry for someone who can offer reasonably
priced, dependable service.
