Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hi, I'm interested in freight brokerage. My family and I have discussed this business opportunity several times and I have been doing research. As with many things there are mixed reviews and advice on the training. I gathered enough info on various sites that say training is not required, but it is an individual choice. I think I would training whether it be from a school, or hands on. Any advice out there from anyone on this matter? Most companies looking for agents/brokers require experience, so is it better to start your own business right out of the gate? Any help is useful, thanks in advance.

Please feel free to email me at ssdieterich@gmail.com

Klein Resources Group Inc. is a small family owned freight brokerage company which not only offers training to all of its freight agents, but does so at no cost to them. There are also a number of automated/online tools which we make available to our agents at no cost to them. We also do not require a minimum amount of experience or a minimum amount of sales in order to be part of our team. Feel free to visit our website at www.kleinresourcesgroup.com to learn more, or call our office and ask for Donovan for an initial interview.

 

On a side note, starting your own brokerage from the beginning is extremely costly compared to being an agent. The insurance requirement alone is a huge part of the bill for start up, but a necessity. My recommendation is being an agent to make sure it is what you really want to do and if so, then consider opening your own brokerage.
