HANDS ON TRAINING
First let me point out that brokering is best learned - doing it by HAND. No computer will teach brokering. There are computer delivered services that aid in brokering, such as ProMiles and Transcore. You will receive direct subsidy for them in your class purchase of Promiles $100 off list price, and Transcore a $300 Gift Certificate redeemable from Transcore monthly fees. The brokering program like trucking is entirely empirical (Hands On). Our program is an entire immersion into the subject of brokering over 5 days. ( it cannot be taught over the phone regardless of claims of others). My program has been perfected over 20 years and is current to today’s issues.
Load boards are useful in brokering by providing trucks to brokers only. To take a brokered load off Transcore and then rebrokering that load to a Motor Carrier is illegal double brokering. (you will learn in our school about “Willful Misrepresentation” and how to turn the tables on double brokers). Only 40% of your loads for brokering will appear and be brokered from Load Boards, because there are 2 more cost saving default before you resort to load boards “Carrier Call ins” and “Who did it last”
All of the efficient paper operations documents are included in my Manual provided. One Million $ per year in Sales Revenue is only 5 loads/day production and Computers will NOT help you save time or energy in brokering freight (Transcore and Pro Miles will help find trucks and mileages). You are free to take these Manual documents but install your own logos and phones removing the ones that are on the documents. There will be 3 loads to outline and complete by our HANDS ON methodology. There can be no more than 3 loads and still complete the outlined activity in 5 days ( the 7 Day Diamond) Program provides at least 3 times more HANDS ON AND ALSO starting YOUR Rate Matrix, and delivering YOUR first Sales Call
