qualified freight broker training


When looking for training look for someone that has been a freight broker, broker agent or even a logistics consultant. But be aware that more expensive does not mean more quality or more knowledge. Some schools and seminars charge in the thousands of dollars but they also leave a thousand unanswered questions in the end. Why? They had no experience to share or relate to. Make sense? It does to me. Wondering what would be considered a qualified person? Call your prospective trainers and ask him/her if they have ever been a freight broker or an agent and if so for how long. Depending mostly on their length of experience, success, and why they quit, should give you an idea of their qualifictions to give you the proper training you will need to succeed. Ask them if you can call them back a week or a month or a year down the road if you run into something you don't know or understand. Ask them about honesty and integrity. Then listen to their answers. Proper training is the key to your success.Freight broker training like any other, should be done by a qualified person. Not just someone who can give you the basic outline, but can give you the details that go along with it. Freight brokers and agents also need to know the tricks of the trade and how to use the tools available. It won't do you any good to know what they are if you don't know how to use them.

It is best that your mentor has an experience about the things you'll then undergo later on when doing the business.
