Negotiating, Low Margin Freight, and Commissions | Final Mile 74

Hey Guys. Im a one man team Carrier. Im looking to become a full time broker and getting rid of the carrier. My questions is what’s the best way to get into brokering with no brokering experience. Would a w2 salary with commission be a good option to learn? Or would an agent option be best?

I would shoot for w2 salary position first for sure. It can take 3-6+ months of 100 cold calls a day before you find a couple customers. So those months would be no income.. most w2 positions don’t pay great but it seems like non-competes are on their way out the door. So I would w2 to start and see if you like it and can land some solid customers. If you do THEN I would look into going Agent.
