Truth Bombs! Why Freight Brokers Can't Get Shippers & Don't Make Money

[@dpatrick813]

Gotta put your back against the wall for this to work, 100% effort and patience, with a extremely strong belief in yourself. I’m going through a set back right now, but I believe so much in myself set backs don’t get me mad anymore. Appreciate the words of wisdom Brandon ✌🏿✊🏿💪🏿

[@dpatrick813]

@@123NopeNotMe everything is good in the grand picture, but everyday is a challenge. I’ve finally got all my paperwork good now I’m at the point where I’m trying to secure shippers. I know this will be one of my biggest challenges but I welcome it, only way to get better.

@danny p how everything thus far? I’m freshly getting into the industry right now I’m just learning as much as I can.

I am new to this freight broker bossiness, but your videos are quite helpful. Awesome !!!!

[@marknoonan6279]

You just described me Brandon you are absolutely correct as I have been trying to learn a lot about Freight brokering I have dumbed-down myself thinking that I am not smart enough to do this business but you are a huge inspiration you are a huge and courage moment I'm watching all of your videos and I'm catching on this is something that I truly want and desire to do as a business along with owning some trucks that I have I think it's going to work out I'm just a little slow 10-4

[@DarrelHerbert-ze5zi]

How’s it working out for u?

Bruh you are one hell of a motivational speaker. You are speaking the truth.

I appreciate the support brother!!💯💯💯

[@shawnc2888]

I’m so glad I found this video, I was getting so discouraged I’ve been pushing and pushing since August/October cold calling passing business cards out bidding on lanes posting on load boards and I’m not getting a break I don’t know if it’s my sales pic am I bidding wrong but at this point I’m paying monthly expenses and nothing is coming in, I’m struggling on my own…

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

I've been there...I would suggest focusing on what you're offering shippers....your service...ask yourself why would a shipper won't to work with me?? how does my service provide value...

[@briandodgen2631]

Maybe if brokers understood more about the actual trucking part of this then the brokers would understand why we won't haul loads for cheap and those that do don't stay in business very long ! My over head is probably triple the amount of a broker plus I assume all the risk and responsibility of the load plus the safety of the general public not to mention having to deal with the actual shippers and receiver's thats another headache all by itself ! so no I'm not hauling cheap loads in today's market i dont haul anything under 3 dollars a mile if its over 30k lbs its 4 a mile ...

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

you choose to make decisions in your best interests...that's the beautiful thing about freedom...keep doing you...but brokers don't need to understand trucking part....NOT if they don't have a trucking business...that's for truckers to understand...wish you continued success!

[@mrabmcclain]

I'm with you. This whole broker explosion kinda took off with the pandemic. Most see it as easy money. Are there truthful and ethical new broker start ups, sure, but most think it's an easy money maker while stealing from the carrier. The notion of not needing to understand the trucking side is ridiculous. As a carrier must be knowledgeable at lanes and rates as should a broker. Those that don't know that will commonly try to sell loads well below the market average to try and maker more profit. The dynamic here is brokers need truckers, not the other way around. If more carriers started exercising their "rights to view" regarding loads it would cause almost overnight most dishonest outfits to close shop.

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

@@mrabmcclain of course freight brokers should be knowledgeable on rates...that's a part of the freight broker business...from a business aspect a freight broker does not need to know the truckers costs to operate ...does not need to know the challenges a trucker faces...why? because im a freight broker who is concerned about my business...im not concerned about a truckers business...that's his business...I just mind my own business....thank you for commenting!

[@mrabmcclain]

@@brandonthefreightbroker That one way of thinking is the problem. If your only concern is how much you make and can't be fair to the carrier then why would I come back to get knocked on the head again and again? Your business relies much more heavily on the carrier doing their job in an orderly, on time and consistent basis. To not pay them fairily and lose them means you are now relying on unknown carriers to fulfill your obligation and keep your business partners happy and willing to keep giving you more loads. I'm sure you are leary of new start up carriers, as are carriers with newer brokers. The potential of being ripped off is extremely high. My belief is pay those who do right by you and yours and you'll be rewarded handsomely.

[@brandonthefreightbroker]

@@mrabmcclain not being concerned about their costs does not mean you don't pay them fairly...it just means my concern is my business...a trucker's concern should be the well being of his business....your perspective equivalent to saying the shipper should make sure freight brokers make profit....not going to happen...and quite frankly unreasonable in my opinion to think so....

Whats the best freight broker to partner with as an agent ?

[@Mrmack239]

Solid insights good sir. I’ve been a freight broker for 6 years now and finally ventured out on my own. Indeed it’s a skill set that comes with repeated action. The hunger is needed, customers aren’t going to call. You have to put in the work. It’s not impossible since other companies have thrived, just can’t dabble and expect big results. Wish you well on your business.

Brandon this is exactly where I’m at with my freight broker business. I have everything setup and haven’t made a dime. It’s been frustrating at times, because I get loads rates from shippers and I’m trying to sell the rates to the carriers but they are not accepting the rates. The shippers are trying to get something done at a very low rate and that’s been my challenge.

No sir . No claims. Still investigating. I can't afford that. Plus say it has to be paid up front.
