Do You Need a Kick in the Pants to Start a New Career

Freight Broker

Sometimes it takes a good swift kick in the pants to get someone motivated. Sometimes that kick comes in the form of losing your job. When you’re in between jobs, you have an opportunity to take a step back and decide whether you previous career choices have led you down the path where you want to be. If the answer is yes, then fine, find another job and keep on going. For many people, though, the answer is no. For these people, the time may be right to make a change that puts them on the right path.

Often that path includes goals like these:

  • Huge earnings potential
  • Be in business quickly
  • Fast paced, interesting work
  • Offer services that are always in demand
  • Be your own boss
  • Relatively low start-up costs
  • Ability to work from home

These goals embody the American dream of achieving financial independence through hard work, but they don’t come easy. Jumping into a new business without the right knowledge and training can result in near certain failure. The right skills and a good understanding of what it’s going to take to succeed are absolutely essential for any new business owner. One company that helps to provide the kind of training it takes to be successful is Brooke Transportation Training Systems. Jeff Roach, as a multi-million dollar freight broker himself, founded the company to help others succeed in the field that has helped him live the American Dream.

Freight brokers are the people who match up customers with freight that needs to be transported with trucking companies that have the capacity to carry that freight to its destination. It’s one of the few careers that let you literally work from your own home until you build the business up to the point where need a staff and a professional office. It’s also a business where your success is directly related to the amount of effort you put into it. The training provided by Jeff Roach and his team make it very clear that the freight brokerage business is not one of those fly by night, get rich quick schemes. They’ll lay out in very clear terms exactly what you need to do to be successful in freight brokerage.

Sometimes, students go through the class and decide that they aren’t ready to strike out on their own. For these students, they still walk away with new skill and a respected certification that can help them land a job as a freight brokerage agent for another company. As one of their students, Arcelia M., said, "I’m very pleased. I can work from home doing what I enjoy doing and make decent money. The most important thing I learned is how to start and succeed by first ‘walking’ as an agent and work up to ‘running’ as a broker."

Other graduating students decide to undertake the challenge of running their own operation. Calvin J., another Brooke student said "In six months since completing your class, I just booked my 250th load! Thank you for the great class. It really gave me an inside edge into the world of moving freight." Learn more about freight brokerage at www.brooketraining.com.
