Brandon thank you so much for the time you take to put put these videos. I've been watching for a while, and looking forward to acquiring some training in the near future. I have a question, I have current authority, and am interested in becoming a freight broker. I understand that credit will be a big issue untill you start moving loads. While I believe maybe setting up that I am willing to work with new carriers, that way there will be an acceptable risk to both parties, and benefit to new carriers as well as my new brokers authority credit. While I'm initially planning to adding broker authority to my current mc under the same business, could I potentially set it up as a separate business, then broker the freight to my carrier for the first few to get the ball rolling and help my credit go up? I'm already signing up with ecapital for factoring both sides, and looking up surety bonds. Does this make sense to do?

Good day, I had to come back to this video. The credit issue is killing me. A year later and still no credit rating.

Hey Brandon, great info...how do you feel about the idea of starting as an agent and transferring over to running a brokerage after u learn the business

[LLUEVE]

This needs to follow the real estate broker/agent relationship. The broker already opened the doors already…I did a case study on Lodestar in college. Managing 1099 “employees” sucks though, but if you get a few motivated agents, you can really start to succeed and grow.

Congrats on your success. I'm still getting my personal credit better for a better bond price. Waiting is

What if I wanted to pay someone hourly and with a sign on bonus and a smaller commission as an employee to come on board for the day to day operations? And later switch to only commission to be independent as a freight agent?.I think it’s good to have more people than just me solo.

Brandon, if hiring a 1099 agent - can I deduct or charge them for the user account on my load boards? If I provide them the "tools" to do their job, are they still a 1099?

If you have more agents that makes you earn more money?

Where can I get a good bond?. Do you have a company to recommend?
