There are Many struggles between a Broker and Carrier but from FREIGHT BROKER BOOTCAMP here are:

5 Ways Freight Brokers and Freight Agents Can Develop Stronger Carrier Relationships!

1. Always pay them on time! Offer quick pays and fuel advances whenever possible. The quicker and easier you make it for a carrier to get paid, the more they will want to work with you.

2. Clearly communicate load details. This includes dates, times, locations as well as anything unique, unusual or different about the shippers requirements.

3. Invest time to get to know your carriers/drivers so you can learn what their goals are, what are their challenges and then figure out a way to provide value.

4. Say “Thank you” to drivers and dispatchers whenever you get the chance. It’s amazing how powerful those two simple words can be and what showing a little of appreciation can do.

5. When someone goes above and beyond for you, return the favor and do something nice. Don’t take their extra effort for granted be sure to reward them with something simple like having a pizza delivered to them or sending them a $10 gift card to Dunkin Dounuts, Starbucks of Tim Hortons for a fresh cup of coffee.

These are just a few examples of how freight brokers and freight agents can develop stronger carriers relationships. Invest time in relationship building and make sure to treat carrier more like partners than just a means to an end.

For you all that don’t know. LET ME CATCH YOU UP💯

I wanted this when I left MICHIGAN back in 2019. To be a carrier over the road transporting freight, the goal was to learn how the supply chain really operates, and eventually become a freight brokerage.

Held back by $27k in insurance premiums they were asking for a Surety Bond and Contingent Cargo Ins. I knew I was being over charged bc of my current credit score at the time. So I had to step back and get my personal life under control.

So I did just that, focused on my financial education.
Came back better set and comfortable to make the move.

My quote for Surety Bond and Contingent Cargo Ins. now that I’ve got my personal finances and credit in a good place is was -$24k difference 🤯

You Do The Math!
Crazy right lol

Finally 2 years later 1st option delivery now known as 1st Option Freight Brokerage was ACCEPTED by the FMCSA to operate as a Freight Brokerage🤙🏾

If you’re not sure what Freight Brokerage is, here you go:

(shipping and freight)
Brokers connect shippers with carriers, and then help navigate and coordinate the many moving parts of the supply chain to ensure that cargo gets safely to its destination. That makes freight brokers an essential part of the shipping and freight industry.

Thank You EVERYONE for all the push, support and help during this process.

None of this was possible without ANYONE involved in this journey!!
Family, Friends, Customers etc.

Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up

Now we all GAS no Brakes
