Hey everyone I’m a website developer building cargo, freight & real estate websites. If you need a professional site or want to upgrade yours, let’s connect. I can share a recent project 🚀

Im a new freight broker, I got my first shipper and I did an underbid :( . Does anyone recommend any type of way I can try to read the market numbers so I don’t under bid

Hey everyone, I've been away for a few days (windsurfing!!) But now I'm back and getting busy. One of the first things new brokers need sort is their surety bond. I thought it'd be helpful to add a list of surety bond providers to the classroom. This is a free thing (as long as you've participated a bit in the community - Level 2). You can get it here. (And don't forget, we already have a quick start guide for designating process agents here)

That's a broad question. I'd better clarify. 90-Day Freight Broker started as a project about 2 1/2 years ago. When I started, someone asked me, "What's the mission?" I had a hard think about that and wrote something down. I just found it in my notes: My 90DFB Manifesto In an industry plagued by distrust, poor planning, and false promises, I stand for clarity, credibility, and real commitment. Too many new brokers enter the field unprepared: misled by vague training, lacking strategy, and unaware of the discipline required to thrive. I believe success isn’t about luck or shortcuts; it’s about grit, guidance, and a plan that works. We help future freight brokers build a real business with practical tools, financial insight, and strategic lead generation, while teaching them to earn trust from both shippers and carriers. This isn’t just business for me. It’s personal. I know what failure feels like, and I’ve lived the grind of building something from the ground up. I want my students to experience the same freedom, confidence, and lasting success that changed my life. 2 1/2 years' later, that still sounds good to me. That's what I'm here for.

If this happened OTR in the U.S. -- how does a broker handle this situation? Who is at fault, and who is responsible? What do you tell your customer, and how do you provide the best service possible to them?
