Why Tender Writing Feels Harder Than It Should
Sometimes the hardest part of tender writing isn’t the document itself it’s figuring out what buyers actually want to see. Clear structure, simple language, and understanding the client’s priorities can make a big difference, yet many people still struggle with where to start. What’s the one part of tender writing you find the most confusing?

Looking for opportunities, ideas, or mentorship
Hi everyone I am new here and trying to pivot my career. I have done a number of things from factory work to sales and I am really looking to fall into a career that offers flexibility and growth I am hard working, ambitious, and passionate about success. I have heard many things about the freight broker industry that has caught my attention. I willingly admit that I am new and do not possess a lot of knowledge about it, what I do possess is the ability and willingness to learn. I am currently seeking funding to take an online course to gain the insight I need to be successful and to prove that I am willing to put in the work but I am struggling to find what I need does anyone here have any ideas or insight on how I could potentially find my way into the industry or begin the process of learning the art of being a broker/agent. Of course I am understanding that I would more than likely have to operate as an agent before stepping out on my own for several reasons but I am open to any an all ideas or advice. Thanks for listening to what I had to say and any information or input would be very greatly appreciated 👍

Welcome! I think it’s great that you’re being honest about being new and showing a willingness to learn,that’s one of the most important things in this industry. Starting as an agent sounds like a smart move to gain experience before going on your own. I’m curious, what kind of courses or resources have you found so far in your search?

@Jason Vaughn Wow, that’s amazing! A full scholarship is a big step already. Starting with a structured 100hour course will give you a strong foundation. As you begin, do you have any specific part of the freight industry you’re most curious about?
Freight Fraud
What’s the most important point in the supply chain process to stop Freight Fraud? As a broker we always call the number for the carrier whose trying to book a load with us on the fmcsa website and ask for the dispatcher. Red Flags are No one answers They don’t have a dispatcher by that name They don’t have trucks in that area. Even if a carrier is validated in the many online platforms. No matter how legit everything looks from a carrier packet standpoint Calling the carriers listed phone number on the FMCSAs website and verifying the communicator is step one in protecting yourself from fraud. Anybody with any other tips?

This is really helpful, verifying carriers directly seems like such a simple but crucial step. I love the emphasis on calling the FMCSA listed number, even if everything else looks legit. Curious for those of us new to freight, what’s the biggest red flag you’ve seen besides the ones you listed?

Not Price Competitive
I have been in freight sales for 30 plus years. I have been selling OTR truckload services for 17 years. Most shippers have annual pricing events. Most of the time we are told , pricing too high, not competitive. I always like to know where we rank as compared to whom. I am an irregular route one-way OTR provider. I liked to ranked and measured against the same. I think many times we are measured against brokers, dedicated or private fleets. I will never be competitive with those folks. Make It a Great day

Wow, 30+ years in freight sales, that’s impressive! It makes sense that ranking and measuring against similar providers is key. I like your point about not trying to compete with brokers or private fleets,focusing on what you do best is smart. Out of curiosity, what’s one tip you’d give to someone just starting in freight sales?
