From a few conversations here, I’m starting to notice something interesting. Many small businesses don’t lose out on contracts because they’re not qualified…but because they don’t even know where to look or how to start. Feels like a lot of opportunities are just hidden in plain sight. Curious what do you think stops most businesses from exploring this?

Hello community I’m coming to you all asking how do I build a book of business when most if not all brokerages want a active book of business

Came across this today while browsing contracts. A $400k+ award for shipping/logistics and it was set aside for small businesses. I think a lot of people assume opportunities like this are only for big companies, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Makes me wonder how many businesses are missing out simply because they don’t know where to start. Has anyone here ever looked into this seriously?

Success in business isn’t about doing everything alone it’s about having the right systems and the right people in your corner. Every step you take today is building the foundation for the results you’ll enjoy tomorrow. Stay consistent, stay focused, and trust the process. If you’re ready to elevate your brand, scale your results, and implement strategies that actually convert, I highly recommend working with an expert who understands what works in today’s digital space.

A Dispatcher works for you. Not the other way around. Remember this. In recent years Online “Dispatch” companies (Many of them located overseas) have made their way into the Freight Transportation landscape. They perform all the functions that a Freight Brokerage does, like find you cargo van Freight, but they have none of the legal requirements of a Freight Brokerage. This has led to an epidemic of fraud, primarily where the dispatcher gives you a load, you haul the load, the dispatcher collects the money on your behalf (illegal) but then never pays you. You see this story play out over and over, it primarily happens to those new to the business. Wanting to get loads so bad starting out that they sign on with a dispatcher service ( Because the freight brokers won’t onboard them being their authority is new) and then the dispatch service never pays you for your service. Remember Freight Brokers have to, by law, carry a $75,000 surety bond. So if you are signed on with a Broker, you haul that load, you will get paid because you have a broker bond to file against to get your money from them. But dispatchers have no bond, no laws or regulations requiring them to pay you. Why? because legally they work for you. Learn more about dispatchers in our Cargo Van Freight Class.
