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 👍

We’re on a mission to help drayage brokers secure freight without cold calling or long hours prospecting. As an ex broker I understand that the industry has it wrong. You shouldn’t have to be good at sales to perform well. There’s sales and there’s operations. Stop combining them because the industry has been doing so.

I’ve been working on an automation that helps find verified shipper leads with direct contact details (email + phone). Instead of manually scraping databases or relying only on referrals, this automation gathers the information in an organized way so brokers/forwarders can focus more on outreach and closing loads rather than searching. The goal is to: - Save time on prospecting - Provide qualified shipper leads with verified contacts - Make it easier to build your shipper network consistently I’m curious – for those of you in freight brokerage / freight forwarding, do you see this kind of automation making a real difference in day-to-day operations? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Have you heard about Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence act in your company recently also known as DS3D? An initiative from the EU that spans globaly. It's a crucial topic that many businesses in North America have yet to address. However, some major companies are leading the way with proactive steps and significant initiatives. So, what exactly is Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence? Well, on 25th July 2024, the Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence (Directive 2024/1760) came into effect. This Directive aims to promote sustainable and responsible corporate practices within companies' operations and throughout their global value chains. The new regulations will require companies within scope to recognize and mitigate any adverse human rights and environmental impacts resulting from their activities, both within and beyond Europe. Both Human rights and Environmental impacts are two key topics that surround the world of transportation & Logistics. This initiative marks a significant step towards fostering sustainability and accountability in corporate practices, ensuring a more ethical and environmentally conscious approach to business operations.
