    Great advice, and spot on! I opened my first freight brokerage almost 12 years ago and am grateful to have had good guidance and advice. I'll add that I also met with my Small Business Administration's representative before I discussed anything with my CPA or my attorney. I made the migration to broker from a 15 year career as a Landstar agent. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you for helping others understand the importance of laying a good foundation (personal credit is KEY!)

    I wouldn’t say a $3,000 bond is bad. I pay $815 quarterly for my BMC-84, because yes my credit is not great, but I easily make that quarterly. Hell, I can make that in one day.

      @@adonijahtaylor547 every goods based business is a potential client, cold calling is a necessary evil…it helps if you research the company, and make sure you’re an upstanding businessman who understands communicating the good and bad goes a long way. LLC, BMC-84, and then cold calling or warm calling if you already know someone.

      Just as a heads up, listening to this channel, I now pay $1500 for my bond. Prestige International in Florida, and I now have 300K contingent cargo insurance for $800, which allowed me to become a FEMA approved transportation provider. Again, Prestige International...ask for Jimmy.

    I love that you throw out there that getting a loan as a Freight Broker is not needed. I heard you say that 3 years ago an I took your advice. I stashed an saved an waited. I have been building Dee Dee Logistics LLC for 2 1/2 years an did NOT need a loan to do it. I am at the point where I'm ready to move loads an awaiting the FMCSA to authorize me. That is great advice. I knew if I did that I would instantly be in the hole an that's not a good look. Thank you for posting these videos for us 😁

    Facts!! This man told the truth, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth. You might need to start as a Freight agent on his platform while developing your skills and getting extra support before you become a broker.
