Tomorrow I get a bunch of info plus his MC number so I can make since out of it.
I will check his number, I have the web site to do that.
Does 50% of Gross Profit sound right to broker for another company?
Guess that is what is left after paying the Carrier for the load.
My application I am doing is going well but I have my doubts if Motor Freight Carriers and Shippers would pay another company to have that info at hand.
I'm saving a domain for another project

GB are you building a Shipper database and a Carrier database? I have been chasing freight and collecting shippers daily for over 10 years now. I have binders filling 3 boxes (paper reams) and dont know where, how to save in my computer. I started using spreadsheets, but it lugged the computer speed so, I quit storing in computer and continue to update the binders and we work different areas/binders. My point is maybe we can combine my shipper info with your computer info for a win-win situation.

The general plan is something like that but have Shippers and Carriers use a input form and put their info in and it goes directly into a database.
Then they have access to all the data for a small fee. Right now I am more or less trying out different data base applications to see which one is best for the job. This may be a slow process because now I am learning to be a Transportation Agent, Shipping Broker, call it anything you want but I am stepping out into the big world with Regal, Inc and as of today working under their MC #
Funny today I was suppose to start driving school in Missoula for W/S but they killed that idea for me. Maybe at my age (65) being an agent in a warm Home Office is better. Now I got to make my computer work for me. Get on couple load boards and also call hundreds of companys from lists they are providing right now. I'm just working AZ companys right now. Marty has ideas for me but I also have some of my own.
Don't tell me I am crazy, I already have known that.
