Default Freight brokering?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum. I have been on the road for 20 years and am looking to find something where I can stay at home. Someone suggested freight brokering. Any suggestions on the best way to go about this? Every online school says they are the best, but I need actual student proof. Where are those successful brokers that went to a decent brokering school? Any help or advice would be appreciated. By the way, I am still trucking until I can possibly get this brokering thing going. Keep it safe out there.

So again we meet.

So far I've found this --- which is not much I'm mostly going to give links and book titles since i'm JUST starting and haven't read much of anything.

http://www.brooketraining.com/index.html
http://www.loadtraining.com/

Two books I've found are
"Freight Broker Handbook" @ amazon.com
Entrepreneur Magazine: Start your own freight brokering business @ amazon.com

My initial impression is that if you want a business that is going to have a low-cost startup - think something else. Most of the things I've read agree on one thing -- if you want to start your own business have 3 - 4 months of living expenses saved up.
