Can I still do it????
Hi all,
I started in the industry last Fall but had some setbacks. I took a freight training course, and really had a good understanding of the business. I signed on with a company, and within 2 weeks started booking freight. Well thats when things started to go downhill. I was asssured this company had good financial backing, and back office support. I had several loads booked, but every time these trucks did a credit check, it would come back to them as a new company and they didn't want to risk doing business without a fuel advance, and/or half the money up front. I ended up losing several customers and good trucking companies due to this fact. Every time I would book a load it was something else. I got so fed up, that I decided to leave the business for awhile, and make some money doing other things. I really love the industry. Having been in business myself, I knew the hours were long, and often times you needed to multi task, and make changes on the fly. My question is this, do you think I could and/or should give it another whirl, or is the market so flooded right now that I should wait awhile?
Sorry to be so long winded, thanks for your help in advance!!!!
