Brokering is hit and miss, so don't expect any kind of financial security. The whole idea is to find companies that aren't working with 33 other brokerage's to move their loads. Calling, calling, calling, begging, and more calling is what this job entails. Are you a good salesman? It is very important in this line of work.
I would really equate this job to fishing, some days are great and others just completly suck.

I'm trying too start out as agent but. Brokers has a problem with answering my question. Does the freight agent gets paid one time if he get a contract for the broker? If theres three loads aweek and first one pays $1,000 freight agent gets $120 and $80 goes to the broker and $800 goes too the trucking company. so about the other two loads? Does broker get the hole $200 off the other two?
