What questions should i ask when i call a broker to find out if i should sign up with them?
Does it matter if their office is located totally elsewhere than where i'm running out of?

There are a couple of things I like to know. First is their MC number so that I can start to check them out. Second is how long it takes to get paid. Of course, you always need as much information as possible about the load. I want to know the weight, dimensions, whether it is legal, pick up and delivery schedules, special handling, stops, etc.,
