Being a Freight Broker Agent-Home Based Career/Business

Being a Freight Broker Agent may be your answer if you are looking for a home based career or business. It is not a quick fix, it will take you some time to build, (6 months to 2 years) but with the proper training, it can be very rewarding in the long run. And the best part is you can train AND work right from your home. No traveling and no expensive gadgets to buy or sell. All you will need is a computer, a fax machine, a printer, telephone, and a good long distance company. After your training, you will be ready to start working. By now you are probably asking yourself what is a Freight Broker Agent and what do they do. A Freight Broker Agent is the intermediary for the Shipper and the Carrier. The Shipper has products he/she needs transported. The Carrier is looking for the product to transport. Your job will be to put the two together. You will work under the Brokerage and be paid a commission. Much like a sales position only you are working from home and on the telephone. So if you are a go-getter, enjoy talking to people, can use a calculator, and are able to think fast, this may be the career for you. Even though the Freight Broker Agent business has been around for a few years, it is becoming a new trend for the Brokerage. By being a home based business, the Brokerage can have an Agent or Agents in every State if it wishes. (these are called outside agents, but if the agent works inside the brokerage with the broker, they are called in-house agents) The Freight Broker Agent Business continues to grow both ways.
