1. Trucking Freight Brokerage Business Start-Up: Step By Step Guide To Become a Successful Freight Broker
Description
Trucking Freight Brokerage Business Start-Up
Step by Step Guide to Become a Successful Freight Broker
The idea of owning a business crosses everyones minds from time to time, and I was no different. For the majority, all that really comes along is a fleeting thought that never gets much true consideration.
There are many reasons why people are afraid to take the plunge - they do not have access to substantial funds, they are afraid to lose the security that comes with a steady paycheck, they believe they will have even less time for family and other commitments, and a host of other "I just can't do it" excuses.
But the biggest reason that most people never try is simple - they are terrified of failure.
I was no different as I mentioned, I have gone through all the phases that most go through before getting into their own business, but being a OTR truck driver, I was gone weeks at a time. I still loved what I was doing, but I had been married now for several years, and we had two children with a third on the way. I missed my family when I was gone, and it was hard on my wife as well.
Then that little voice in my head came back and whispered, "Open your own business." This time I was in a position to listen and listen I did.
When I look at the faces of my family and know without a doubt that running my own Freight/Trucking Broker Business was the best decision I ever made.
I make my own hours, work right from home, and never miss any of those important life moments. There is so much opportunity out there for others just like me. I could work 24 hours a day if I really wanted to.
I started off with just myself and my wife in the office, and now the wife is "retired, and we have 22 full-time employees in various positions.
Starting out on my own took a lot of guts and was a long and winding path full of trial and error.
I wish I had of been able to read a book like this when I was just getting up and running.
But you will be the one to benefit because I have already done all of this stuff and now I will share it with you.
Do you want to be your own boss? Sit back, put your feet up, and start reading. Right NOW! Then Just Do Exactly What I Did.

About author Bruce Stimson started his factoring career in 2001, when he founded QLFS, which eventually became the Invoice Trucking Group. Mr. Stimson led the firm through its initial growth and established it as a leading provider to startups and small companies in the New England region.
After QLFS, Mr. Stimson launched Trucking Capital LLC to provide services in the USA, Canada and Australia. Under his leadership, Trucking Capital LLC has expanded to offer a number of business finance products and can help companies in most industries.
Trucking Capital LLC is one of the few companies that offers micro-factoring (also called small-ticket factoring), which helps early-stage companies with limited revenues. Small business factoring has been ignored by larger factoring firms and banks, establishing Mr. Terry as a pioneer in this market.
Before starting his career in finance, Mr. Stimson held several management positions in operations and marketing in the telecommunications industry for eight years. He earned a Masters Degree in Finance with a concentration in banking.
