Pathetic
27 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback
Very little practicle information, lots of useless information - like, buy a photocopier and get the internet.
The book says the great thing about the business is that you can be home-based, thus minimizing expenses. Only
tucked somewhere in the book does it let you that you need a minimum of $250,000 to $300,000 credit line from
a bank in order to get started and the book tells you that freight brokers (especially new ones) are not bankable.
The book starts off by explaining that a freight broker brings shippers and carriers together and that anyone who
wants to really do this, can. --> Only later does it let you know the bad news, that at least 99% of truckers only
use freight brokers because the freight brokers ADVANCE their money to them (hence the huge $250,000 minimum start up costs)and the freight brokers then need to collect the fees from the shipper.
In other words, I believe the publishers of this book are doing a disservice to the many people who are buying their words at face value that this is indeed a home-based business that anyone (who will work at it) can do.
This is untrue. If you don't have immediate money to pay the truckers, you can't even start.
ALSO, becasue the book provides VERY LITTLE INFORMATION, it does not empower you with the knowledge you will need to
approach a company with a propostion to use you as their shipping broker. It's as simple as that.
The publishers of this book are wasting their readers money.
