Pros
- High potential earnings - Quick training that gets you on the phone in under three weeks - Most people are fun and nice
Cons
- Profit-focused, if you're not producing within 3 months they start getting pushy - Training is all over the place and the classroom is almost irrelevant to live work since you can work in a theoretically infinite number of ways - When asking for additional sales training they will instead doubt your skill and confidence - Must manage your loads 24/7, even at 1 a.m. on a Monday night - Extremely competitive market, over 21,000 3PLs so you'll hear "we get calls from 5 of your competitors per day" often - Being a brokerage, our rates are much higher than asset based carriers which makes winning bids difficult - Effectively all of the commission brokers making over 100,000 have been here for 4+ years so you must be patient - A high majority of initial loads were won because the broker happened to call when the customer needed help, luck is a large percent of your success
