Business Broker Guide

ello! asked:


so slow. i don’t even make enough money to pay all of my rent, electric, etc. i have been borrowing money from my family. i do have a broker bond which i have to keep that money in there in order to do business. if they take it i won’t have any income at all. can they take it out? it’s about 5k.
there is no “account”. there is a company that holds the money in case something happens like i don’t pay a driver, etc.

Is there a website that brokers use to come up with the rates for shippers to move there freight for them? Or how do you know how much to offer a shipper if you want to broker loads for them?

macrotrans asked:


I am in a leagal dispute with my former employer in which I worked as a freight broker. One of the carriers I used as a broker asked me if I knew of someone to become his personal dispatcher. I then set up a company and my g/f handeled the dispatching service from her home. My employer then terminated me and is sueing me because they claim I set up a competivie business against him. I would like the thoughts of other Transportation Industry Pros on this. If anyone could help or send information about this issue I would be very gratefull. Thank You All.
