Business Broker Guide

Gordon H asked:


I’m looking for new customers for my Freight Brokerage. I just need some helpful leads

woohoo asked:


When Jevic/JTS filed for bankruptcy we heard through the grapevine that JTS (their brokerage division) had not paid all of their carriers. We put all of our JTS payments on hold until JTS could prove they paid the carriers they hired to move our loads. They will not send us this proof. The girl in their receivables dept is threatening (very gruff) that we don’t want to deal with bankruptcy court, they’ll be very tough in demanding this payment. What will bankruptcy court do to us? Will they give us proof these carriers were paid so the carriers don’t go back to my customer saying they weren’t paid then forcing us to pay the carrier direct???? I know this is confusing but any light that could be shed on the issue would be great..email me with questions if I didn’t explain well…thanks!

We just started our home-based trucking company and we want to earn more money by engaging in the “broker” side of the trucking business. My father drives and I handle the business part. What would be the easiest/safiest route to take?
