30% commission. Jamie the worst you can do with any brokerage is starting off at 50% commission do not call this guy. You do not even have to have a book of business and you get 50% walking in the door.

I took an online course for Freight Broker Agent through Gatlin. Which is also Brooke Training with Jeff Roach. The course was $1700.00 to take and its a 6month Program. When you complete it oyu will get a Diploma from Gatlin through a local University in your area. Stay away from the 1 week training deals... there is alot of info for you to cover for a week. Let me know.

Can someone please call me about entering the logistics field?! Ideally, I'd like to be a freight broker. However, I have a BA in Human Resource Mgmt as well as Sales/Business Development experience (mainly in Construction and Entertainment/Music) and would be willing to accept another position in the industry.

Please contact me if anyone knows of opportunity such as the aforementioned.

Thanking you,

Shana
