Can Anyone Guide Me In the Right Direction??

I am a freight agent and have been for about 7 years now! The company that I was working for went out of business when the owner had passed away! Well i just found a new compnay to work for abut I need help to draw up a contract so that this new company won't take my customers if I decide that I dont want to be there! He already agreed to sign it if I drew it up! I am looking to start on Monday so ASAP would be so helpful!!! Thanks in advande

I am planning on opening a brokeage firm around October. I will not keep a agent's clients is they decide to leave. You have a lot of experience and I would like to speak with you as I have a few questions about this business.

To be honest with you , I have been an agent for other companies as well as running my own. I have found that since I became an agent with Landstar, my whole game was changed. Ofcourse there are obviouse bennefits to being an agent over running your own Brokerage, however not all companies that have an agent program are the same. Infact I would say that most are not very good at all as they may not give the support or service offerings you may need. I can say for sure that since I became a Landstar agent my business opportunities have increased beyond what I thought. The whole company is 100% agent based so there is no competing with company owned offices. We hacve every mode of service available to us even if we do not specialize in it. We have the abality to network with other Landstar agents that can help educate and handle freight for you. For instance I specialize in Intermodal, Truck Brokerage and LTL. I help other agents move intermodal for their customers. There are other agents that help me move International shipments. Yes I have heard that other companies may offer a higher comission, but when the day is all done I have made more with Landstar than I have with any other company. here is my site www.goafs.net
