What are you paying for? Also you can check a company's MC # by going to FMCSA's website below. Just input the name and the state they are domiciled in. Good luck.

I am not sure if I understand your question completely. If you are asking me if Turbo Tranport is an accredited School, I can't help you with that. I am not aware of any Freight Broker schools that have accreditation, I don't think that exists and would be weary of those that tout that as a selling point. So that $994 is for their schooling I am assuming? Good luck.

Ana, did you already go through the course? I am watching a video of them on u tube. They say they are 100% money back guarantee also.

Hey Ana, did you go through with the course? How are you doing so far? Appreciate some feedback, I am thinking of going with them. Just heard about the "double brokering scams!"

Scott-

I understand you don't need to be accredited by any agency in order for you to train individuals in brokering freight. I never insinuated that you did. Anna did seem confused about her question and I also thought she probably meant MC#, that's why I provided a link to the FMCSA website for her in my second response.

Regards,

Jason

I learned about different websites that can help you figure out fuel charge etc. The person I had help me was almost always available and if not called me back within the hour

Kimberly, how are you doing so far in the business? How long have you been at it?

I think turbo transport is a better option for the money, they are actually in the freight business, TALTOA is just a training consulting company. They are not actually doing it.

it seems just another broker story, i haul a load for theese guys and they call me 10 times a day from when i load it until i deliver it, then go out of business without paying me. theese guys will probablly open up under a new name and mc # and start all over again. i guess if i can get down to kankakee, il. i might just try to find the owners of the company, they don't answer the phone, so i guess i'll just pay them a visit. ralph datka, from r.d. trucking, from ladysmith, wi.

Hey, heard they were a rip off! How much did they charge you?

i just want to know why anyone is still talking to turbo transportation group, i was told by the president of the company, karl bruning, that they were OUT OF BUSINESS, as well as checking them on federal motor carriers, that they are out of business. if they are still operating under a different company, i would like to know, because they owe me for hauling a load for them. or is that what they teach in their class, how to cheat the trucking company, nice profit, i put the fuel in the truck @ $4.00 a gallon, pick up the load, haul it 1000 miles and then deliver it, but they get paid. like i said before just another broker rip-off story. any comments...ralph datka, r.d.trucking, ladysmith, wi.

i haul for ch robinson on a regular basis and get paid in 7-10 days, so i'm not bashing all brokers. it makes me mad that when you haul a load from clinton, ia and plymouth, mn and take it to bedford heights, oh on 2-11-11, and expect to get paid in 30 days, like the agreement said, only to find out on 3-21-11, turbo was out of business and when i contacted the bonding company was told that the claims outnumbered the bond. if you were so honest as you say, it would not be hard to pick up a phone and call and tell us what was going on, not just put up a web page saying that turbo is out of business and when you call the # on the site it says mailbox full, after i left 4 messages to call me back. i also searched the web and found a couple of sites that gives names and contact information, and even saw you and scott woods on myspace talking about your company. i even sent karl bruning a message on facebook and he replied the same thing about the accounting firm. but no info about how to contact them. so if you are as honest as you say, i can understand that things happen, but all i want is the name and contact information from the accounting firm, that should not be too hard, as i need to send them my info from the load that i hauled for you, a little comunication can go a long way, maybe you should teach that in your class. again any comments, ralph datka, r.d.trucking, ladysmith, wi.

what, no more snappy coments on how honest you so called "brokers" are. like i said, i do a lot of loads with brokers and in 16 years as running on my own authority you guys are my first time not getting paid. and as far as not being connected to all the other companies, all you have to do is google turbo transportation group, inc and see what it concects you with. oh the wonders of the internet!!! i'm not making any of this up, it is out there as public information. the only thing i can't find is the so called accounting company, maybe it's another one of your companys. you can even find you guys on you-tube, from baxter bailey and assoc. looking to collect from you guys. like i've said before, any comments, ralph datka, r.d.trucking, ladysmith, wi.
