This book completely oversimplifies almost every aspect of brokering frieght. It has a few good tips, that's about it.

I purchased this book because I am interested in starting my own Freight Brokerage Business. In order to start your own brokerage company you "must" already know how to broker freight. What I am looking for is detailed information about where to start and everything that is needed to startup. This book just gives a "very simple" explanation about how you broker freight. This was a total waste of my money!!!! I have been in the trucking business for 21 yrs and have brokered freight for about 8 years so I already know in general what needs to be done. I need a book that is much much more informative about HOW TO START A FREIGHT BROKERAGE!!!

overall not bad....but a person trying to start their own biz will need more info than found in this book.

This book is an elementary review of freight brokering. It resembles a pamplet and I do not recommend it to anyone.

This book has great tips on certain topics. However, the book really doesn't have a personal feel to it. Being a freight broker is a lot more complicated then this book makes it out to be. It also really glazes over topics that shouldn't be glazed over, like forming a customer base. The order in which the material is presented is also a bit lacking. For example, we discover what kind of money it takes to start the business, at the end of the book. It almost seems they are trying to portray this as a get rich quick scheme, instead of a fully functional self starting career.

I am working with someone who is already familiar with this business. We just wanted more information on starting one of our own. This book has very little information for the more important components, like the cost of licenses or anything specific for that matter. Palo Alto Software will sell you the same book (perhaps a slight different version) in eBook form but for [...] dollars and are not upfront about their book being the Entrepreneur book. Do yourself a favor, find a better source for your startup. I should also mention a chunk of the book is available for FREE at [...] site.

Read the book cover to cover. Some of the contentis useful, some of the content was not. 1/2 the book was very generic to any business startup and didn't add value. I recommend the book but DO NOT purchase through the seller I used. The shipping time is painfully looooong and expensive.

Good for someone how is starting their own business, if you deal with your own company, is more of what already you do.
