So, you\u2019re looking for a new career path or just starting out. There are many job titles that may pop out at you. Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve seen \u201cFreight Broker Agents Wanted<\/a>\u201d on American Freightways web site. This might be something you are interested in but do you know what a freight broker agent does? If you have no experience, do you know where to get freight broker agent training<\/a>? <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the definition of freight broker agent. A freight broker agent is a third party that coordinates shipping service between a business needing shipping services and the best trucking company for them. Many freight shipping companies use freight broker agents to secure shippers for them to keep costs down as they don\u2019t have to have full time staff on the payroll to perform this function. Truckers benefit from a freight broker agent because it helps keep their trucks full and on the road. <\/p>\n

Being a freight broker agent is a fast paced career. The broker agent must be familiar with the cargo industry. Many agents get their initial experience with a trucking company. Once the ins and outs of the cargo industry are familiar, developing a client list is essential. To be successful a freight broker agent needs to have a good working relationship with shippers and freight companies. You\u2019ll need to match shippers with appropriate freight companies. Know which freight companies are capable of handling heavy loads or livestock; which companies can handle perishable loads. Know what regional areas are serviced by which freight companies. Having experience in the cargo industry is not required if you find a company like American Freightways to train you. They have an excellent freight broker agent training program you can take advantage of. <\/p>\n

A freight broker agent must be someone who is organized. The agent will have to coordinate the shippers cargo needs as well as pick-up and delivery time frame requirements with a trucking company that can match these requirements. An agent must have a positive attitude, good work ethic and be personable. No one will want to work with a disgruntled, grumbling freight broker agent. <\/p>\n
