So, you’re searching for a new opportunity … and having trouble finding something suitable. You might be tired of your current situation, but it’s not easy to pick up and start something new, right?

Why You Should Listen to Me

I’m selling a mini-course, and let me explain upfront why you should consider it.

My name is John D. Thomas, and for over 20 years, my niche has been freight broker training. I’ve trained over 900 individuals, and my highest-priced course is $3,495 for two days of live training all the way down to my Home Study option for $1,150.

This can be expensive for many people. So, I’ve created a mini-course that delivers powerful results at a fraction of that cost.

Why trust me? I’ve built my programs based on my personal experience of working as a freight broker, based on my constant research, and based on thousands of hours of course creation and hands-on logistics training.

I hold two college degrees, one in accounting, and after graduation, I knew I wanted to create training for people. Three years into running my own freight brokerage, Atex Logistics, Inc., I began my first training program.

It took off immediately.

In fact, my second client told me I should be charging $1,000—after paying me $695.

Here’s what another client said …

I would highly recommend Johns program to anyone, whether you have expertise in transportation or are new to the industry. His common sense approach, the one on one telephone training and his materials leave you fully prepared to succeed at what ever level you desire.

 – Judy Gilbert Breseman from Prairie Farm, WI

 

Here’s How the Freight Broker Business Works:

1. You’ll need to obtain your broker authority before starting operations.
2. You become an intermediary between shippers and motor carriers.
3. Your shipping customers provide you with orders, and you use special tools to identify and contract motor carriers.
4. You’ll negotiate a rate that the shipper will pay on each load;
5. You’ll then turn around and offer the truck a lesser fee than what the shipper is offering you.This spread becomes your profit and it’s rinse and repeat for as long as you want to keep brokering.

Sounds simple, right? But it’s not always that straightforward.

There are many details and procedures that must be done in sequence, or you could mess up an entire load.

Today, I’ve added hotshot and dispatch training, and I’m exploring new areas like bookkeeping and mini-audits for small trucking companies.

The Purpose of This Mini-Course

The purpose of this mini-course is to provide you with a clear understanding of WHAT freight brokering is all about—without breaking the bank. You may not be ready to jump into freight brokering right now, but you’d like to SOLVE THE MYSTERY of what this business is all about.

I’m so confident in the value of this mini-course that I’m offering a full refund if you don’t feel you’ve gained the knowledge you were seeking. The risk is all on me.

On the other hand, if you want to go deeper into the full details—including the “HOW”— you’ll have the opportunity to join me for Zoom sessions, where – after training – you can start calling on customers in about 30 days.

I’ve worked with school teachers, housewives, former logistics workers, owner-operators, displaced employees and many others.

What Will You Gain from This Mini-Course?

You’re probably wondering what the outcome of this course is. What will you gain?

• Clarity: You’ll gain a clear understanding of freight brokering so you can decide if this is the right path for you.
• Decision-making quickly: You’ll have the knowledge to make an informed decision quickly (as freight brokering too is normally a fast-paced business).
• Lifetime skills: You’ll learn and apply skills that no one can take from you.

While I can’t guarantee you’ll wildly succeed, I do guarantee that by the end of this mini-course, you’ll have enough information to decide whether freight brokering is a good fit for you or not … AND, for some, this may be all you need to go ahead on your own to start and operate your brokerage.

Why This Course is a Great Investment

You’ve likely spent time and money trying to solve your uncertainty and procrastination. My live training as mentioned earlier sells for $3,495, my Zoom training for $2,495, and my Home Study course for $1,150.

Before I decided on a price for my mini-course, I thought it should be at least half of the cost on the Home Study which would have been around $600.

But I’ve priced this mini-course at just $297—about 75% cheaper than my Home Study course!

This lower-cost option lets you explore the freight brokering industry without a huge upfront investment … and, look at my guarantee here …

No-Risk Guarantee

You don’t need to invest thousands of dollars just to learn if this industry is for you. I’m offering a 30-day full refund guarantee for this mini-course.

I’ve never offered refunds for my other signature programs. But I understand that many people want to explore the freight brokering industry without a big risk and without having to jump in headfirst. So, the risk is on me.

I think you’ll be overwhelmed with this mini-course.
