yes, I have been through the training part. And worked on it for a months worth, just to get the experince.

My only prob is their is no one at all willing to hire someone out of training. Must have at least a years worth of experince.

So, I am unsure of what ato do :(

please E-mail me at billman2002@gmail.com if anyone knows someone that would hire a newb but has had training.

Thanks,

Will

I have an office set-up with 24 hour service, fax, and high speed internet, plus 2 employees and we have not had any luck breaking into the business, the ones willing to hire us as agents, want 1500.00 up front! Why? they wont answer that question, dont want to be scammed, just want to work hard and earn a fair living, can anyone help? Thanks

The "gently used" ones are the same as new ones. Both inexperienced.

Very interested in the logistics industry. I currently am a driver with much to offer. As I began researchinng this industry I read paying for school is a scam. I was a ceo and founder of a corporation and a webmaster (Great with technology)
Just wondering if anyone is willing to take me under there wing and hire me without prior experience. My name is Lance and my phone number is <Edited by Host: contact info removed< or email @ mycomfyhome@sbcglobal.net

I've spoke to quite a few wharehouse owners always willing to try out new truck drivers and good back up brokers. Getting a taste of what it's like being a truck driver really should give me an advantage in stepping into the broker industry.

They speak of exact quotes. I can tell you almost everything needed to know on timing of delivery from point a to b with a lot of equations a typical broker may not think of....From being a ceo of a corporation for 14 years, I know how to satisfy clients and keep them for life.

P.S Tom I sent you an email, feel free to call me or reply
