‍A freight broker is an intermediary between a shipper who has goods to transport and a carrier who has capacity to move that freight.

 In order to become a licensed broker, you must complete the licensing process. This process typically takes 2-3 weeks and can be completed at any time. This course does not cover the cost of your Freight Broker Authority.

 All sales are final. No refunds will be issued, however training maybe rescheduled once with 24 hour notice.

 Before you start operating in the field, you need to get a freight broker license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The licensing is also referred to as obtaining your Motor Carrier Operating Authority (MC authority).

Your first step in getting licensed is to get a USDOT number, which is required on the application form. Then you can start the registration process on FMCSA’s website. Along with filling in the freight broker application form, OP-1, you have to also pay the one-time application fee of $300. You can find further instructions for filling in OP-1 HERE. The processing time is between four and six weeks.

Once your application has been approved, the FMCSA will send you your MC number by mail. The MC number, however, does not mean you can start business yet. When it’s issued, it gets posted on the Register page of the FMCSA. Within 10 days, anybody who finds a problem with your registration can protest against it. After this period, you are granted the MC authority. Your MC will be active in 21 days if all of the requirements have been met and there are no protest.

 In the United States, freight broker surety bonds are required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to move property such as household goods or freight and motor cargo (vehicles). Their role is to guarantee that freight brokers and auto transport brokers will operate according to their agreements with shippers and motor carriers. If a freight broker or auto transport broker does not comply with their contract, the carrier or the shipper may file a claim. The cost of the Surety Bond is based on personal credit. Prices range from $1000 to as high as $5,000.

 With starting any business venture there are start up expenses that can start at $1200 but will be dependent on the cost of insurance, type of business structure and operational costs. On average, it will cost about $3500 to start this business.

 A one-person company can easily make over $100,000 first year. Those that add freight agents under their Brokerage can make this amount for each employee in the company and pay them based off sales. Typically 30% of profits.

 Most brokers start working from home and expand to an office as their company grows.

 It depends on how many clients you can find and manage. On average each truck can generate $1000 in earnings per month. For a “single person operation” 3 to 5 trucks can be comfortably managed. Therefore, resulting in income of $3000 to $5000 per month.

Usually less than a $500. But again it depends on what scale of operation you intend to set up.
