Congratulations on choosing to decide to becomes your own boss. It can be an exciting time and a scary time all at once. BTB wants to help take some of the fear out of your planning this next step. When you start a freight brokerage you have one of two options. 1) Start your standard operation and take on 100% of the responsibility, or 2) Start a Freight Agency. Be your own boss, but have the backing of a long established freight brokerage to navigate the pot holes in the road.
Below is our agent broker calculator. Take some time to answer the boxes in yellow. Your anticipated sales and estimated margin (if you don’t have that number 15% is a good starting point). From there enter yes or no for the services you think you will want. (All of these services by the way are offered when you are an agent for BTB). From there check out the left side in green to see what your profits look like in each options before taxes you would be responsible for.
Once complete hit submit and we will be reaching out to help coach you on your choices. Even if you choose not to be an agent under BTB, we still want to chat and help you achieve success.
