Trucking: Trucking broker, broker jim, registration overview


Question
Jim-
  My husband is an over-the-road driver who is in the process of buying his own truck and I am looking into becoming a broker. But i do not know where to start. What process do i need to take to complete this accomplishment?

Thank you
Sarah

Answer
Sarah, you will be better off if you can find a broker to hire and train you.  To do it on your own you will need a license from the FMCSA; http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration-licensing/registration-overview.htm

Also check out this organization for a lot of good information: http://www.tianet.org/

Best of luck.  Jim
