Is it worth becoming a freight broker?

Yes, it is worth becoming a freight broker. This career can be lucrative and can bring a significant amount of flexibility since you own your own business. Trucks are responsible for getting the majority of the U.S.'s food, clothing, and other products where they need to go, so there is no shortage of business for freight brokers. The key is to make sure you are diligent in setting up your business, so you don't incur any unnecessary costs or legal trouble. Any business can fail due to mistakes in marketing, permits, and finances, and freight brokerage is no different. You should also make sure you're willing to put in the time and money required to get your business off the ground. You won't get to enjoy much of the flexibility and income you might be hoping for as a freight broker at first since you'll be building a client base and getting everything running smoothly, although it'll eventually come. If you aren't sure you can commit to this, becoming an independent freight broker may not be worth it, but if you can, it may be a great path to take.
