TALTOA

Welcome to the TALTOA Blog. TALTOA is short for Transportation and Logistics Training of America. Our training zeros in on two main areas, Freight Broker training and Transport training. A third area that we specialize in is transportation and logistics consulting. In our first post we will focus on becoming a freight broker. A freight broker is an intermediary between a shipper and a carrier. Carriers (trucking companies) generally have their customers in a relatively close proximity to there terminal. When a carrier moves a load for one of it's customers they are left with no way in which to re-load in order to return. Hence they call a freight broker in search of what is commonly referred to as a backhaul.

One of the most asked questions we receive is how much money can I make as a freight broker? That is entirely up to you. There are individuals in this business that make 6 digit incomes. On the flip side of that coin there are individuals in this business that didn't make a dime. Why the huge difference when both had the same opportunity? That answer is relatively simple. Training. If one knows how to do a job correctly he or she can perform that job. However if one doesn't know how to do a job, failure is likely probable.
