Here at Brooke Training, we strive to motivate the go-getters and the go-givers. Our course is designed to help you take control of your future by starting a career as a freight broker or a freight broker agent, whether you have a background in logistics or are brand new to the industry.
There are three main types of individuals that succeed in our course. First, we have individuals with some industry experience who want to open and operate their own brokerages. Second, we have individuals with little to no previous experience who want to work as agents under an existing broker. And third, we have owner-operators who want to learn the business side of the industry, grow their trucking companies, and increase their profits.
Today, we’d like to share stories from some of our students in each of these three categories.
First, we have Ken Elrich. Ken is an example of one of the three types of people that come through our class – a highly motivated individual with experience in the industry, who has the resources and determination to open and operate an independent freight brokerage.
Ken landed in the trucking industry, working as a professional driver. About 17 years later, he started experiencing back problems and realized he needed to find a new line of work. After doing his research, Ken was able to use his Chapter 31 benefits to attend our training.
After graduating, Ken went on to open and operate his own successful brokerage, Black Ops Logistics. He now recruits our Veteran and non-veteran graduates to work for him as freight broker agents. Up to this day, he has on-boarded over 20 agents.
“When my brokerage became legal on July 5th, 2017, I told Drake I was willing to take any and all Veterans from his classes. I wanted to offer my fellow vets an opportunity to work for themselves and without the pressures of a normal job. Now, I speak during training classes with Brooke’s instructors, Drake, Tish, and Susie. I get to help people where most in this industry would rather not. Jeff and Jan have made that possible for me. I am grateful for not only the education and great people who have instructed me, but also for the deep heartfelt warmth from everyone at Brooke, and the friendship.” – Ken Elrich
Next, we have Brandi Patterson. Brandi is an example of the second type of people who do well in our course – individuals with little to no previous experience in the industry, who go on to work as successful agents under an existing broker.
Before starting her career as a freight broker agent, Brandi was working as an interior designer. She knew she wanted to start a career in the transportation industry, but she didn’t know where to start. After taking our basic, advanced, and online course, she utilized the tools and skills that she learned in our training and got to work as a freight broker agent under an existing brokerage.
The success that Brandi has achieved is truly incredible. She found her niche and has created an empire working as an Auto Transportation Professional. Among all of our students who have gone on to work as agents, she’s among the top achievers because she gives 110% and has incredible energy, brilliance, and a “take no prisoners” attitude.
“I have always said, “Winners never lose and losers never win.” If you go into any industry with zero expectations, then what do you have to lose? Nothing. Go for it and you will be surprised at the opportunities that may open up to you.” – Brandi Patterson
Lastly, we have Scott Pitts. Scott is an example of an owner-operator who was striving to learn more about the business side of the trucking industry, grow his family’s trucking company, and increase their profits.
Scott attended our class earlier this year with his wife and daughter. Scott is an owner-operator who owns a trucking company with his family. He wanted to expand their knowledge in order to grow their business and increase their profits. After taking our course, Scott has been able to diversify his business, create additional income streams, and increase his gross income by 20%.
We have so much respect for our drivers and understand the significance of what they do for our industry, so we are very honored to be apart of Scott and his family’s journey to grow their business.
“As an owner/operator, I enrolled in the class to learn more about the brokering side of the trucking industry. From day one, the class is upbeat, engaging and very informative. All of the instructors truly care about you and want you to be successful. By the end of the week, you’ve gained many friendships and a network of people to help you along the way. If you are self-motivated and have an interest in the trucking industry, Brooke Transportation Training is the place to start your career.” – Scott Pitts
We hope you enjoyed learning a little bit more about the three types of individuals who succeed in our course. If you fall into one of these categories and are looking to either open your own brokerage, start a career as a freight broker agent, or grow your trucking company, we’d love to help you in any way we can.
