They won't have the same humor and mentality as I'm accustomed to by posting here for years. Also it will be a different format and most forums are pretty dead.

Worked with a freight broker who fucked up blind shipments all the time. Don’t be that freight broker

That's more like the carrier's fault. They probably didn't properly listen to create two BOL's. Those idiots are braindead if I had a dollar for everytime they've used the RATE CONFIRMATION with the price we're paying the carrier as the BOL....

Sorry, I don't have much to ask. I have my own broker that supplies my production for volume availability and transit times. Both of our job functions are being automated. Moreso his is going to be replaced with automated demand plans. My functions cross over into automated operations/management so there's not a lot of risk there. Do you see products on the horizon that threatens your job security? NPT?

>> No.15414611

Funny thing about this job is that if you can broker the deals yourself, you'll make WAAYYY more money. I'm sure whatever company you joined made you sign a non-compete agreement of some sort so they can rob you blind. Gl.

>> No.15414623

>>15414611
They actually didn't make me sign one but I've heard that's common practice.

>>15414591
Not really sure I can definitely see it being mostly automated or at least automating all the braindead things. I don't see Uber freight as a threat given that they're dying as it is

I guess it depends what you offer to your customers our brokerage isn't run all that well so we're probably at a big risk from that side
