Anyone else unironically fall for the freight broker meme?

This job fucking sucks dick I don't know how people can do it for anything longer than a few months. I've already seen 5 people quit or get fired.

what do you do? do you have to generate your own leads? do you have to do complex logistical routing? do you have to find buyers and sellers to match or do they come to you? What is the cut the broker takes and what is the risk the broker takes and what is the average deal size and how many deals a week do you do?

We receive leads but there's a lot of favoritism so i keep getting the shit ones naturally while the normans get good ones. I also have to make constant coldcalls to try to get customers.

>do you have to find buyers and sellers to match or do they come to you?
Well we find customers who need shit transported and then we find a truck to transport it. We give them the quote (usually it's too expensive or whatever).
>What is the cut the broker takes
Up to you but you obviously can't price things to infinity, you put whatever margin you want within reason.
>what is the risk the broker takes
I don't really take any risk on anything
>and what is the average deal size and how many deals a week do you do?
fairly small for now, i haven't done too many deals it's hard to say

I'm self employed. But after being on this sub, I've been thinking of becoming a freight broker for fun. Honestly it sounds like one of those tycoon simulators.
