Freight Broker Basic workshop Package

Specializing In Start-Ups $1,495.00

By far our most popular package, the FBA Basic Workshop Package is perfect for those wishing to begin or further their career as a freight broker. As part of your Freight Broker Basic you'll receive a 3-day Workshop with a TALTOA transportation consultant at our location in Fort Smith, Ar.

The advantages of attending a Freight Broker Basic Workshop not only includes the training you'll receive by being with your consultant, but also the first hand knowledge via the "Hands-On" use of broker tools such as load boards, freight broker software, mileage programs, backhaul directories and more.

Why clients choose TALTOA...

We're much more than a freight broker school
TALTOA is a transportation and logistics consulting firm specializing in freight broker start-ups. Either as a freight broker with your own authority or as a freight broker agent, we have the expertise to help our clients get started the right way!

On-going Support
As part of our packages clients receive a 90-day consulting period, longer if needed. During this period clients and their staff have unlimited phone support. As questions or problems arise, clients know that help is only a phone call away.

Continuing Education
Clients have unlimited access to the Freight Broker Training
E-Workshop. Packed with training videos, industry information, account leads and more. The Freight Broker Training E-Workshop is available to clients 24/7.

Affordability
No where can clients find more for the same investment. We're in business to help our clients succeed as a freight broker or freight broker agent. It takes much more than a few days and a certificate to become a successful freight broker. Our clients know that we're committed to their success and here for the long haul.

The FB Basic Workshop Package is designed to assist existing and start-up freight broker agencies. As an agent you are contracted to an existing freight brokerage as an independent contractor. As such you receive a 1099 at the end of the tax year. Our goal, as your consultant, is to enable you to have the tools, knowledge, and support needed to be successful as an agent operating your own business.

Your initial consultation term will be for 3 months (90 days). To begin you will choose which dates to attend the Freight Broker Training 3 day Workshop in Fort Smith, Ar (transportation, lodging and meals not included).

During your 3-day workshop your consultant will learn:

The Proper effectiveness of a broker
Different types of loads
How to prospect for new accounts
Negotiating rates with new accounts
Checking the shippers credit
Shipper load confirmations
Right way of working the load boards
Right way to search for trucks
Proper use of a backhaul list
Different types of carrier equipment
Negotiating with carriers
How to approve a carrier
Transportation legalities
Broker software
Carrier load confirmations
Monitoring a load
Creating lanes
Terminology
Claims
Billing
Accounts receivable
Accounts payable
Obtaining your first broker/agent contract
Obtaining your own authority
Obtaining your bond
Contingent cargo insurance
The agency system

That's only the basics of what your TALTOA consultant will cover during your two day Workshop. Another item that will be discussed is basic salesmanship. Regardless of what anyone tells you, a freight broker is a salesperson. Having a basic knowledge of sales is a must.

Although a freight broker is by no means a telemarketer, you will conduct nearly 100% of your business via the telephone. Knowing how to work the phone like a telemarketer is extremely important. Proper telephone techniques will also be covered during your FBA Workshop.

Additionally you'll receive;

The TALTOA Freight Broker Basic Workshop Kit - As soon as you arrive for your Workshop will be given your FBA Consult Kit. The kit contains A POA (Plan of Action) designed exclusively for you and your business, the FBA-101 Manual, FBA Consult Workbook, Carrier Directory, Shipper Directory, broker agent demo software and various supplies you will need during your Workshop.

Unlimited Phone Support - As questions arise you can pick up the phone and call your consultant. Often these questions are for rate assistance, terminology clarification, and contract assistance. We urge you to use phone support as often as needed.

Weekly Conference Calls - You will be invited to attend our Weekly Consult Conference Call. All of our clients are invited to attend and discuss topics that are of concern to them. This can be of benefit to all as the WCC consists of brokers, transporters, hot shots and trucking companies.

Immediate Email Updates - All consulting clients receive regular emails from us containing important information relating to the transportation industry. It is not uncommon to receive several updates per week.

Monthly Reports - Each client receives our Monthly Consult Report which contains news, information, suggestions, and more.

Software and Service Discounts - Because of our industry affiliations with software and service companies we are able to provide our clients tools for their agencies at discounts of up to 50%.

Client Area Access - As a client you will be given a username and password that will allow you and your staff access to our client area. This is a great tool that you will use daily as it provides information such as the e-version of FBA-101, videos, chats, downloadable forms, account leads and more.

The 90 day Freight Broker Basic Consulting Package is available for $1,495.00 which includes a 3-day Freight Broker Basic Workshop.
