Donald,

David G Dwinell is the best hands down, you will not find
a more advanced course out there. I took his course years ago
and am now running both a trucking company and a brokerage.
I highly recommend David G Dwinell to anyone out there looking
to start in the transportation industry. There is no other
course out there that even comes close to Davids Guaranteed. I would
recommend the 5 days hands on. It is unbelievable he goes above
and beyond your expectations of what you "think" you will be learning
he really surprises every student. Take my advice you will not regret it
i will even put my own money on it. Donald if you plan on taking Davids
Course, feel free to use me as a referral "George with Best Choice" or
call this number [edit: # removed] and ask for bill, let him know what you
want to do(he works for David).
I have also referred 26 other people and every single one
of them till this very day are SUCCESSFUL with either a Trucking company
with 50+ trucks or a brokerage with 8+ agents.

CAN U PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN I START THIS TRAINING WHO CAN I CALL PLEASE GET BACK TO ME. THANKS

I disagree strongly. I would place our broker training up against any both for price and performance. The "Master" certification program he offers is very funny indeed. There are "NO" distinctions or qualifications for becoming a freight broker. He merely assigns a title to it to charge someone an additional $2000-$3000 dollars. If you want "Real" hands down training check out our website and pricing www.freighttraining.com

To Mr. Freightraining.com: are you so unsure of your own program and products that you have to spend so much time on your website trying to discredit other programs? If your program really IS the best, all you should have enough time to talk about is yourself, and would have no concern for anyone else. And a question for you? How long have you been teaching these freight brokering classes? I can tell you tell you that Mr. Dwinell has been teaching them for over 20 years and has been in the trucking industry itself as a Motor Carrier and a Broker for nearly 50 years! Not to mention the fact that he has been brokering freight daily since the start up of his school. So he is an up to date and viable force in the trucking industry.

For anyone out there that would like to do their own unbiased research you can compare both companies, and see which one will better fit your needs. www.loadtraining.com is owned and operated by Mr. David Dwinell -- then there is www.freighttraining.com -- and let us know how it goes.

I move freight everyday and I have been doing this for quite awhile now.You guys sound like promo ads.Why should anybody have to pay to learn how to move freight? If any one of you had a heart you would teach them for nothing.I learned on my own with no help and I make a good living. I can bet that I can teach someone how to become an agent if their really willing to learn and it won't cost them a dime other then what they need to start.(fax machine,computer,long distance)
BEAT THAT!

Well it's about time that there's someone out there that sees the benifit of teaching someone how this bisiness works congrats on your part.This biz is all about connections as you well know.Teach people how to get what they want and you will get what you want.Hats off to you.

Those schools are thiefs. We have met with all of them and they are all swill merchants. They don't even teach the basics.

We have hired people that don't even know the trailer appreviations.

How do you figure out pricing?

well thats kind of a general question. it all depends on where you want to go.every area is different,if your going east sometimes your looking at as much as 3 bucks a mile,as a carrier would need that because there is no loads that pay anything going out.you have to be more specific.or call a carrier and ask themwhat it would take to move a load from piont a to point b. of course be careful because thereis a price difference if you actually have a load or not.does this help at all.

Hello,

I am a carrier and find it hard to price out loads, for example from Calgary to Toronto. The rates seem to 50% now of what they sould be, that would be running East for example

I can only say that there must be too many trucks in cananda right now wich will typically bring the rates down as the customers don't have to look for carriers. supply and demand dictate what the rates are going to be,to much supply not enought demand.hope this answers your question.

Interesting how Terry and Donald got into Rates when the topic of this post was the credit worthiness of a schools program.

Sounds like Donald and Terry are agents and not brokers. As a broker, I know I wouldn't just train everyone for free. Oh.. and an agent doesn't have the liability on their hands, but the broker does. Makes a lot of sense? Sound like Terry and Donald are trying to get sub-agents. Sub-Agents never work in my opinion.

to be honest I'm not trying to get anyone. I'm just giving my experience away as an agent.I just don't think that people should have to pay for training to learn a business that when it's all said and done they are still ill equipped to become brokers or agents except that know they are in the hole a few thousand dollars. Im not asking for anything. I don't want people working for me. I'm just trying to give something back. I'm guessing for some that might sound hard to believe.

Thats what I'm talking I went to a couple of those training schools and still didn't get training on different trailers can you please shoot me a email with the different training you have tried so I can see if I should still keep searching for another training method or not wwt1957@aol.com

I think they got on the rates because this is a place that goes with the flow and a question is a question if it pertains to freight brokering its a good one and can be asked and answered anywhere at least that is how I find answers and that is how I learn because so many are not giving answers just wanting my money so yes the credit worhiness of a school is are you going to hand me info for free and there it was rate info for free good job thanks for the freebie

I would like to learn the trade if you are still teaching!

I have supervised 3rd party DC for years know lots of drivers and a few shippers and want to get into brokering but still have a lot to learn if someone has the time I would love to talk to you and learn the business I know a lot of it but still don't know how to price loads

Greetings Mr. Trepanier, I am interested in becoming freight broker for commission only. After all my research of course training, I can't decide where to get my training from, and the cost for tuition is outrageous, I praise you for your willingness to train someone. I would love to find a retired Broker who could show me the ropes. Here in Ca, nobody wants share their information with me. Considering I'm in California and you in Wisconsin, what advice could you give me to get started, I am ready to go. You can reach me at mmartinez146@gmail.com

In the meantime, I am certainly interested in learning and becoming a freight broker agent and then becoming part or a company, can someone help? I am not looking to make several mortgage payments in order to learn the business either.

hi just read your comment and i had a question. after you learn the softwares and setup your office, where do you go to find carriers? i know the softwares will list the loads for me.

you must use loadboards. you have to sighn up for them. getloaded.com, internet truckstop.com, to name a couple. the price varies from 30 to 40 dallars a month. some brokerage companies will supply one loadboard for you.

Do you have a Freight Broker Training Course in Vancouver BC or do you know of one
in Canada at all that offers this kind of training.

Please get back to me Thank You

I have worked for 2 reputable transportation companies (swift and bnsf) and none them recommend freight brokering schools. It's a Scam because those who can't do it teach it.

so what do you suggest? signing up for boards like load123.com and learn them. i want to start my own home business.

So how much do you charge to get the License and UCR? As no one needs to use an outside source to apply for the UCR and they can just get out their charge card and apply for their authority on line all by themselves as well. Most of the classes will also walk you through getting your authority etc along with what your teaching only they take more than one day. Most of the training courses end in producing a broker (in name only) thinking what do I do next.

Who is passing judgment on whom? You are constantly pointing the finger at other training that is offered. I was commenting on training courses, giving people of little or no transportation experience, a false since of any one can do this with a day or two of training. Yes you can learn the heart of freight brokering but not the skeleton that holds it all together. This is a business that is easy to start up but your not going to make it without a little bit more than what you are offering is all I’m saying. My agenda is to offer my take on your post. I don't come on here just to be mean to you I really hate to see people be fooled. Also one more point why do you make it sound like you need soooooo much more than you really do? 48 process agents whatever. After you apply for your mc# you will have process agents calling and you can get one for $15

One more thing my agenda to solely criticize service providers is crazy read my old posts I think GOOD ones provide a valuable service. I'm in the service providing business I provide great service and I'm good at it. HONESTY is my number one agenda. So stick to your providing a service of helping people get their authority and stop saying you give something for free. Thats all I pointed out and you never did say how much the fee is. Because maybe you can get what your offering in a manual for less.

Who are you hehehehe See you guys just got it for free. Take it before the post is deleted. If you begin your bargining skills when the process agents start calling (and they will) you can get one for $15. Also to add you can get a bond or trust for around the 950 if you have good credit if not you will pay more but you can still get it.

One thing I didn't like about your post is that training is a scam oh wait, maybe I didn't like two things about your post those who can't do it teach it. Wait I don't like your post at all. There are a lot of training course that are taught by brokers and they do (do it) and have the skills as a teacher on top of it. Maybe the companies you worked for didn't want you to know you could do it yourself.

$950 is already listed in the comment. If you don't qualify for the $950 annual broker bond then you'll probably have to pay the $10k up front.

I think the comment was referring to broker schools not transportation companies that offer training.

This is almost amusing. Mark wants you to tell Pacific he sent you because he gets a commission. He is apparently a trust fund agreement broker just like we are. And unlike Wendy, I will suggest there is nothing wrong with that, even if he is trying to pull the rug out from under us by referencing do it yourself fees. Only difference between Mark and us is we are the biggest broker for Pacific Financial... according to um Pacific Financial. We are the big boys in the freight broker licensing business. Period.

As for you, Wendy, we have been down this path before. You have no use for people like Mark or us. Everything you post reaks of "I have no use for you." Alright, we know it. you know it. The American people know it. Are you done now?

Simply stated, some people want this application process managed to ensure there are no surprises or problems and want to be represented. And some people want to be trained by professionals. Even if it costs them money you would rather they not give up. If you don't agree with that choice, then you really need to keep it to yourself and leave them alone. Get off your high horse and step off the pulpit. Just because you are cheap doesn't mean everyone is. Your insinuation that everything out there that costs money is some kind of scam to take people's money is like the boy who cried wolf. There's no wolf, Wendy. Just honest business people looking to offer their services to help people succeed.

If you other folks can ignore Wendy's paranoia, visit dotauthority.com. When you're ready, we'll help you get your license and bond and then train you for... um, free. No one can compete with free. It's what you folks asked for. Now you got it.

Here's some recommended reading for anyone out there that is a negative thinker:

www.thesecret.tv/

The Law of Attraction is amazing.

OMG, you called me "honey?" Are you sure you're not my ex-wife? lol.

OK, so you brokered for Noah. I'm impressed. But that doesn't give you the right to suggest our services are not the "real stuff."

You are clearly biased against people who earn money representing others in licensing application proceedings. I suppose you don't like painters because people should paint their homes themselves? And plumbers cause you should unclog your pipes yourself? And accountants because you should do your taxes yourself? And lawyers cause you should represent yourself pro se? And contractors, and electricians, and so on and so on. If that's your philosophy, that's fine. But you need not impose your financially conservative beliefs on others.

Tell me, Wendy, what DO you spend your money on?

Here is what you said in the post that I replied to ("$2,500-$4,500 is insane in this economy.
Don't pay a dime for freight broker training!") Now you have twisted it around that I'm saying not to pay for training. Read all my post to you I say in them pay for good training! Are you sure your name is James and not Marty? To answer your question I spend my money on people mostly youngins. If my waiter or watress doesn't have stuff attached to their lips nose or big holes in their ears I give big tips the others get a normal tip. I have a guy that paints my house, another that mows my grass, I know my electrician and plumber by name, I have lived in the same villiage (yep not big enought to be a town) for years, built a new house is the same town sub contracted most of it did the stuff I could do myself. I forgot to mention Noah lives here too,as a mater of fact I watched him grow into a man. I don't take a big dip in my dealings with smaller carriers that do a good job for me. I have been known to only make 10 bucks on a trip figure it all comes out in the wash. I know who is trying to steal my shippers and I know who is going after other brokers shippers. Play them don't trust them. I am anything but financially conservative as you put it I Hate money that is why I spend it as soon as I get it. Oh I forgot I feed a lot of stray cats that live in the woods alot of their food it taken by the other critters that live there too. If you look back I offered a post willing to pay someone to set up an access data base for me. I have since taught myself because no one would help me get it done faster. So yet I pay for fast good service. Hope that helps clear things up for you. But really you did start off saying $2,500-$4,500 is insane in this economy.
Don't pay a dime for freight broker training! You did it so quit acting like it was me I just replied that you were charging more than a dime for training yourself sooooooooooooo get over it Honey!!!!!

If you read my old post you will find out which training I think is worth the money There are three on here that I have supported. When James said we went down this road before James and another trainer were going back and forth and I was on the other ones side. Yes you can get some good training but you need to call and speak with them and check them out. James isn't one of the scams on here so yes by all mean check him out. He's a little high strung and tells people they get his training for free. But if he offers what you want get your authority. Then while your waiting for your authority if you don't know the difference between a van and flatbed or the different types of flatbeds start googleing. You don't need to know programs but excel is something I can't live without. I like paper myself to track my trucks I keep the confirmation in order and make check calls. Yep you will need a confirmation form so make one now. Start calling shippers and see if they use freight brokers. You can make phone calls without an authority then when you get your authority you can have a few shippers lined up to talk to. Good luck.

Are you sure you're not Mother Theresa?

It's not a matter of being high strung, Mother Wendy. It's about being zealous and dedicated to the Industry and the economy. I am intolerant of people who are quick to judge without being in a position to judge. If you have gone through our training program then you have earned the right to comment one way or another.

We did a market research test a while back by offering a free 1 hour how to find freight webinar. People flocked to us in herds. Because it was free. Then we changed it to a $10 fee. Not one person signed up. We are telling people what they want to hear. They don't want to spend money. For those training programs that expect people to pay $2500 in the current economy, they are in for a rude awakening. We have reduced our fee and have started to offer $99 full day online training to help people (and yes, ourselves). Now, we have added it as a perk to people who go through us for their license. Motor carriers get authority, btw. Brokers get "licenses", not authority. These are the distinctions we teach. Things that even seasoned veterans don't know. I dare you to take our webinar for free, Wendy. email james (at) dotauthority.com and I will grant access to next Friday's full day program. I'll bet it will even help you. In fact, it's a challenge!

Here's the problem. In the current economy, people don't want to spend. Period. Because of this, we are still in a recession. People don't want to buy new construction, new cars, training services, ect. Ask your friends the plumber and the electrician. People are buying plungers, draino and snakes instead. Some people truly can't spend because they have lost their jobs and possibly their homes as well, but many can spend and are being selfish or are not spending out of fear. This is a consumer driven recession. The only way we are going to beat this is if we stand up and start to spend and support each other.

Okay the title of this forum is Load broker training school (David Dwinell) I never heard back on anyone that took his course. Was it any good? I have seen a couple web sites for brokers that mention his levels of Brokerage. Their web sites look good and they have been in business for longer than a year so maybe it is a good one. If anyone knows give a shout.
