2008 Is Going By Fast. Why Let Even On More Minute Go By Before You Start Your New Career In The Freight Business?

---

Hi there, Robert Johnson here.  Are you looking to get started in the Freight Business?  If so, did you know that there are two Magic Phrases that can virtually insure your success?

I am not going to make you read through a bunch of garbage or give you a hight pressure sales pitch just for you to find out what both Magic Phrases are.  

I am going to give you both Magic Phrases and explain what they are in just a few seconds.

As you read this you information that I am about to give you, you will find that myself and my family have been in the Freight and Trucking Business for four generations and you might just find that I know what I am talking about and I am going to share some of the knowledge with you right here so that you can get started in the Freight Business right away.  

We Johnson's have managed to weather all of the changes that have come in four generations of the Freight and Trucking business including the Great Depression in that time with the help of the two Magic Phrases.  I am going to teach you both of them right here, right now.  

The first Magic Phrase is Applied Knowledge.  

Please note that all of the education and training in the world does not count unless it meets the following criteria. 

1. It has to be the right knowledge.  Applying the wrong knowledge, education, or training to a situation will bring you Zero (O) results and in some cases it will make things worse.

My Great Grandfather

If you are new to the Freight Business you may or may not know that the business itself is currently undergoing massive changes .  High fuel prices are pinching profits of companies and Owner Operators everywhere.

Yet, there is still a lot of money to be made in the business.  People still need to buy groceries, clothes, gas, and everything else we use to live and all of this is still shipped by trucks. 

Well first we need to have some definitions for what we are talking about when discussing the Freight Business. Since the Freight Business is Regulated by the Government, what better source to get it from than the horses mouth so to speak?

Now I am not sure how responsive your Congressman is, and yes I know that their approval rating is lower than dirt these days and rightfully so as many are worse than worthless,  and you have to wonder if they are not out to ruin our country, but the one in my District happens to be very efficient, responsive, and just a nice guy who actually does his job.  Yes, I know it is hard to believe.  

I asked him for the latest definitions according to the Government and here is what I received.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

Thank you for contacting me regarding freight brokers and freight broker agents. I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with me.

A freight broker is an individual or company that serves as a liaison between another individual or company that needs shipping services and an authorized motor carrier. Though a freight broker plays an important role in the movement of cargo, the broker doesn't function as a shipper or a carrier. Instead, a freight broker works to determine the needs of a shipper and connects that shipper with a carrier willing to transport the items at an acceptable price.  

To operate as a freight broker, a business or individual must obtain a license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Freight brokers are also expected to carry insurance to protect both their business clients and their customers from loss. In many areas, freight brokers are required to carry surety bonds as well. Many freight brokers gain experience in the industry by working for a shipper or carrier. In this way, an aspiring broker can gain technical knowledge, as well as vital business contacts. Others enroll in freight broker training courses.

            Some freight brokers begin their careers as agents rather than actual brokers. Freight broker agents are independent contractors who work as representatives of a broker.

            These agents handle assigned areas and are able to operate locally even without having numerous contacts in the industry. Start up costs for broker agents are usually minimal. Typically, a computer, telephone, and fax machine are all that is required to work as a home-based agent for a freight broker.

            I share your concern for ensuring quality and professionalism in these fields.

            So much of America's infrastructure depends on freight transit and the agencies and educators that provide industry training and criteria must be held to high standards. I take my oversight responsibility of the federal government very seriously and I assure you that I will continue to monitor this issue and keep your thoughts in mind should legislation come before Congress. 

I hope you will find this information helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any other concerns or questions you may have. You can reach us by phone at (202) 225-2676, or by e-mail through our website at http://jordan.house.gov.

So, there you have it.  The Honorable Mr. Jordan actually brings up some great points too. 

He talks about acquiring technical knowledge and contacts, both of which are absolutely important in the Freight Industry. 

Why Am I Telling You This?

My Dad and my Grandfather

Well, frankly because Trucking and the Freight Business are in my blood and I am tired of seeing so many people pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for programs that supposedly teach you the business but are just a waste of money. 

Am I suggesting that all of the programs out there are bad?

No.

But I would have to say honestly that the vast majority of them are.  

Since I believe that actions speak louder than words, that is why I developed  IXL Freight Training.

The second Magic Phrase is NOW.

"NOW" is the most important world in the entrepreneur's and successful peoples vocabulary.

Non-entrepreneurs and people that do not succeed are always doing things "later."

It's amazing.

So-called normal people act as if there is all the time in the world.

There isn't.

We get paid for the things we do. Not the things we think about doing or the things we talk about doing, but what we actually do.

Thinking and talking can go on forever.

The opportunity to do something positive now that moves you forward is not something to put off for another day.

There are two things that YOU can do NOW that can get you started the right way in the Freight Business. 

1. Pick up the phone and call 1-937-465-4391 and ask me any question that you like about the Freight Business. The is my direct line that I answer, so if I am on the phone (which happens a lot) just leave me a message and I will get back with you ASAP.

2. Put your Name and Email in the boxes below and I will send you some  great FREE information on becoming a Broker and Agent. 

The best time to do this is right NOW. 

Doing things NOW, probably more than any other factor, is at the root of success in life and business and especially in the Freight Business.

In the old days, if you had a truck and and a trailer, you could get set up in business the same day. But now there are more and regulations, along with more and more hurdles.  Many people find all of this overwhelming. 

Which frankly is good for us. 

What this means for you is if you get the right Education and Applied Knowledge, and then you use it NOW, you can be way ahead of the competition.

Others have gotten their training from us and gone on to create their own little Freight "empires."

I just don't see these kind of results coming from any other training programs.

In fact, I've been asking for years for someone to show me a single training that can compare with the results our students get - and I've gotten no takers.

In case you hadn't noticed, not everyone who has entered the Internet Education world in the last few years is looking out for you.

Myself, I'm not sure how I'd ever sort it all out if I were just getting started again today.

However, you can greatly simplify your life and accelerate your learning curve by taking the two Free steps I have given you above and taking a look and a listen to what I, and the rest of the team have put together.

Thanks for your time and good luck! For those of you that took my advice and did something NOW, congratulations! I will be talking with you soon.

Best regards,

Robert Johnson
