Episode description

This episode of Freight Broker Boot Camp is dedicated to helping new brokers from making the biggest and most common mistakes. When it comes to giving a shipper your rate, the most common mistake people make is grabbing that quote straight from a rating software which tends to be off by 10-30% most times. In this episode, I show you different avenues you can follow when giving shippers a rate.
