A Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Successful Freight Broker — From First Steps to Full-Time Freedom
Do you dream of starting your own business but don’t know where to begin? You’re not alone. The fear of risk, the unknowns, the loss of security—these doubts stop so many people from leaping. I get it because I was once there, too.
“Build a profitable business from home—no truck required.”
I spent years on the road as an over-the-road (OTR) truck driver. I loved the job but hated missing birthdays, milestones, and time with my growing family.

Now, I run a successful operation with over 22 full-time employees—and I work from home, on my terms. If you want to take control of your life and income while staying connected to one of the world’s most essential industries, this book is your roadmap.
