1369. #TFCP - 5 Hard Truths: What I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Business!

Today, let's talk straight about why firm quotes matter, how cash flow mismanagement (not lack of freight) kills brokers, and why securing contracts early beats chasing top-line revenue!

Listen as I share more about the use of smart freight technology, focusing on automating what already works instead of wasting money on shiny tools, the real power of strong transportation networks when problems arise, and why niche specialization like flatbed and open-deck freight shortens sales cycles fast.

Finally, I highlight the rising insurance and regulatory costs and why tight expense audits and flexible budgeting are non-negotiable if you want to stay profitable in today's freight brokerage market!
