So you'd advise me to take it if I'm cut out and can adapt to the environment? I've heard 6 digits is absolutely feasible within a few years if you can continuously build a solid customer base. I'm 24, so the thought of that type of money is definitely solid motivation. Another thing, say I'm a succesful broker - where is room for advancement? What would be the next step on the logistics totem pole?

I just turned 24 myself, love the money man.

Don't get ahead of yourself, building customers is harrrrddddddd. The point is, you don't give up. I'll call the same company 2x a week every week until that guy gives me a load or blocks my number. You have to have dedication.

As far as advancements go, if you build enough people, you'll have to expand. You can't handle the load volume when you get up there. Me and my partner, loaded 240 loads this month and that's MON-FRI. Everyday after work i've been mentally exhausted just from the sheer amount of people i've had to talk to or deal with. If you can prove yourself, you might get promoted to sales where you actually are over accounts and will go and fly to the customers and go to conventions to meet new people

Lots of opportunity if you just try
