and a BUNCH of trucks who will follow you and start your own agency.
Not necessary, but it is nice to have.
I do have some regulars who I just send Rate Con's to. I just know their schedules like that. Those drivers, who I don't have to babysit are the best. Sometimes when your rates get lowered, they will take the hit with you and when they finally get back up again you can pay them more.
But mostly i just get those foreigners who do my shite for 1$ a mile and make bankkkkkkk

Most bigger companies like Landstar and such don't want agents without drivers. It takes drivers to really add revenue. Otherwise, all you are doing as an agent is watering down everyone's revenue by spreading more freight among the same number of trucks. True brokerage is a bit different though. Agents have it better than brokers as a rule.
