re: Anyone have experience being a freight broker?

I'm a silent partner in the terminal, I own 2 Petes that I have drivers in and 3 hotshot trucks (1 tons ) with drivers in them, I myself am a superintendent for a mid sized GC. The trucking stuff is a lucrative side business. I used to drive as an independent o/o but it just got to tough to compete with the aforementioned cheap bastards, so I leased onto ACME and after about a year they wanted to put a terminal in the area where I used to live and me and a friend put up the cash and opened it. I backed off after it got to where it runs itself with just one person doing the dispatching and picking the loads off the board.
