1514. #TFCP - Freight Agent vs. Freight Broker: Which Is Better?!

Find out if the independent freight agent route is actually the smarter and safer play in today's volatile market with our guest, Erik Larson (Sage) of SPI Logistics! Sage breaks down the absolute biggest debate in transportation and logistics right now. We're giving you straightforward advice on the massive financial risks, insurance liabilities, and cash flow constraints of launching a full-scale freight brokerage versus building a solid book of business as a freight agent.  With nuclear verdicts and massive court rulings shaking up the trucking industry, jumping in without standard operating procedures, a bulletproof tech stack, and serious cash reserves is a recipe for disaster.  We're talking unfiltered truths about reading shipper contracts, proper carrier vetting, and the real cost to operate so you can make the best decision for your business.
