The earning potential for a Freight Broker hinges on your ability to attract and manage clients. Ranging from a few hundred dollars per month to a six-figure annual income, the scale of your operation and your goals play a pivotal role. On average, the industry sees an annual salary exceeding $115,000.
The required investment varies based on whether you choose to become a Freight Broker or a Freight Agent, as well as the scale of your intended operation and marketing budget. Application costs for a Freight Broker license typically stay under $500, while the expense of a surety bond fluctuates based on your financial and credit standing.
