  • I listen EVERYDAY!

    I learned about this guys through the TIA and stumbled across their podcast. I listened to one of the episodes and was completely hooked. Nate and Ben give great advice for both new and experienced freight brokers. I make it a point to listen to an episode before I start my day and when I am winding down. Do yourself a favor and start with episode #124: Setting Goals if you are looking for practical advice to get started and measure yourself!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Much Risk Can A Broker Really Ignore | Final Mile 144
Q: What are you really worried about when dealing with a new MC?
Worries include the risk of theft or fraud, questions about whether to require longer-established authority, and the importance of performing thorough vetting beyond basic checks, recognizing that brand-new carriers can still be legitimate if properly reviewed.
How Much Risk Can A Broker Really Ignore | Final Mile 144
Q: Why would a broker hide the details of the commodity they're asking a driver to haul?
The discussion highlights theft as a primary motivator, but also notes that some brokers may withhold commodity details as a negotiation tactic or to simplify early conversations until a carrier is secured, though this practice is increasingly questioned as risky and potentially dishonest.
Is AI In Your TMS Helping Or Risking Everything | Final Mile 142
Q: How should I handle proof of the rate when my customer short pays or disputes a charge?
Always get it in writing, ideally via load tender or a follow-up email confirming the agreed rate and load details, so there is a concrete paper trail the factoring company can reference.
Tracking, Check Calls, Sending Photos. Is It Too Much? | Final Mile 140
Q: Is it even possible to co-broker if both sides have different factoring companies?
It's generally not possible to factor invoices across two co-brokerages because the factoring company won't allow cross-factoring when there's a risk of one side not getting paid, which can create a double-payment scenario and legal exposure for both brokers and shippers.
Buying A Trucking Company Can Reset Your Credibility | Final Mile 139
Q: From our Facebook group, if I buy a trucking company, will brokers still work with me as a new owner?
The host explains that outcomes depend on how ownership is transferred, including whether it's a full transfer or partial, and how the FMCSA and internal processes are updated; in some cases brokers will continue to work with the new owner if the transition is properly documented and the new entity is correctly substituted in the system.
