  • 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.

What A Healthy Freight Profit Margin Looks Like | Final Mile 160
Q: Should I hire a recruiter or use a headhunter for agents?
If you want a few agents, a headhunter or doing it yourself may be better; for a large, long-term agent program, you should have a full-time recruiter internally to run and scale the program.
What A Healthy Freight Profit Margin Looks Like | Final Mile 160
Q: What is a healthy profit margin in today's market?
The hosts explain that a healthy margin is more about net profitability after expenses, suggesting a typical gross margin around 15% but noting the net after expenses typically falls to roughly 3.5% to 5%, with sustainable long-term margins likely in double digits for true profitability.
How To Cover Hot Loads Fast | Final Mile 153
Q: Should I post hot loads on load boards or start making outbound calls to carriers?
Use a combination of both: post the load to attract any available trucks quickly, while also calling carriers you know and those in the lane to verify availability and match service levels, since newer brokers may rely more on boards but need direct outreach to secure real-time capacity.
Fixing Bad Carrier Reports | Final Mile 155
Q: what's the right follow up cadence for a prospect before I cut them from my pipeline?
Cadences should be tailored but generally involve persistent outreach with varied contact methods and times; plan a multi-week cycle, re-evaluate prospects by seasonality and potential value, and adapt the cadence based on responses and opportunity.
Fixing Bad Carrier Reports | Final Mile 155
Q: as a carrier, how should I deal with a false report from a broker against my company on a carrier vetting platform?
The hosts suggest that while you may not be able to remove the false report, you should reply and address the issue directly, clarify what happened, and show accountability; focusing on resolving the underlying problem can be more valuable than removing the post.
