This was a really pleasant read!
I love how detailed this book is. It was like receiving advice from a big sister or friend. I even noticed a myriad of handy resources like spreadsheets, websites, lists of key players, and various references to other sources of information. Not only had I never known anything about the overhead or customer relationship aspects of the freight business, but I also had never really come to appreciate how much goes into different shipments. Julia Albright did a wonderful job is going through all the tips one would need to know if s/he had never before entered this sector of the market industry. At some of the moments where I thought the author would continue providing grave and serious advice sometimes she sprinkled her own humor in and made me laugh. Even through the laughing I learned a lot. You can tell that Ms. Albright enjoyed writing this book, and I have enjoyed reading it. Thank you for this! As someone who is really interested in business, this has opened my eyes to many things I probably would have overlooked in trying to build one and ensure it were a success. Great book!

Great read
Yes like all books there are grammatical errors because no book is written perfectly. But what I like about this book is that Miss Albright makes it simple and easy to understand. This was my third book on the transportation and Logistics industry. And I have also tried some online courses. but after reading this book I have requested a refund for one of my courses that cost a couple hundred dollars. Many of the secrets to success have been written in place in manuscript form and as it relates to the freight brokerage industry as a beginner, this book definitely hits the mark in checks all boxes for me as a beginner seeking knowledge and understanding about this diversified industry.

Great Book
Great book and easy read. I'm working to get my foot in the door as a broker/agent after working for 14+ years handling imports/exports for a major U.S. manufacturer and importer. I found this book to be very informative and encouraging. I see myself using this book as a reference.
