Learn the essentials of carrier–broker agreements in freight logistics. Discover key clauses, compliance requirements, and common pitfalls new brokers face — plus how professional broker training programs prepare you for success.

Running your own truck means freedom — but it also means responsibility. And one of the biggest challenges every owner-operatorface is finding steady loads — especially without depending on traditional load boards that take time, charge fees, or flood you with low-paying freight.

The world of trucking and logistics doesn’t run on luck — it runs on skill, communication, and planning. A truck dispatcher is at the center of it all — the person connecting drivers, brokers, and shippers to make sure freight moves smoothly and efficiently.

The freight world has changed a lot over the past couple of years. After the 2023–2024 recession, many carriers were forced to park their trucks and close shop. Now, in 2025, the market is starting to stabilize — but survival takes more than just hard work. It takes smart strategy, adaptability, and the right training.
