I went to another property broker training course before attending Broker Office Training in Youngtown, AZ. I will describe the first school and then contrast it with David Dwinell's Broker Office Training. Both courses were similar in the end price.
On arrival at the other broker school we were provided a book with an outline of the course to be covered. For 2.5 days we were lectured on the highlights of brokering and one half day of promoting some of the industries computer programs and various types of businesses that could be of use to us. We spent the fourth day practicing some of the computer programs and reviewing for the final test. On the fifth day we spent three hours on the final and then were dismissed. During the five days we were taught several things that if done, would be considered as being in control of the carrier/truck. These acts would subject the broker/agent to liability where none should have been, which is clearly against FMCSA regulations.
When you register to attend Broker Office Training, David sends you two text books (about 20+ hours of reading) to study before arriving at the class. This enables you to be ready to expand on the vast amount of knowledge David shares with the class. In this training, many more subjects are covered in detail such as: Marketing, record keeping, business planning, development of a rate matrix, negotiations, daily operations and how to run your business correctly without creating liability for yourself where none should have existed.
If you want to be a successful property broker or agent, then I recommend David Dwinell's Broker Office Training in Youngtown, AZ.
