I am extremely lucky to
have a friend that is an executive in the freight brokering business. He has
been in the industry for over 10 years and has experience in almost all facets
of the business. I had the opportunity to have multiple sit-downs with him as
we talked about about everything from current markets, past experiences, and
tips for being successful in this business.
What does your position
require you to do?
There are a lot of
responsibilities he has as an executive. He is in charge of his own team and
makes sure everything is running efficiently. His main job is to predict future
markets so he can position his team in a way that makes them even more
successful. This entails looking at the news, looking at market projections,
and reporting his findings to the CEO of the company.
What is the most
important part of the job?
Efficiency. In order to
grow the company, they must be able to handle a large workload. He achieved
this by doing many things. Reevaluating processes that occur throughout the
company and implementing programs or different ways of doing things can really
make the company more efficient.
How do you get ahead in
this industry?
I was told that the most
important things you can do is to work hard and make connections. The more
connections you forge across the industry, more opportunities will become
available to you. The more contacts you have, the more desirable you are to
companies across the board.
