I had AI create a podcast based on a sales guide I have been using for years. Feel free to take a listen

When people ask me “How do you get your Freight?” My answer is: I have to work at it. I’ve built up my business by attending many different conferences over the years. Conferences have gotten expensive so I understand why small owner operators don’t attend. One way to avoid the cost is to be a speaker at these shows (Hint). Freight Brokers get freight because they take the time and spend the money to be in front of the people who ship freight. I attend Conferences, Expos and workshops every year to keep up on the pulse of the market and talk to shippers who have freight to deliver. Most carriers/owner operators miss out on these opportunities because of the expense and time they take. This type of Networking has been key to growing my carrier company. I love it when a stranger walks up to me at one of these events and says “Hey, aren’t you PapaFreight?” Yes I am. Everyone have a Freight Day.

I post a lot of content primarily photos of work we do on social media. Lately I have increasingly seen images of our warehouses, crating, equipment being used by others. Primarily foreigners trying to get business as brokers or dispatchers etc. This is a post by a dispatcher that I don’t know, using a picture that was taken by me in my warehouse. If they are willing to advertise stealing other people’s photos. I don’t think they will have a problem with stealing your money. #papafreight

The cost of doing business in freight as a small freight broker or small carrier just went up thanks to the Montgomery vs CH Robinson ruling by SCOTUS today. Here come insurers needing more money on their policies because risk and liability on the broker side just went up. The broker then in turn will require more coverage from the carriers they use. Anybody realize that the standard 1M GL is probably going to be a thing of the past? #papafreight
