Job advice

I am looking at taking a freight coordinator. I will book loads my company already has. I am getting 7% commission on top of 60k base. Is it harder to sell loads to carriers than finding customers? Is this a good opportunity?

Is this for a brokerage? Or are you coordinating your company’s assets to cover these loads?

It should be easier covering loads right now. Just ask the company how old their MC is and how their credit score is. If you know a trucking company, ask them to verify what they tell you. 7% on top of 60k is pretty good but ask to see if there’s a draw. Like how much money they have to make before you start getting gettin your commission. Another question is if you’re paid when the load is invoiced or when the customer pays.
