COURSE DESCRIPTION

With the growing driver shortage across the industry, many trucking companies are moving to open a brokerage arm to meet customer demand.  If your company has done this or has considered it, are you prepared to handle the additional exposures that come along with running this type of operation?

Although there are limited barriers to starting a brokerage, the liabilities associated with actually running one are high.  Brokerage comes with a unique set of exposures – from vetting carriers, to writing and signing contracts, to transferring your risk, there are legal implications with every business decision.

You should have a clear understanding of the risks associated with freight brokerage before going this route.  Join us for this HNI U webinar where Greg Feary from Scopelitus will review the liabilities to be concerned with freight brokerage, as well as the procedures you should be following to select and maintain relationships with carriers in a way that mitigates your exposure.
