Yes—because we train you to do the real work that shippers and carriers value. You will learn how to quote intermodal drayage accurately, secure capacity fast, manage free days and Last Free Day, prevent demurrage and per diem, and handle gate transactions, peel pile, street turns, and dual moves. We show you how to prospect importers, IMCs, freight forwarders, and NVOCCs, and how to build a dependable carrier base of owner operators. Many graduates begin brokering loads as soon as their authority is active, using our step-by-step playbooks for onboarding carriers, issuing rate confirmations, and billing correctly. We do not sell hype—just live, hands-on processes you can apply immediately in the intermodal drayage niche.

If you plan to broker intermodal drayage, the ROI comes from avoiding costly mistakes and moving freight correctly the first time. One mismanaged container can trigger storage, flip, and chassis charges that outweigh tuition. We teach you how to protect margins, capture accessorials properly, and prevent avoidable fees with accurate track-and-trace and priority returns by free days. You will leave with quoting templates, dispatch workflows, and billing checklists so revenue flows and cash doesn’t leak. Because our training is live and practical, you can begin applying what you learn immediately—often while your authority is being approved—so you build momentum faster and convert knowledge into booked loads sooner.

Yes. Classes are online and live Monday through Friday, each day focused on a different part of intermodal drayage—licensing, dispatch, CSR work, operations, accounting, and brokering. You can join from anywhere with an internet connection. Because topics recur, you can catch a session you miss the next time it is taught and still progress through the full curriculum. Every session is hands-on with Q and A, and you will receive practical frameworks and checklists you can use between classes. If your schedule changes, simply attend the next live session for that topic. The goal is mastery through consistent, bite-sized, real-world practice.

Absolutely. We start from zero and take you through everything a new intermodal drayage broker needs. You will learn the language of the ports and rails, how to read work orders and bills of lading, how to ingate and outgate, how to calculate free time, and how to dispatch efficiently. We break down TMS basics, eModal registrations, chassis provider setup for DCLI and TRAC, and driver onboarding. Then we level you up to quoting, negotiation, accounting and invoicing, and operations management. No CDL or prior logistics role is required—just commitment. By the end, you will have the confidence and workflows to run day-to-day brokerage tasks like a pro.

You are trained live by a real licensed freight broker with over 20 years of driving and brokerage experience. There are no ebooks or passive videos. We work in the actual intermodal environment—ports and rail ramps from Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX, NS Norfolk, and Canadian National. You will practice real tasks: creating rate confirmations, coordinating dual transactions, scheduling port appointments, handling no-bill situations at the rail, and resolving chassis rejections. We show you the documents, portals, and procedures used daily in the field. Join an info session, ask detailed questions, and see how our live, instructor-led format delivers practical, verifiable skills—not theory.

Yes. We walk you step-by-step through obtaining your Federal Broker Authority and completing MC, DOT, and UCR filings, plus filing your BOC-3 and choosing between a BMC-84 or BMC-85. We also cover UIIA equipment providers’ insurance requirements so you know exactly what coverage shippers, rails, and ports expect. You will leave with a clear compliance checklist and a go-live plan so you can begin brokering loads as soon as your authority is active. Our approach is practical: you learn what each filing does, how it connects to carrier onboarding and billing, and how to avoid delays that slow down your first revenue.

Yes. Brokerage is coordination, compliance, and communication—not driving. You can run an intermodal drayage brokerage from anywhere. We teach you how to use TMS tools and portals like eModal, register trucks and drivers, request appointments, coordinate flips, and manage peel pile and free-flow remotely. You will learn to build a local carrier base in the markets you target, then manage track-and-trace, free day priorities, and returns without being on-site. Many brokers operate successfully across multiple regions by leveraging time zones and carrier relationships. We show you exactly how to structure your day and your processes to make remote drayage work.
