It has very good material and covers on all topics needed to understand brokerage but needs to fix the final quiz, I had to take it twice and select the wrong answer in several occasions to get it correct. (notes from the course as reference)

I liked it but way too many typos. Especially the number of classes (18) in the final test, makes an OCD person like myself angry that I can’t get a 100% that I earned from ALL the hard work and effort… & money (fair price though). You should take the time to correct and update. 1 star for typos, 1 star for the test error :( Thank you for the information overall. I APPRECIATE YOU!!!

I would have enjoyed this more if you had a white board actually writing things out while you talk as well as hearing the lecture being read while I read it. Also #23 is coming up wrong for 18 freight classes, it came up right when I chose 500. Thats not correct.

The question on how many freight classifications is wrong. Other than that, I've learned a lot with this course. I came into it with basic knowledge due to working with a trucking company, but we are excited to add a brokerage to our company with the knowledge I learned here. Thank you!

This is a very good match for me. I came into this not knowing much. Now every where I go I am paying attention to freight. At gas station, etc. I am really excited but also nervous about starting a freight broker company. I will continue to take notes and learn. This is laying the foundation but the experience will get me to the next level. this course is highly recommended

everything is well explained it lets you take notes and you can complete the course at your own peace making it easy to study while having a job or attending college or university

I was expecting the content to be a little more elaborative, so far the videos are merely like reading right off the written material. The course could've had much more details, esp. for the real world applications. This is a good course if someone doesn't want to read the book and run though the text with videos.

I learned a lot about the basics becoming and practicing as a Freight Broker. The program kept a Swift Pace and explained process of the job and what was expected a Freight Broker. I would have like some hands on practice of classifying freight and completing the appropriate paperwork. It would have been great to see some of organizational methods to stay on top of paperwork

Poorly written, very little information and what information there is, is recycled over and over. The author seems very knowledgeable, but needs to learn some writing skills or have someone look over his work. If nothing else he should learn that "your" is not the contraction of "you are". In addition there is a video (I think) early on in the course that I could never find. I saw that others couldn't find it either. I have taken one other course on Udemy and it was much more informative and well thought out. I'm leaving this review mid-course. I will update if it improves or worsens.
