Freight Brokering & Freight Broker Training - the Thomas Twins Are Back Together Again
El Paso, Texas (PRWeb) December 21, 2006 -- The Jim and John Thomas twins have teamed up again to resurrect their prior freight broker business that will be operating out of Las Cruces, New Mexico beginning sometime shortly after the new year.
Jim will head up the brokerage in Las Cruces under the name Atex Logistics, Inc. He will be offering services to shippers with various full truck load cargo - dry van, flatbed and refrigerated units. Jim states that a good number of prior customers have been contacted and are ready to go with Atex Logistics.
A new key strategy for Jim and John will be to use agents to expand further and faster than normal. All agents will come from John's broker agent training which John will continue to operate in El Paso, Texas.
For over three years, John has been training individuals to become either fully self-employed freight brokers or broker agents. Prior to this, he and Jim worked the logistics business in El Paso. John states that the freight broker industry is difficult. But those who work hard, who work smart with the proper training and who are determined will succeed and normally remain in business despite the initial challenges.
For more information on either the brokerage or freight broker training, please contact John at either 1-915-313-3803, by email or you may also visit his website at www.atexfreightbrokertraining.com and download a free eBook titled "Introduction to Freight Brokering".
