One of the most popular questions we hear is whether or not training is required in order to become a freight broker.  Until 2011, the answer to that question was, “No, it’s not legally required’.  Then, along came MAP-21.  Today, the short answer to the freight broker training requirement question is, “Not yet.”  However, soon, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will propose new rules for freight brokers regarding the registration requirements.
