In this episode of The Freight Sales Content Podcast, we sit down with Chris Hinz to talk about what it takes to start a freight brokerage in 2025 — a time when many others are exiting the market.
While the industry has faced one of the most challenging stretches in recent history, Chris sees opportunity where others see obstacles. With years of experience working for some of the top names in brokerage, he’s decided that now is the time to build something of his own.
We cover why he’s choosing to start a brokerage now, what it’s like launching an MC from scratch versus buying one, and how raising money plays into the process. Chris also shares his revenue goals, shipper sales strategy, and the mindset required to grow in a tough freight environment.
For anyone interested in what it really takes to launch and scale a brokerage today, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insights from someone who’s done it before.
