    About author
    Bruce Stimson started his factoring career in 2001, when he founded QLFS, which eventually became the Invoice Trucking Group. Mr. Stimson led the firm through its initial growth and established it as a leading provider to startups and small companies in the New England region.

    After QLFS, Mr. Stimson launched Trucking Capital LLC to provide services in the USA, Canada and Australia. Under his leadership, Trucking Capital LLC has expanded to offer a number of business finance products and can help companies in most industries.

    Trucking Capital LLC is one of the few companies that offers micro-factoring (also called small-ticket factoring), which helps early-stage companies with limited revenues. Small business factoring has been ignored by larger factoring firms and banks, establishing Mr. Terry as a pioneer in this market.

    Before starting his career in finance, Mr. Stimson held several management positions in operations and marketing in the telecommunications industry for eight years. He earned a Master’s Degree in Finance with a concentration in banking.

    Chapter 1: Define the role of the Broker and Agent

    Are you stuck in a dead end job and looking for a way out? Perhaps you have no job at all? Or maybe owning your own company is what you are most passionate about?

    Well, you have come to the right place. While the freight and transportation business may not be for everyone, there’s the possibility that this is the gold mine and goal mind you have been searching for.

    Entrepreneur Magazine has rated the freight brokerage business as one of the top home-based businesses to own. A recent Wall Street Journal article cited freight brokering and logistics as the largest growing sector of the transportation industry. Let me tell you more about the ever growing industry of freight brokerage company and process agent career.
