(WARRENVILLE, IL, November 1, 2010) -– Byrne Transportation Services, LLC, a family-owned truck transportation broker, has begun a nation-wide campaign looking for qualified people to be independent agents for the company.
"The person does not need experience in the trucking industry, though, of course, that will be an advantage" says John Byrne, vice president and chief operating officer. "Ideally, the person will have a phone, a computer, and the drive to begin developing contacts with friends and clients who have occasional or steady need for the movement of goods from one place to another."
Byrne says the net profit from the sale will be shared equally by the agent and Byrne Transportation Services. Byrne will provide the software programs and counseling a person will need while starting the business, likely based in someone's home anywhere in the country.
"A recruiter who knows the company told us that someone enjoying modest success in this work will have an annual income of $75,000," Byrne says.
While Byrne Transportation is ready and willing to assist with all shipment sizes, one advantage for an agent for Byrne is the company's expertise with moving oversized, unusual items. "We call such moves 'big and ugly'; something such as a big piece of manufacturing equipment or, in one case, the transfer of a whole chemical plant from Canada to Mississippi. That's our specialty."
Interested parties who think they may qualify can contact John Byrne at (630) 530-6850/x 130 or by e-mail john@byrnetrans.com. The firm's website is www.byrnetrans.com
According to the most recent statistics provided by American Trucking Associations, in 2008, the trucking industry moved 10.2 billion tons of freight, or 68.8 percent of the total U.S. freight tonnage. That same year, the trucking industry posted earnings of $660.3 billion, representing 83.1 percent of the nation's freight bill. The industry employs 3.4 million truck drivers in the United States, and a total employment of 7.3 million, or one of every 19 people working in the U.S.
As an independent non-asset owning freight brokerage, Byrne Transportation provides customers with a range of transportation choices vetted by experience and solid relationships with some of the country's largest supply chain and freight customers and service providers. Byrne is: General Services Administration (GSA) approved; Veteran's Administration (VA) approved; Department of Defense (DOD) approved; and Global Transportation Network (GTN) qualified under the Surface Distribution and Deployment Center (SDDC) program).
