"This economy has been great for us. We're getting all kinds of calls from bigger companies that are getting rid of their own trucks and are outsourcing to us. We can't stop smiling. Here at Seoma, we've been setting new records every month."  - Lee Michaud, Seoma Transportation

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS:

America's leading freight broker school and freight agent training course

"It was well worth the money and exactly what we needed! Everything was great, really fun, really hands-on and informative. Keith and Lee got us on the phones in 2 days. This gave us the confidence to get started as agents. No one should look at any freight broker school other than ABA. "Kim & Yanina

"It is a great program, absolutely the best experience I've had. The instructors were amazing, they focus on all aspects of the business...and the tips from the instructors were just unbelievable. " V. Vakulskiy

"The American Broker Academy, in every aspect is a world class endeavor. Everyone we dealt with was a professional. We were treated like royalty and the accommodations and meals were memorable. The classroom and equipment is impressive. The instruction is relevant and anything but boring. The written materials are informative and useful for reference in the real world. Our instructors were personable and most importantly taught us from their experience. We were impressed with the quality of the instruction and training and the hands-on approach, which included participating in sales calls, booking and posting loads, confirming load assignments with carriers, and processing the paperwork. The webinars were quite informative and gave us a 'heads up', 'hands on', and 'head start', with useful internet tools like the LoadPilot freight broker business software. " David & Lois George

"I highly recommend the American Broker Academy. Lee and Keith did a superb job explaining all aspects of the business. And with all of their knowledge and training I feel that we are going to save a lot of valuable time by making more of the right decisions while starting our freight broker business. Being taught in an actual freight brokering office was a great experience. We could see just how the day to day operations actually take place. " Rich Marias -  VP of Operations, Advanced Service Solutions, Inc.

"Thank you again for your freight broker training school and support! FMCSA came through with our license. It only took them 2 weeks. So, we are off and running. I made some more sales calls today - three new prospects and two of them promising to do business with us...(since our ABA freight broker training) our sales ratio is running at about 80% of face to face cold calls! We are really excited! " Regards,  David & Lois

Why ABA is the top freight broker training school in the country

The American Broker Academy was developed by Seoma Transportation in response to the misleading, low-quality, old-school, high-priced freight broker schools out there who are leaving students confused and ill-prepared to be successful in this exciting, fast-paced, ever changing field.  Seoma decided to open its doors to the public to attend their "all-star" freight broker school. Seoma's highly successful, all-star load training techniques and freight broker training school methods are now available to you through a seminar, classes, personal training and traveling workshops.

If having your own brokerage isn't your cup of tea, then becoming an agent might be right for you. Most ABA school graduates looking for freight agent jobs are offered positions working for Seoma Transportation. They may then work from home. Providing job opportunities for most graduates shows how confident Seoma is in the performance of ABA students.

ABA students return home highly motivated and ready go as a broker or agent. They're confident in their newly developed skills to become successful in their own freight broker business and hit the ground running. The ABA's freight broker training school also provides its freight agent training for other brokerages. And ABA offers a great course for seasoned professionals looking to pick up some new techniques and methods in all aspects of the broker business. Professionals of all levels will find ABA freight brokering classes and freight broker training beneficial when taking their transportation business to new levels of profitability.

LEARN BY DOING! There are other freight broker schools out there offering several day courses, but none with the quality of training in high-tech, hands-on techniques of ABA. No other school gives you the no-nonsense, real-life experience of ABA's freight broker school. You learn the latest techniques from Mr. Keith Papenthein and Mr. Lee Michaud, two of the country's highest performing, all-star brokers. And no other school stands behind their graduates like the ABA freight brokering school. After graduating, ABA stands with you throughout every phase of your business. The ABA school encourages you to keep in touch so they can help you stay on track and answer any questions you might have along the way.

Past ABA students who would like a refresher course may return and take any of the classes again at no cost. Once in a while we can all use a little extra training to stay at the top of our game. And ABA freight broker training school is in a league by itself.
