During February and March 2008, we invited more than 5,000 brokerage companies to answer 26 questions about their business. 

We asked how they ran their businesses, including company size, staffing practices, types of loads, business operations, revenue and margins, sources of new business, and productivity. 

Almost 600 responded, ranging from one-man brokerages to large firms with 500 or more empoyees. 

Nearly 70% of those responding were from midwestern or southern states.

We anticipate updating this survey later this year and would greatly appreciate your feedback to the results. If you have questions you would like us to ask in subsequent surveys, please let us know.
