Good afternoon EVERYONE! I have a question and am hoping I can get a bit of advice as I am a bit new to the industry. I am an active freight broker, and I randomly received an email from another active broker. Small company asking if I would be willing to co-broker for/with them as an independent contractor. I spoke to the fellow and he sounded like a nice guy but in the day we live in I am always skeptical and trust NO ONE. Sooo, he did send me over his blank co- brokering agreement, SAFER snapshot, and his surety bond. Then he requested I send him my W9, surety bond, and for me to send back signed agreement. What I am wondering is has anyone had experience co-brokering? How do I protect myself from being scammed? I have no big red flags that makes me feel like I am getting scammed I am just always skeptical and feel like there is way to stay protected somehow. Should I make up my own contractual agreement to have him sign? What would you do?
