“Slow feet, don’t eat!” On today’s show we travel to H-Town and kick it with the self-made Freight Broker entrepreneur Nikisha Reagan, but y'all can call her Niki. Niki’s story is far from typical as she went to prison charged as an adult at 15 years old. Niki would be released 4 years later to re-start her life and her education. First, Niki would pursue a career in the medical field, but things did not go as planned. After some disappointments, she would end up finding the trucking industry by way of a $5,000 freight brokerage training course, which unfortunately left Niki with a lack of knowledge, resources and questions . With no experience, but a ton of hustle and determination, Niki ventured out on her own and started her company, NR Swanks freight brokerage. Amazingly, Niki was able to reach 6 figures in her first 6 months of business and to date she has built relationships with over 300+ carriers. In addition, Niki also has began training others on the tactics and strategies she used to grow and sustain her freight brokerage business .
