For drivers who want financial independence and freedom to provide services, a great option is to become an autonomous cargo carrier.
An autonomous carrier, or freight forwarder, makes deliveries without having an employment relationship with any company, which makes him responsible for his own services.
Despite having greater flexibility and choosing the trips he wants to carry out, the freight forwarder needs to be aware of the costs that are embedded in the contracts and the suitability of the company with whom he is negotiating the freight.
Here, at Fadel Transportes, self-employed drivers enter as partners, being able to work with single trips or having exclusive freight, for that, they receive adequate training before taking the road, ensuring greater safety for the driver and the customer!

How to become a Freight Forwarder?
To become an autonomous haulier, you need to understand entrepreneurship and know how to manage your own business.
In addition, some requirements are necessary to be able to enter this branch and having the National Driver's License (CNH) up to date is an example.
According to Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB), for the driver to drive a truck and become an autonomous haulier, he must have a C or E license.
Category C is a CNH that enables driving single-body trucks, while E is for articulated vehicles that have a mechanical horse.
Before securing your license to drive large vehicles, such as trucks, it is necessary to carry out toxicological tests.
Another requirement to become a self-employed professional is to have your own vehicle. Therefore, the carrier must ensure a qualified truck.
After fulfilling the two aforementioned requirements, the driver must receive, from the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), his National Registry of Road Cargo Carriers (RNTRC).
The RNTRC is mandatory for all Transport and autonomous carriers.
