What is the first step you think I should do in order to start like a freight Agent? I have a little more than a year experience in the logistic/transportation business. Is a good business I mean can you make a live out of it?

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Start Your Own Freight Brokerage Business by Entrepreneur Press
* A Practical Guide to Transportation and Logistics by Michael B. Stroh
I also posted links to some free articles in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
