The shipping industry has millions of moving parts. On any given day, trucks, marine vessels, container cranes, airplanes, and the many people who operate them have to work together to move goods around the US. Freight brokers help cargo owners ship their goods securely and efficiently. Brokers connect shippers with carriers, and then help navigate and coordinate the many moving parts of the supply chain to ensure that cargo gets safely to it's destination. Thay makes freight brokers an essential part of the shipping and freight industry.
FREIGHT BROKERAGE
A freight broker is a transportation intermediary, meaning that the broker owns neither the cargo being shipped nor the vehicles being used to ship it. Instead, a freight broker uses their expertise in logistics to connect shippers who need their cargo shipped with carriers who have the capacity available to ship cargo.
