Freight brokerage is a service that connects shippers who need to transport goods with carriers that have the capacity to move those goods. Brokers act as intermediaries, helping to negotiate rates and manage logistics, ensuring that shipments are delivered efficiently and on time. They play a crucial role in the supply chain by matching the right carrier with the right shipment. Freight brokers typically have a network of carriers and a deep understanding of the transportation industry. They help shippers save time and money by handling the complexities of shipping logistics, including paperwork and compliance with regulations. This allows businesses to focus on their core operations while ensuring their products reach their destinations safely.
