About Freight Brokerage
A freight broker is any company or an individual serving as an intermediate between carriers and shippers. The shippers provide freight for transportation while carriers have enough capacity to move the freight. Thus, freight brokers aid both carriers as well as shippers:
• Shippers: Freight brokers help shippers find trustworthy carriers that are usually
difficult to locate.
• Carriers: Freight brokers assist carriers in filling their truckload and earning money
for the transportation.
Freight brokers are primarily categorized into two types: asset-based freight brokers and non-asset based freight brokers.
