In a perfect world there would be no surprises in your work day. Carriers would have their trucks where they need to be when they need to be there, but things aren’t this perfect. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone you can count on when you find yourself in a pinch? Creating time in your day to search for carriers to move last minute freight can be time consuming and costly. Finding a partner that can do all the leg work for you is an excellent choice. A freight broker can save you time and money. With access to thousands of carriers, freight brokers are able to hunt downcompetitive rates in a limited amount of time. The convenience of this service will free up your schedule allowing you time to focus on core competencies.
Freight brokers are utilized by various customers from those with private fleets to mid sized companies. Each company has their own logic for using an outside broker. It may be a last minute crunch or the freight load is not worth the man hours to get a rate. Brokers can often provide a more competitive rate because of existing carrier relationships and they can do it in a fraction of the time.
There is no long-term commitment in the broker/shipper relationship.
Brokers are often willing to work with customers handling one load per month up to 100 loads
per day or more. If you want more of a commitment, freight brokers can also provide
committed volumes and dedicated service. There are no minimum or maximum loads,
which will allow you to utilize this service when you want. The rate agreements are
decided on a load-by-load basis.
