BROKER! For many carriers and drivers, that word is synonymous with many expletives. On the other hand, it's a role that many carriers cannot do without. For a shipper, it's a solution to problems that most small carriers can't provide. What does a freight broker really do? How does a freight broker fit into the overall business transaction of logistics? Understanding the bigger picture can help us as carriers solve the problems of our customers. On this show, we will explore the freight broker business model. We'll discuss not just how a freight brokerage operates, but even what it takes to become a broker yourself!
