| Travel and Transport (Transportation brokers) Overview | |
| A Transportation broker falls into the category of transportation intermediary, which is a company that is neither a shipper nor an asset-owning carrier, but plays a role in the movement of cargo. Transportation intermediaries leverage their knowledge, investment in technology and people resources to help both the shipper and carrier succeed. Brokers provide an important and valuable service to both motor carriers and shippers. They help carriers fill the trucks and earn a commission for their efforts. They help shippers find reliable motor carriers that they (the shippers) might not have otherwise known about. In fact, some companies use brokers as their traffic department, allowing the broker to coordinate all their shipping needs. |
