Freight brokers meet with shippers to determine their needs, select carriers that can perform the services requested, negotiate rates, add a mark-up and then sell these services to their clients. Freight services are available from one to thousands of freight brokers, large, and small, that provide freight services throughout North America.

  • @hagi6869 you get paid for the work you do, nothing more nothing less. if you are willing to work at it then yes, if you sit back and just wait for your phone to ring then probably not

  • @truckerjakc7 all you drivers are b.s. expecting us to pay your fuel for the load, our job is toput freight on trailers, not pay your gas bill, you have a fucking job, pay your own gas, im not making you pay for my freight broker software, or my load boards. i pay them because that is what i need to do to have a job. you need to pay your gas if an o/o or your company if a company driver. i shouldnt have to pay 3500 bucks on a 1000 mile lane who is robbing who?

  • you and ALL BROKERs ARE ALL BSSSSSSSS ALL YOU guys do is sit at home and rob us driversss.. AND ALL YOU DRIVERS TAKING THESE LOADS FOR CHEAP IS FUCKING US OVER

  • I disagree with you completely. the purpose of the freight broker is NOT to get the shipper the lowest price possible. that's exactly why the market has gone to shit in the last 15 yrs. the freight brokers purpose should be to get the shipper the BEST SERVICE possible considering his needs in terms of shipping. there are plenty of carriers out there that offer great service, unfortunately broker don't use them. they'd rather go to the cheap carrier. I'm so glad I'm out of the transport business!

  • it's bill of LADING.

  • Thank you very much, it's very informative.

  • DO FREIGHT AGENTS MAKE GOOD NONEY
