A freight broker is a licensed intermediary that connects shippers who need to transport goods with carriers who have available capacity, without owning transportation equipment. They negotiate rates, coordinate shipments, and help ensure smooth logistics operations.
A manufacturer needs to move pallets of electronics from Los Angeles to New York but doesn't have direct carrier relationships. A freight broker finds a reliable trucking company, negotiates the rate, and arranges pickup and delivery on the shipper's behalf.

A freight broker arranges transportation within domestic markets without physically handling goods, while a freight forwarder often manages international shipments, customs, and physical storage.
No, freight brokers do not own trucks, trailers, or warehouses. They connect shippers with carriers that own the assets.
While freight brokers charge a fee, they often save businesses money by leveraging carrier networks, negotiating better rates, and optimizing shipments more efficiently.
