Using a freight broker rather than attempting to set-up a shipment themselves aids with the convenience, cost-effectiveness, and expertise in the field by the freight broker. We are geared to a commitment of excellence in customer service, from the initial shipping quote inquiry to the arrival of our customer’s shipment at its final destination. Time – Free-Up Employees to work on other tasks that will gain revenue for their/ your company. Savings – We know the current pricing and can make decisions whether or not to ship with a national LTL Carrier Contract or whether its cheaper to go with a smaller carrier on a Spot Market Rate. This is true for LTL and Truckload Shipments. Sometimes we may even split up a shipment obtaining pricing advantage. Because we have relationships with Carriers we are able to find and negotiate the best pricing. Working with a freight broker will save you time & money in the long run. Follow-Up – It can be tricky managing multiple shipments, even one shipment. Truckload Broker stays on top of where the freight is, ETA, and knowing if there are any problems. For Example: Last week we had a shipment that was insisted it was delivered. The client called stating that the shipment was not delivered or on their dock.

Whether or not the information is posted assume the drivers do not know anything. Once posted expect tons of calls, be ready to write down information to better organize with whom you talking to. Negotiation – know your set price, and be prepared to negotiate. Personally I enjoy this part. See what larger LTL’s prices are, and your set cost. Once you have found a carrier to work with. You must do a background check. Send the Carrier Packet, once received and put into your system. Send the Rate Confirmation. Dispatch Typically loads are ready the day you need to find a carrier. It is very fast paced with tons of carriers coming at you wanting the load. It gets hectic and has to be set-up quickly also diligently making sure you have all your information on the trucking company, contracts in your system, & all the information of the load. Typically the Trucking Companies do not have a website where you can plug in a Pro #, PU, or Reference #. Checking in is critical to make sure everything has been picked up on time, and...
