What is a Freight Broker Agent?
A Freight Broker Agent is an independent agent who works with a licensed Freight Broker to serve as a Freight Intermediary in the Third Party Logistics, 3PL industry. Agents work with shippers and carriers to move goods and produce from the dock or point of production to the market by finding the necessary transportation resource. Agents have or develop customers who have shipment requirements, (known as shippers), and need on demand access to carriers but do not want to maintain trucks, (carrier resources), or logistics departments.
