Freight Brokers play a key role in the success of any business that involves shipping products by matching clients to reputable carriers and arranging the services.
Was macht ein Freight Broker?
A Freight Broker helps ensure the success of logistics services and freight brokerage companies by providing exceptional service to customers. After creating an initial client profile, a Broker reviews the carriers that are a good match for their needs and solicits quotes from them. The Broker then shares these carrier quotes and provides advice to help clients make an informed choice. Once the client chooses a carrier, the Freight Broker books the shipment and then acts as a go-between to arrange the pickup. The Broker continues to track the shipment and helps facilitate the drop-off at the intended destination.
