To fully understand the benefits and the use of freight broker services, it’s important to understand how they work.
What does a freight broker do?

Documents preparation
It is an initial stage of the transportation process. At this stage, the broker will ask you to provide you with all the necessary information about your load, including contact information, addresses, freight weight, type, dimensions, etc. Also, the broker will ask you to mention handling conditions, commodity type, and other important data (e.g. to prepare the documentation required for the transport of dangerous and oversized goods).
Loading
Freight loading is one of the main stages in the transportation process, and brokers play a huge role in it. Freight brokers connect with the drivers to ensure they arrived on time, and manage the process of safe cargo loading. Then, the carrier signs a bill of lading and becomes responsible for your freight.
Transit
While your freight is in transit, a freight broker tracks freight and manages it. We have complete transparency into the shipping process and get regular updates. With freight brokers and a third-party logistics company, shippers stay up to date with their freight status and can be sure everything goes smoothly.
Unloading
During the unloading process, the consignee signs the bill of lading. Once the carrier confirms successful unloading and completes the necessary paperwork, the broker gets the paperwork and invoices to the shipper.
Billing
The final stage of the freight shipping process is billing when the freight broker issues an invoice to the shipper and the shipper pays the bill.
