2.   What is a Freight Broker (Property Broker)?
 
Property Broker is the correct terminology for many names used in the business to identify what we do.  Such as, Truck Broker, Freight Broker, Freight Agent, Transportation Broker or Agent, and many lesser-known descriptions.  Property Broker Authority allows a third-party to arrange pick up and delivery of a Shipper's product by a Carrier without ever having physical control of the shipment.  These shipments are typically TL, Truckload, but can also be LTL, Partial Load.


3. What are the legal requirements to operate as a Freight Broker?
 
You must apply for your authority from the FMCSA allowing you to act as a freight broker, post a Surety Bond and file your BOC-3. Operating under our umbrella you do not need any of this.

4. Is there a need for more Freight Brokers in the industry?
 
According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census's County Business Patterns - In 1990 there were 64,000 establishments providing agricultural services and 358,000 manufacturing establishments, by the mid 1990s, there were 99,784 establishments providing agricultural services and 386,868 manufacturing establishments in the U.S.  Today, it is estimated there are close to a million. Needless to say, there is a very large market for a broker or an agent, and it is expanding.
It has been recently estimated that freight transportation cost in the US is well over the multi billion dollar range annually and rising.  The amount of this freight being moved by third parties such as Freight Brokers is estimated currently at the 20-30% range and growing.  More Shippers are using Brokers & Forwarders each year since it is usually much less expensive for a Shipper to use an outsource, such as you and I, than to fund and maintain an in-house staff functioning as a Transportation Department.  Employee-related costs are usually the most expensive part of any business operation.  Paying a Broker on a performance-only basis is the trend of the future with many Shippers.
