Freight Broker | Shipping Term Explained | Logistics Glossary
GLOSSARY
Freight broker
A freight broker is an individual or organisation acting as an intermediary between shippers and service providers, facilitating communications between the parties.
When should I use a freight broker?
The advantage of hiring a freight broker is having a single contact person at every moment to optimise price negotiations, planning routes and all the phases.
Unlike a freight forwarder, a freight broker does not take physical ownership of the goods during transport.
