Freight brokers and agents arrange transportation for companies that have large amounts of cargo. Many of the freight brokers and agents work with independent contractors to make sure cargo gets to its intended location as quickly as possible. Other companies maintain a fleet of career truckers that are licensed and insured to operate large vehicles. The online directory will give you the names and phone numbers of many freight brokers and agents. Having this information helps you talk to several businesses, so you can decide which one is best for your company’s cargo. When you contact the companies, you should ask them what kinds of on-the-job training they offer their workers. Truckers often require class C licenses that show they have the training to operate large vehicles. Companies that offer this training help ensure that their clients get the best shipping services. You should also ask the companies how long they have worked in the shipping industry. Those with several years of experience should have larger networks that make it possible for them to use land, sea, and air transportation to deliver your cargo. Make sure that all of the employees and independent contractors working for the brokers are properly insured to protect you from financial liability if there is an accident that damages the cargo in their containers. You will also want to compare the prices of the brokers. Ask them about their commission and have them give you a written price quote to help you choose an affordable option.
