Best Answer

A freight broker is essentially an individual or a company that arranges and coordinates shipping services between businesses and freight carriers. Freight brokerage companies work with hundreds of freight carriers to setup the proper shipping methods and transportation services for individuals or businesses. Using a freight broker usually saves money and streamlines the shipping process.
