But there are times when shippers don\u2019t have easy access to a carrier. That\u2019s where\u00a0brokers\u00a0come in. Serving as middlemen between shippers and carriers, brokers go a long way toward facilitating smooth operations.<\/p>\n<p>Without brokers to handle communication and keep loads moving, the trucking industry might just grind to a halt. Of course, brokers don\u2019t have to take on everything on their own. Turning to\u00a0TMS systems\u00a0and other powerful broker software can change the game for freight brokerages, making connecting shippers and carriers faster and easier than ever.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The basics of being a broker<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Freight brokers are intermediaries between shippers and carriers. While they help connect shippers with loads to qualified carriers, brokers are never actually in possession of the freight themselves. Instead, they facilitate the process and make a profit by charging shippers more than what they pay carriers.<\/p>\n<p>There is a relatively low barrier of entry to\u00a0<a href=\"\/resources\/how-to-become-a-successful-freight-broker\">becoming a freight broker<\/a>, but there are still a few requirements all brokers need to meet. Brokers require:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Operating authority:<\/b>\u00a0All brokers need\u00a0<a href=\"\/solutions\/broker-authority\">authority<\/a>\u00a0from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). There is a non-refundable $300 application processing fee and a processing time of four to six weeks.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>A surety bond or trust:<\/b>\u00a0All freight brokerages need a surety bond or trust worth at least $75,000.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Process agents:<\/b>\u00a0Brokers must also file Form BOC-3, designating their process agents. These process agents can then accept court documents on the broker\u2019s behalf.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Insurance:<\/b>\u00a0Brokers don\u2019t technically need insurance, but it\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry! For example, insurance coverage for errors and omissions, workers\u2019 compensation, or property and general liability is always a great idea. Check out\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dat.com\/blog\/dos-and-donts-of-insurance-for-freight-brokers\">the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of insurance for brokers<\/a>\u00a0to get a better idea of which insurance plans you may want to get to offset risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enter\u00a0<a href=\"\/authority\">DAT Authority<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DAT created DAT Authority to make obtaining your broker authority easier and faster than ever.

Brokers are also responsible for verifying and onboarding carriers, tracking loads, managing documents, invoicing shippers, paying carriers, and more. Clearly, you have a lot to keep track of! That\u2019s where freight broker software and TMS systems come in.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Top freight broker software solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a freight broker looking for a quality TMS solution, any old freight broker software won\u2019t do.

DAT Broker TMS<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"\/broker-tms\">DAT Broker TMS<\/a>\u00a0is a great TMS for startup and growing brokerages, allowing you to grow your business without requiring you to expand your back office. Built specifically for freight brokers, Broker TMS can help streamline all your operations. Whether you need to find loads or carriers, track a shipment, or manage invoices, you can do it all from Broker TMS\u2019 single integrated system.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, DAT Broker TMS can help with finding and selecting carriers, a traditionally time-consuming, yet essential, process. Not only can your system help you gather essential information, but it can also integrate with other tools that make connecting to qualified carriers quick and straightforward. For example, your TMS might locate carriers that have previously moved similar loads, or it may even integrate with a\u00a0<a href=\"\/load-boards\">load board service<\/a>, meaning posting a load could be as easy as hitting a button right within your single Broker TMS platform.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s not all. Once you find the right carrier, you\u2019ll need to ensure they\u2019re qualified. After all, an unqualified carrier is a major liability. Luckily, Broker TMS is compatible with\u00a0<a href=\"\/carrierwatch\">CarrierWatch<\/a>, simplifying the enforcement of carrier qualification procedures. With Broker TMS and CarrierWatch, you can check that a carrier has the right insurance, authority, and safety rating to do the job. You and your shipper clients will be able to work with trustworthy carriers and gain additional peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Broker TMS can also simplify the carrier confirmation process. Not only can this brokerage software help you generate rate confirmations, but it can also send those confirmation to carriers, getting you one step closer to delivery and giving you more time to focus on other essential business tasks, such as finding new carrier or shipper partners and keeping up with current rates.<\/p>\n<p>But Broker TMS\u2019 uses don\u2019t end with finding, qualifying, and confirming carriers. DAT Broker TMS can also help with tracking loads, making a traditionally tedious and time-consuming task a breeze. Broker TMS enables drivers to quickly input their location and can also integrate with existing tracking services, placing it a step above many other TMS systems.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Broker TMS can streamline customer invoicing by integrating with accounting software and interfacing with accounting systems as well as carrier payment systems. It can also help you make better business decisions, as it provides transportation demand forecasts, profitability reports, and historical data, covering everything from lane rates to visibility into the logistics process.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Take your business further with top freight broker software<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Find all the tools you need to optimize operations and succeed with DAT!
