Brokers serve as essential intermediaries, connecting shippers to carriers throughout the freight journey.

Brokers serve as an intermediary between shippers and carriers within the freight journey. Brokers connect shippers to the most suitable carriers (and price points) for their loads, dispatch and track loads, handle necessary transportation documents, generate invoices, and more. Before, during, and after load pickup, logistics brokers will also maintain communication with the carrier.
Logistics brokers, as intermediaries, facilitate communication between shippers and carriers, ensuring safe, timely and seamless shipment. Brokerage involves coordination, scheduling and handling documents, payments, and logistical issues. They ensure smooth transport process and minimize delays.
The amount logistics brokers charge shippers is based on the gross revenue of a load. The gross revenue of a given load varies based on the value of freight, transportation costs, and other market conditions. Since brokers are connecting shippers to carriers and have to pay carriers too, brokers typically take home the gross margin of a load. The gross margin of a load equates to the price a broker charges to the shipper, minus the price the broker will pay to a carrier to take on the load.
Shippers often use load boards to find logistics brokers. Load boards offer a safe, convenient, and efficient means for shippers to build partnerships with new brokers and carriers alike. Leading shippers turn to the DAT load board to find the best logistics brokers. After all, the DAT load board provides the largest database of loads and freight carriers.
Shippers expanding their operations turn to logistics brokers to unearth new carriers who can handle their loads and keep their businesses humming as booming freight volumes continue to strain carrier capacity.
The best logistics brokers save shippers time and money, negotiating an optimal price with the carrier, tracking loads, and managing communications throughout the entire load journey between all parties involved. Brokers also boost logistical efficiency by organizing invoices and all transportation-related documents.
