Why should someone use a freight broker or 3PL? What even is a freight broker or 3PL? Those are common questions that people looking to ship freight for the first time have and we want to be that resource you can turn to for help as your business grows.
3PL stands for third-party logistics. Trucking and freight transportation is a huge industry that is impossible for any one person to know everything about, especially someone who is trying to run their own business. At C2 Freight Resources, Inc we have teams dedicated to each and every aspect of truck transportation... everything from finding and vetting the perfect carrier for your load to the billing and paperwork after your load has been successfully delivered. Freight brokers are the bridge between companies who need freight shipped and the thousands of truck drivers who are looking to haul the freight.
Make sure you are looking at the right C2 Freight Resources Inc from Houston, AL under MC#341449 (there are some imposters who try to use our good name and we can't blame them... "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" as it has been said.)
Many companies have their own core carriers that they can call on. You may have your own core carriers and think, "I can handle my own freight logistics." That is awesome! So, why would you ever need a broker?
Do you have overflow that your carriers just can't get to when you need it?
That is a great time to bring in a broker. We have thousands of carriers at-the-ready, at any time, when your core just can't meet the demands of business.
C2 can provide as much or as little information as you want. Some companies want their finger on the pulse of each load and want every detail reported to them. C2 can do that! Other companies want to hand over their loads and not worry about them again, until they are delivered. C2 can do that as well!
Have you ever had your Asset Based trucking company have truck issues and give a load back? You're stuck! When you use a freight broker, we can simply get another truck from our over 30,000 carrier database that we have accumulated in our 20+ years in trucking. We have the trucks at our finger tips and can be the resource you need to handle any situation, so you don't have to worry about it.
You will have a coordinator assigned to you personally, and your company, who will learn the ins-and-outs of how you like to run business, so we can customize the process to your preferences. When you get in a situation that makes you say, "I need help! Who can I call?", C2 Freight and your personal coordinator should be who pops into your mind!
Extra Extra
C2 offers additional insurance coverage that goes above and beyond that of your company and the carrier hauling the load, so you can rest assured that your freight is covered.
C2's accounting
department insures that all the billing paperwork is in order, and that the
carrier who hauled your freight is paid in a timely manner, so you don’t have
to worry about it. You can focus on running your business and C2 will handle
the rest.
We think of our customers more as partners-in-business rather than "clients".
