What Is The Advantage of Using A Freight Broker?

What is the advantage of using a freight broker or 3PL?


First, what is a freight broker? 

You may have heard the term "freight broker" or "3PL" used, but are not 100% sure what it means or if it is something your business could even be utilizing. 

In short, a freight broker (or third-party logistics provider aka 3PL) is a company who for a small fee can be the match-maker between you (the shipper) and a trucking company (the carrier) who is looking to haul a load.

We can tell you in one word what the main advantage of a freight broker is and that is efficiency. If you want to streamline your supply chain, then a freight broker is the way to go! 


Imagine all the time you spend looking for a carrier, vetting that carrier (checking for proper license, operating authority, insurance, safety reports, reviews, etc), then once you find them you have to dispatch, track, make sure the load (or multiple loads) are picked up and delivered on time, report any issues or traffic delays to your receiver, communicate all of the information involved (pickup numbers, phone numbers, addresses, etc), and then once the load is finally delivered, you still have to handle the billing, which is an entire additional process. 


When you call C2 Freight Resources, Inc., then you are essentially handing over all that time consuming responsibility to us, so you can do the one thousand other things you need to manage. We have a team of people who are dedicated to each step of the transportation process, to ensure the entire load delivery is handled seamlessly.

    The second method which a broker use for the loads is related to referrals. They are the best compliment in almost any business. This method is not limited to the transportation business. It only happens when a freight brokerage offers excellent services to the shippers. Then, they can reach out and ask for their referrals. They can only request it if they are looking for loads. The company with which they connect must share contact with another company. In this way, they are most likely to listen to the broker’s offers. As a result, they get confirmation from within their industry about their invaluable services.
