Why a Freight Broker?

A Freight Broker is a logistics specialist that serves as a liaison between a company that needs shipping services and an authorized motor carrier. Logistics is the science of optimizing the distribution of freight and freight-flow from manufacturer to consumer to reduce inventories, cut transportation costs, speed delivery and improve customer service. It is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient flow of goods.

Freight brokers play an important role in the movement of cargo; the broker doesn't function as a manufacturer or a carrier. Instead, a freight broker works to determine the needs of a manufacturer and connects that manufacturer with a carrier willing to transport the items at an acceptable price. Freight broker services are valuable to both manufacturer and motor carriers. Freight brokers help shippers find reliable carriers that might otherwise be difficult to locate. They assist motor carriers in filling their trucks and earning money for transporting a wide variety of items. Freight brokers use their knowledge of the shipping industry and technological resources to help shippers and carriers accomplish their goals.

Intermodal freight transport involves the transportation of freight in an intermodal container or vehicle, using multiple modes of transportation (rail, ship, and truck), without any handling of the freight itself when changing modes. The method reduces cargo handling, and so improves security, may reduce damages and loss, and may allow freight to be transported faster. Reduced costs versus over road trucking is the key benefit for intracontinental use.

Afar Logistics we have experts to handle your intermodal freight from all the shipping companies and rail operators to transport from your location to the ports and rail yards or from port terminals and rail yards to your location. Contact us for the most competitive rate quote.
