You’re buried in paperwork and your carrier didn’t follow through on the quoted price for a shipment. What do you do?
Have you thought about using a freight broker?
Today, your committed McAllen logistics experts at Lean Cargo Logistics will list the 5 benefits of using a freight broker.
What Is a Freight Broker?
A freight broker is essentially your shipping manager. The purpose of their job is to make sure that your product gets from the shipper to the receiver using a network of carriers. In order to move your product safely and efficiently, they’ll use different forms of transportation such as boats, trains, trucks, and planes.
Why People Choose to Use a Freight Broker
Using a freight broker saves you valuable time and energy so that you can focus on other aspects of your business. Because they handle all the details, including staying within the set budget and timeframe, you have less stress and will know that your broker will find the best shipping solutions for you.
The Benefits To Consider
1.They Create Valuable Relationships With Your Carriers
Many brokers have established a network of carriers through their years of working in this field. Because of these valuable relationships, your broker is likely to get you the best pricing, help with shipping in a small time window, and help to change the capacity of a shipment if needed.
2.They Are Up to Date on the Latest Technology
Due to the constant communication that a freight broker has to have with shippers and carriers, they are up to date on all the latest tracking and tracing technology. This will give you an immediate update on all your shipments instead of calling and searching all over the internet for it.
3.They Are Able To Save You and Your Business Money
Brokers have access to a variety of carriers, giving them the ability to get you the lowest price with the best mode of transportation for your shipment. How do they do this?
With the extensive options they have, they are able to pass up on an offer if it does not suit you or your business. A good broker will work to get you the best price and transportation without sacrificing quality of service.
4.They Handle Any Issues That May Come To Light
What many people don’t know is that freight brokers are equipped to handle the legal side of transportation. They will handle claims, issues with the inventory, contracts, and other documents that may arise. This is another example of how a broker can handle the details of the business while you put your focus elsewhere.
5.They Are Great With Your Customers
A good broker will see your customers as the priority of your business. They are able to handle the carriers, along with any questions or concerns your customers may have. Your freight broker can be your greatest asset when it comes to customer service!
