What to look for in a freight Brokerage Company

What to look for in a freight brokerage company?

Salem Global Logistics understands, there is not a one size fits all answer to this question. We fully believe that transparency gives our customers data to assist in their journey in finding the best possible fit for their business requirements.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, as of June 2022, the number of for-hire carriers on file with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration totaled 1,102,799, private carriers totaled 718,594, there were 153,191 carriers identified as both for-hire and private carriers and other* interstate motor carriers totaled 37,718. Yes, there are a lot of truckload carriers out there. And, to be honest, not all of them are trustworthy and service oriented. Plus, not all are operating under the type of insurance Salem Global Logistics require.

When searching for the “right” non-asset logistics service provider (LSP) among the large list of freight brokers is where one discovers they are a tiny fish in an ocean, so it is key to do your homework and include other LSP’s in your search to ensure you find the best fit for your company.

Freight Brokers can come in various forms. Some are independent and operating from their living room or basement. Some are agents working on commission through a larger brokerage firm.

Be cautious about the freight brokerage company you chose to do business with.

Salem Global Logistics has a team of Logistics Coordinators that have your best interest in mind. You will speak with in-office representatives that take the time to make sure your freight gets from point A to Point B.
