Freight forwarding companies will combine shipments for less-than-load runs

Freight Forwarders

A freight forwarder is an individual or company, which acts as an agent on behalf of a shipper. Freight forwarders, particularly those working with small or medium-sized companies, often combine shipments for less-than-load runs. Shippers who need dedicated lanes because they have regular shipments to specific locations may also use freight forwarders.

Freight brokers work with freight forwarders to combine loads and work to reduce empty backhauls they also reduce the amount of time and money shippers spend on transporting goods.

For small business owners freight forwarders are ideal, they use shippers who run dedicated lanes, and combine small shipments, thus proving to be an efficient and cost-effective way to transport products.
