You may be wondering how having a well-formulated contract between you and your brokerage can benefit your business. Perhaps you’re running into issues reaching mutually beneficial terms and are looking for a way to truly understand these documents you’re signing.

So, you’re looking to move some freight over the weekend. Not only that but your products don't need to go that far. Seems like it should be pretty simple and at the very least inexpensive, right?
Sometimes, it can feel like things are only getting more expensive. Especially when every freight rate you’re given seems steeper than the next. Just like other logistics professionals, using your shipping dollars correctly is what you do. It’s why you’re good at your job.
