What is the difference between a freight broker and a freight agent?

This is one of the most common questions I get as a freight broker mentor and owner of a successful freight brokerage. I have trained and developed several successful freight broker agents over the years so I certainly have some insight into the pros and cons from the perspective of a brokerage owner, and agent.

The difference between a Freight Broker and Freight agent is that the freight agent works as an extension of a brokerage. While they serve the same function agent’s are hired as 1099 contractors to operate on behalf of an existing entity licensed by the FMCSA. Both Freight Broker’s and agents serve to arrange the transportation of freight between their customers and truck drivers.

Making the choice between being a broker or agent can influence the entire path of your career so It is certainly not one you should take lightly.

In this video we are going to examine the benefits of each arrangement with a goal of helping you decide which of these positions would be best for you as you start or continue your journey in the logistics industry.
