How our brokerage works

Two authorities, one company

A motor carrier owns trucks and drives your freight. A broker owns no trucks and arranges for somebody else to. Most companies are one or the other. We hold both on the same USDOT, which is legal, common enough, and the single most useful thing to understand about working with us. It means we are not forced to pretend a load suits our own equipment just to keep it in house.

Why the role is disclosed every time

The difference matters to you when something goes wrong, because liability sits in a different place depending on which hat we were wearing. A shipper who does not know whether they hired a carrier or a broker cannot file a claim properly. So the role is named on the rate confirmation for every single shipment, and it is decided before dispatch rather than reconstructed afterwards.

What we will not do

We do not take freight from another broker and pass it along, and we do not hand our brokered freight to a second broker. Double brokerage is how loads vanish and how shippers end up paying twice for the same shipment. It is banned in both directions here, and a carrier caught doing it comes off the list permanently.
