Freight Agent, Broker and Handler Career Opportunities
Freight brokers can work either independently or for a larger freight brokerage company and both brokers and freight agents generally serve as a liaison between a company requiring transportation or delivery of freight and a third party with the means to deliver that freight. Transportation methods are variable, of course, and may include shipping, transport by train or long-haul truck or air freight delivery. A freight broker is required to obtain a license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) as well as insurance to protect clients from loss. Most freight brokers are also bonded and
freight agent jobs are often available with larger freight brokerage companies. Freight brokers most often begin their careers in a related field, either as a freight forwarder, who will take possession of freight and then arrange for shipments of portions of the whole, or as an associate with a shipping or transportation company. Typical
responsibilities of a freight agent or freight broker will include elements of sales, client service, scheduling of freight delivery and working with carriers to arrange for Truckload (TL) deliveries of freight and Less than Truckload (LTL) deliveries, the latter of which typically includes the shipment of freight weighing under 15,000 lbs.
