JOB DESCRIPTION
Example of How Freight Brokers Make Money: Let’s walk through an example of the cash flow involved in a single load. A shipper agrees to pay a broker to pick up a load in NY and to deliver it to MN (about 1,200 miles). They agree in writing to pay a flat rate of $2,400. The broker will utilize web-based posting load-boards (Truckstop.com & DAT.com) to look for a truck near the origin, and books a truck with a carrier to haul the load for $1,800. Upon delivery of the cargo the broker will invoice the shipper $2,400 and will receive an invoice from the carrier for $1,800, leaving a profit margin of $600 and the Broker gets a healthy percentage of this profit.
