Compass Cargo: Why use a broker?

Transportation brokers improve the efficiency of the transportation system by helping carriers find freight and shippers find transportation. Transportation brokers (like freight forwarders) arrange for the pick up, transportation and delivery of cargo across the country by acting as a clearing house for truckers and shippers. Since they have a higher volume of freight than the average shipper, brokers are able to negotiate with trucking companies to ship your cargo as inexpensively and quickly as possible. Compass Cargo provides the traditional services of a broker and more.

At Compass Cargo, we do more than just find you a truck. We act as an in-house traffic department, coordinating with your customers shipping arrangements and documentation needs; allowing you to focus on your core business.

Our experienced transportation staff can provide answers to your transportation questions regardless of location. Based in Texas, we maintain a vast database of available equipment, and subscribe to several load exchanges networks, giving us access to thousands of trucks across the US and Canada. Our database is continually updated with the current authority, insurance and fleet information for all our trucking partners. If you feel that you are not getting the best rates or services from your current trucking company, give us a call and compare!
