A freight broker is a person or an organisation that mediates disputes between motor carriers and shippers. The Shipper is the one who hires them.

Their income comes from settling disputes between the carrier invoice rate and the shipper's billing rate.
- August 2023: Convoy, a digital logistics provider and freight broking, launched a just-in-time (JIT) trucking service with a promise to deliver within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time. Convoy saw an opportunity for a more flexible service that allows shippers to scale up and down in response to rapidly changing conditions. Its new JIT service uses a network of over 400,000 trucks and IT infrastructure to discover carriers that satisfy specific shipper needs.
- Echo Global Logistics Inc. (Echo), a leading provider of technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services, has announced EchoInsure+, a new and integrated full-coverage cargo insurance product available only to Echo clients.

Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities- The need for effective and adaptable freight solutions has grown as e-commerce has grown. In order to satisfy the ever-changing needs of e-commerce enterprises, freight brokers are essential in facilitating the connection between shippers and carriers. On-demand and scalable transportation services are frequently required. The market has grown as a result of the rise of online retail as businesses look for flexible and affordable logistics options. Additionally, the freight broking industry picture through 2032 will be increasingly shaped by automation and technology advancements. Considerable technological advancements in the freight broking sector have included the use of digital platforms, automation, and data analytics. These innovations improve productivity, cut expenses, and offer real-time visibility into supply chain activities.
Challenges- Regulation adherence, including insurance commitments, safety standards, and licensing requirements, can be difficult and expensive. Broking operations may be impacted by new rules or changes to existing ones, which could result in higher compliance expenses. It takes constant work and resources to navigate these regulatory obstacles, and non-compliance can result in fines that negatively impact broking firms' financial stability. Furthermore, the increase in direct-to-consumer (DTC) logistics usage, inadequate infrastructure, and increased logistics expenses are anticipated to impede the market's expansion throughout the projected period.
Market Competitive Landscape
The US freight broking market is moderately fragmented, with large regional firms, worldwide players, small and medium-sized local players, and a few market participants. C.H. Robinson leads the industry, followed by XPO Logistics and Hub Group/Mode Transportation.

COVID-19 Impact on United States Freight Brokerage Market
The transportation industry between nations has suffered greatly as a result of COVID-19. Many nations confined their borders to reduce the possibility of illness spreading. Imports of goods have been halted from other nations. This explains the decline in exports across numerous industries. That meant that the goods industry was at risk. But this is only a short-term situation, and markets have attempted to pick up steam in 2021. Large-scale immunisation campaigns could lower the likelihood of future transmission.
