What is the difference between a Freight Broker or a Freight Broker Agent?

Modified on Tue, 14 Dec, 2021 at 1:58 AM

A broker is the owner of his or her own company. They are required to meet all legal requirements (FMCSA Registration, Bond/Trust Fund, BOC-3) to operate as a broker.


An agent works under the umbrella of the registered broker and typically receives a commission percentage of the brokerage fee.
