Freight Brokers Make A Difference: Here’s How

Trucks move 70% of the freight in the United States. If you are a midwestern manufacturer or distributor, you have experienced unrelenting upheaval since before the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. From driver and warehousing shortages and limited truck capacity to skyrocketing rates and new regulations, the trucking industry is constantly changing. And those changes affect your bottom line.

If you’re still handling the majority of your logistics needs in-house, you are probably in the market for a little relief. And a freight broker can make a big difference in both the time and money you are spending.

Why work with a freight broker?

We’ve talked with lots of logistics managers over the years, and they’re pretty upfront about why they like working with a freight broker, and in particular, the team at AM Transport Services. Here’s what we found out.

1. Logistics managers like working with AMT because they want their freight picked up and delivered on time without damages.

2. When truck capacity is tight, working with a freight broker can help you keep your budget goals.

3. Service failures cost time, money, and customer respect. Working with the team at AMT eliminates service failures.

4. Lack of visibility is a big one. The folks at AMT keep track of your freight from before pickup to after delivery. We track everything and we keep you in the know.

5. Regulations are constantly changing. Working with a freight broker can limit your exposure to excessive liabilities.

6. And even though this is number six on our list, it might be the most important reason logistics managers cite for working with AMT. We are available 24/7/365 days a year. We answer our own phones. We don’t have voice mail or phone trees, just real people ready to answer your call.
