If you’ve been in freight brokerage for more than a few years, you’ve seen it firsthand—the struggle to find enough truck drivers to move loads. It’s not just a temporary hiccup; it’s a deep-rooted issue that’s reshaping the industry. And for brokers, that means adapting to a new reality where drivers hold more power, rates

The freight and logistics industry has always been the backbone of global trade, but for decades, it operated on legacy systems, paperwork, and fragmented processes. Enter freight tech startups—nimble, tech-driven companies revolutionizing how goods move from point A to point B. Over the past few years, these startups have not only gained traction but have

The logistics industry has long been a major player in global commerce—but also a major contributor to pollution, waste, and carbon emissions. As climate concerns grow, businesses and consumers alike are demanding greener, more sustainable supply chains. Enter green logistics: a movement reshaping how goods are transported, stored, and delivered with minimal environmental impact. From electric

Freight brokers play a crucial role in the supply chain—connecting shippers with carriers, negotiating rates, and keeping goods moving smoothly. But with great power comes great responsibility (and a lot of paperwork). One of the biggest hurdles for brokers? Staying compliant with freight broker bond requirements.

Shippers waited days just to get a truck. Then came the digital revolution. Today, freight matching happens in seconds, not days—thanks to digital freight platforms that use AI, real-time data, and automation

If you’ve been in freight for more than a year, you know this truth: the market giveth, and the market taketh away. One month, you’re turning down loads because you can’t find trucks. The next, carriers are begging for work at rates that barely cover fuel. Spot rates swing like a pendulum, and if you’re not

Let’s be real—freight brokers have always been the matchmakers of the supply chain. But what happens when algorithms start doing the matchmaking better, faster, and cheaper? AI isn’t coming for freight brokerage. It’s already here. From automated load matching to predictive pricing, technology is reshaping how freight gets moved—and brokers who don’t adapt risk becoming obsolete.

Let’s cut through the noise – freight brokerage has always operated in something of a gray area when it comes to transparency. But those days are ending fast.
