What a property broker arranges
Three parties, one file, and no authority hiding in a job title.
A shipper has the freight. A motor carrier hauls it. A broker arranges that haul for pay and keeps the record. If you cannot point to those three on a load, you are not ready to price it.
The brokerage's name on a bill of lading as the carrier is a different business. So is a dispatch desk that chooses among many carriers. Titles do not decide which one you are.
Nothing here is a rate, a license, or a promise of freight.
The course that goes further is Broker foundation. Reading this note does not enroll you.
