The full green circle: Yes or Complete. Half-filled circle: Depends. Empty circle: No or Not applicable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Freight Carriers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freight carriers are the backbone of our industry. It is them who actually transfer your cargo from point A to point B using their drivers and assets (trucks, warehouses, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that said, more often than not, as a modern business with regular freight shipments going to different locations, you would not get an overall great experience working with carriers directly. Here\u2019s why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freight carriers specialize in carrying freight. Their coverage depends on the number of terminal hubs they have in any given location. So if they\u2019re only large enough to have 1-2 terminal hubs across the country, those are pretty much the areas that they\u2019ll be serving. Possibly a bit more if they have partner carriers willing to help out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a list of services you can expect from a standard freight carrier:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large LTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intermodal Freight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expedited<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temperature-Controlled Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White Glove Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need anything other than standard B2B, dock-to-dock shipping for either LTL or FTL, you\u2019ll likely have to <\/span><b>look around for a specialized carrier.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also may or may not get competitive pricing. If you\u2019re a small business looking for a one-off shipment, you will probably be looking at an eye-popping number on your screen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of reviews, the results will also vary greatly depending on the carrier, their service center, the lane you\u2019re looking to ship on, and\/or their partners. We suggest you do your homework and read the reviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Traditional Non-Automated Freight Brokerages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional non-automated brokers still rely on phone calls, and in more cases than you\u2019d think, pen and paper. That means that in terms of speed, they wouldn&#8217;t be able to complete with instant quotes and other advantages of automation. In terms of expertise and service quality, your mileage would vary.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible to be treated by working with an experienced, responsive, and courteous broker. They would be able to find you a great price and be transparent in the process. However, <\/span><b>they will still need to take a bit of precious time to email or call their carrier network and negotiate the price.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This will take a bit of back and forth with the information being lost in the process at least some of the time.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, a very common scenario is that you\u2019ll work with an overworked broker with a year or two in the industry, and they\u2019ll find you a carrier, but likely not the cheapest or most reliable one. They\u2019ll do the job for you, but their customer service skills would vary greatly, and attentiveness could be lower due to working with carriers and drivers who are, in many cases, just as overworked as the brokers themselves. It is only human to make mistakes when under a lot of pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a list of services you can expect (to varying degrees) from traditional freight brokers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large LTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ocean Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intermodal Freight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expedited<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temperature-Controlled Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White Glove Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with a freight broker will, as we already mentioned, vary in service greatly. Not only between companies but between reps you speak with at a single firm too. You can\u2019t expect the consistency your business processes may require.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Freightquote<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freightquote has been around since 1998. Much like Freightera, they specialize in ground freight shipping and they operate across North America. In 2015, Freightquote was acquired by C.H. Robinson, adding to CH Robinson\u2019s global supply chain services.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They don\u2019t mention freight brokerage services on their website so you may need to find your own customs broker before shipping across the border. Other than that, they offer the following services:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FTL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parcel Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intermodal Freight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expedited Shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freight Spend &amp; Management Analysis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project Solutions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freightuote has great reviews on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/www.freightquote.com?utm_medium=trustbox&amp;utm_source=Carousel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trustpilot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at 4.5 out of 1164 reviews.
