Why choose a reputable 3PL?

Utilizing a third party to assist shippers in finding trucking companies to move their freight is an ingrained part of the supply chain. But some shippers are coming to the conclusion that to be fair to their carriers they have a responsibility to work with freight brokers who treat their carriers in a businesslike manner.

What makes a quality freight broker?

Here are some tips that should assist shippers in finding the quality freight broker:

• Is the broker asset based or is it someone working out of their basement with a fax machine? Asset based brokers are preferred by the carrier community.
• Does your freight broker pay their bills? Ask the freight broker for references and check with other shippers to find out if they have received calls from carriers for non-payment as a result of dealing with the freight broker in question.
• What are the freight broker’s payment terms? If they don’t have any of have a prolonged period this should send warning bells to you.
• Does the freight broker have insurance liability?

The key message is know whom you are dealing with. The freight broker represents you and your company. Do you want your corporation associated with an individual who engages in poor business practices?
