Four Quick Reasons Freight Brokers Bring Value
There's a wide range of choices when managing supply chains.
You might already be using a freight broker or utilizing a few; if so, that's great! Let's take a moment and talk about why freight brokers make such great partners.
Efficiency
Focusing on what you do best always makes sense from a business standpoint. Rather than pivoting your attention from your business to navigate a complex field of freight transportation, why not have freight professionals handle it for you?
Moving products efficiently and cost-effectively is what freight brokers do every day. Logic stands to reason that they'll be most equipped to handle your shipping needs. This allows you to stay focused on growing your business and keeping customers happy. When everyone on your team is doing what they do best, your business is at its best. Here at PB Logistics Services, freight is what we do best.
Experience
We're not trying to get all "Art of War" on you, but you wouldn't want an inexperienced general leading you into battle. The same goes for your freight being handled. Shipping and receiving are what freight brokers excel at; use their knowledge to your advantage.
We use specialists consistently in our daily lives. For instance, it's doubtful you'd rebuild your car's engine when it breaks or construct a house unless you're a mechanic or a contractor. The same applies to your freight needs. A freight broker equips themselves with the resources and technology to move your supply chain in the most efficient ways possible. It's not like you're removing yourself from the equation because you'll always be kept in the know and have real-time updates. At PB Logistics Services, our team has a combined experience of over 120 years in the industry.
Scalability and Reliability
Freight brokers deal with uncertainty and shifts within your business. If you encounter seasonality, dry spells, or spurts of growth, brokers are most equipped to work with your company no matter what your shipping patterns look like. Our job and expertise ensure you have max capacity when it's needed. Therefore, you won't have to worry about any abnormalities in your shipment volume.
Connections and Relationships
As freight brokers, we have extensive carrier networks that we work alongside, which is advantageous for all angles of consignees and shippers. The quantity and quality of relationships that PB Logistics Services possesses will give you buying power and lower your shipping costs. More connections also correlate to more capacity. There have been times when trucks have been tough to come by, so having someone with many references in your shipping arsenal is a massively valuable asset.
