Enlisting the services of a freight broker is one of the simplest ways businesses thrive. With 90% of Fortune 500 companies now using freight brokers, more companies than ever are enjoying the benefits that freight brokers bring to the table. From cost savings to improved customer satisfaction, a freight broker can be a company’s key to future success.
The trucking industry is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. Nearly 71% of all the freight tonnage moved in the U.S. goes on trucks. Without the industry and our truck drivers, the economy would come to a standstill. To move 10.5 billion tons of freight annually requires over 3.6 million heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and over 3.5 million truck drivers. It also takes almost 39 billion gallons of diesel fuel to move all of that freight. Simply – without trucks, America stops.
