Frequently Asked Questions

How much do freight brokers get paid per load?

Freight brokers are usually paid from the margin between the shipper’s rate and the carrier’s contracted rate for that load. The amount varies based on lane difficulty, equipment type, urgency, seasonality, compliance requirements, and available capacity. Specialized FTL shipments, such as hazmat, refrigerated, heavy-haul, or cross-border moves, often require more planning and carrier vetting than routine dry van freight.
