FAQ

Freight brokerages act as intermediaries between shippers and carriers, facilitating the transportation of goods without owning the actual transportation assets. Freight brokers connect shippers with suitable carriers, negotiate rates, and handle logistics to ensure timely and efficient delivery. They leverage their industry expertise and networks to match shipping needs with carrier capabilities, optimizing routes and minimizing costs.

Sheer Logistics ensures on-time delivery by leveraging real-time data and business intelligence to proactively analyze and enhance logistics networks. Our approach includes strategic carrier sourcing and selection, multi-carrier management, and the use of advanced technology to monitor shipments and address potential issues before they impact delivery schedules.

Utilizing a freight broker offers several advantages over managing logistics internally, including expertise and industry knowledge, access to a broad carrier network, time and resource savings, and enhanced risk management.

Sheer Logistics offers a comprehensive range of freight services, including:

  • Dry Van: Standard trailers for transporting non-perishable goods.
  • Refrigerated: Temperature-controlled shipping for perishable items.
  • Flatbed: Open trailers suitable for oversized or irregularly shaped cargo.
  • Less Than Truckload (LTL): Shipping for smaller freight that doesn’t require a full trailer.
  • Intermodal: Combining multiple modes of transportation, such as rail and truck, for efficient long-distance shipping.

This diverse service offering enables Sheer Logistics to accommodate various shipping needs across different industries.
