Frequently asked questions
What does a freight forwarder do?
The job of a freight forwarder is to coordinate the complexity required to move freight across a diverse network of logistics asset owners. Because no company is big enough to have all the assets required—trucks, container ships, cargo planes, trains, warehouses, and more, in every country on earth—freight forwarders have to use multiple asset owners on any given shipment.
How do I find freight forwarding services near me?
Flexport is not only a US freight forwarder but additionally offers international freight forwarding services and has offices across North America, Europe, and Asia.
