Frequently asked questions
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.
What does Flexport do?
For a traditional freight forwarder providing freight shipping services, all of the complex coordination required to move freight across a diverse network of logistics asset owners is done using phones, emails, fax machines, and physical pieces of paper.

We structure all data in your supply chain, reinforcing automation and information. As a result, our online dashboard gives clients more visibility and control over their supply chain than ever before, providing ecommerce shipping solutions that help you manage your ecommerce logistics.
