Carrier vs Broker: What’s the Difference in Trucking?

When booking freight transportation in the United States, understanding who you’re working with is important.

What Is a Carrier?

A carrier owns and operates trucks and trailers. Reliable Logistics Solutions is a direct carrier, meaning we physically move your shipment.

Benefits of working with a carrier:

  • Direct communication

  • Fewer delays

  • Clear accountability

What Is a Broker?

A broker coordinates loads by hiring carriers but does not transport freight themselves.

Why It Matters

Working directly with a carrier often results in better reliability and transparency.
