Shippers are slowly but surely going out of business today. How do I know this? I have been doing some cold calling. Shippers are giving up. Why? Higher prices. Most shippers have a high overhead. Employees to pay, carriers to pay, suppliers to pay, etc. etc. When the minimum wage increased, fuel prices went up, and the customer demand went down, therefore the supply need decreased.
Shippers decided to try cutting back but when that didn't work, they got out. Everybody loses. This holds true in any business and it is true in the freight broker business world also. If shippers don't have customers, they won't need a carrier. If carriers can't find shippers, they won't need their truck. Therefore neither one will need a freight broker. And again, everybody loses. How can freight brokers possibly avoid this? Simple, by having had the proper freight broker training.
