A broker is a professional who works on your company’s behalf. I can quote you a freight rate, and when you tell me the freight is ready, I schedule an available carrier right away, based on truck availability. This means prompt loading, sometimes is as little as 1 hour, and good pricing. This is one reason why a broker can be advantageous to use. If you hire a carrier direct, sometimes, carriers can be unreliable, due to mechanical problems, driver illness or unloading delays, and a replacement truck might be a few days away. When you use Colbren Logistics, LLC, I just hire another carrier if the truck I select is delayed for any reason, and that ensures you of good service and good pricing.

In addition, to help keep your freight rates competitive, what I do for your company is identify your shipping lanes and locate carriers who drive in those areas you ship to frequently, and secure a back haul rate, based on your time requirements and pricing. This can save anywhere from $200.00 per load to as much as $600.00 and even more.

Flatbed shipping is one of my specialties: both full loads and LTL. Please click on my service tab for a list of service provided. I also provide transportation for over-dimensional loads. I shipped a 15,000 lb. mini-sub used in the Titantic exploration to a museum in Houston, and what made it extra exciting was it was on wheels, so the museum of Natural Science could pull it with a forklift. I also shipped from Arizona a 200,000 lb. ball mill to the port of Houston. I also can provide air-ride logistics vans for delicate or unusual items, refrigerated food hauling, team drivers for time saving needs, and international freight assistance too.

Here is a little bit of history about me. I have been a stock room manager, traffic manager, drove for UPS, worked for North American Van Lines, 3 air freight and freight brokerages, a heavy haul company and now, at last, business owner. Please read my letters of recommendation.
