What Is a Freight Defense Broker?

A Freight Defense Broker safeguards your interests when freight problems occur. We act as an intermediary, investigator, and negotiator in disputes such as:

  • Cargo loss or damage claims
  • Unpaid invoices or chargebacks
  • OS&D issues (Overages, Shortages, Damages)
  • Double-brokering and fraud cases
  • Rate conflicts and accessorial disputes

Our team coordinates with insurers, attorneys, adjusters, and factoring companies to secure a fair and documented resolution.

Why Freight Defense Matters

Freight defense goes beyond traditional brokerage. It is a shield for your logistics business—ensuring that disputes are resolved quickly, fraud is detected early, and compliance gaps are closed before they become penalties.
Without proper defense:

  • Carriers risk not being paid for completed loads.
  • Brokers face liability for cargo damage or double-brokering fraud.
  • Shippers encounter claims for service failures or delivery issues.

With Freight Defense Services, you have a dedicated partner to represent your interests and protect your bottom line.

Core Elements of Freight Defense

  1. Dispute Resolution
    Negotiating unpaid invoices, rate confirmation conflicts, and short-pay deductions.
    Coordinating with shippers, brokers, or factoring companies to secure payments.
  2. Cargo Claims Management
    Handling OS&D (overages, shortages, damages) claims.
    Gathering evidence such as photos, temperature logs, seal reports, and BOL/POD documentation.
    Preparing response packets that stand up to insurer or shipper scrutiny.
  3. Fraud & Double-Brokering Protection
    Investigating suspected fraudulent carriers.
    Compiling fraud packets with traceable communications and contracts.
    Mapping recovery options when financial loss occurs.
  4. Regulatory Compliance Support
    Reviewing contracts, COIs, MC/DOT documents, and safety records.
    Ensuring operations align with FMCSA, DOT, and Canadian authorities.
    Preparing for audits and reducing risk of penalties.
  5. Negotiation & Settlement
    Building a liability position and settlement target.
    Managing direct communication with counterparties.
    Delivering written resolutions that close disputes and restore cash flow.

Practical Examples of Freight Defense in Action

  • Scenario 1: Unpaid Carrier
    A carrier delivers a load but the broker refuses payment, claiming a service failure. Our team gathers POD, timestamp, and ELD records, proving on-time delivery. Payment is released after documented dispute submission.
  • Scenario 2: Cargo Damage Claim
    A shipper files a $50,000 claim for alleged damages. After evidence review, we show the load was sealed and intact upon delivery. The claim is reduced to $5,000, saving the client significant losses.
  • Scenario 3: Double-Brokering Fraud
    A motor carrier unknowingly hauls for a fraudulent broker. We compile communications, MC numbers, and load documents, then coordinate with insurers and law enforcement to begin recovery steps.

A freight broker acts as an intermediary between shippers and carriers. They do not own trucks or move freight directly but instead arrange transportation by matching a shipper’s load with a qualified carrier. Freight brokers handle communication, negotiate rates, ensure compliance, and oversee the logistics process to guarantee that shipments are delivered safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

The largest freight broker in the United States is C.H. Robinson Worldwide, based in Minnesota. The company operates on a global scale, providing logistics, supply chain solutions, and brokerage services for a wide range of industries.

The main benefit of working with a freight broker is efficiency and cost savings. Brokers have access to a vast network of trusted carriers, which allows them to secure competitive rates and the right equipment quickly. They also manage the logistics, paperwork, and compliance, reducing the workload for shippers and ensuring smoother, more reliable deliveries.

A freight broker is a licensed business entity authorized by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to arrange transportation. In contrast, a freight agent works under the authority of a broker but is not licensed independently. Agents help find clients and coordinate shipments, while the broker assumes full legal responsibility for compliance, contracts, and carrier payments.
