Goldilocks of Freight 2025
The largest brokerage in the United States reported $17.7 billion dollars in revenue at a 30.5 gross margin. That means roughly a $5 Billion spread. They collected 17.7 Billion from Shippers then turned around and paid Carriers about $12 Billion So Did they overcharge shippers? Or Underpay carriers? Or are the numbers just right?

The gross margin seems very high at over 30%. The current brokerage margin is below 14%, hence this is more than double to average brokerage. Did not realize with truck shortages any broker could make this type of margin?

I can see with their buying power them coming in at 15.6%. Since 2023 CHR has removed over 5000 people for AI. Will state IMHO, believe their buying power and market is creating the higher % over the balance of us as brokers.

The lack of carriers will be a bigger challenge than lack of drivers. With the amount of carriers going under in the USA and Canada capacity is a growing concern. Canada if you remove fuel and hydro buys 85 billion more worth of goods from the US. US retailers, fast food are struggling getting capacity for that trade. We do not have a lack of drivers applying for positions, we still challenged with misclassified drivers. In Canada we call it Driver INC, the USA they use 1099. In both cases the driver is established as their own business, yet they drive company owned tractor, they are dedicated 100% to the company. The company and driver are not paying taxes. This challenge if addressed in 2022 we may still have many of the great carriers we lost since 2023. This is my opinion of the biggest challenge that will face shippers and brokers in 2026. IMHO rates will go up, the question, will we have legal good or great carriers to haul our freight?

Looking for Drayage First Brokers
We’re on a mission to help drayage brokers secure freight without cold calling or long hours prospecting. As an ex broker I understand that the industry has it wrong. You shouldn’t have to be good at sales to perform well. There’s sales and there’s operations. Stop combining them because the industry has been doing so.

@Kenneth Carter III , depending on the company, operations and sales do need to work together. In many cases if not all the 1099 agents are sales and operations. Hope they do get along. If you are a W2 it is critical they have a strong relationship with operations. W2 the operations team and customer service not only move all the cargo, they interact with the customer. When sales and operations work together as a team, we can overcome any objection and challenge we may face as a team. IMHO
