Shipping freight involves variables that can disrupt even the most organized operations. Many shippers face recurring challenges that stem from limited capacity, fragmented communication, or lack of transportation expertise.
A freight broker helps solve these problems by coordinating transportation through experience, planning, and carrier relationships. Buchanan Logistics, Inc. works with general shippers to reduce friction across the shipping process.
Problem: Limited Access to Reliable Carriers
Shippers often struggle to find dependable carriers, especially during tight market conditions. A logistics brokerage provides access to a broad carrier network without requiring shippers to manage multiple relationships.
Buchanan Logistics connects shipments with carriers selected based on performance and reliability.
Problem: Missed Pickups and Late Deliveries
Missed pickups and late deliveries can disrupt operations and strain customer relationships. These issues often result from poor coordination or unrealistic scheduling.
A freight broker helps prevent these problems through:
- Accurate planning before shipment
- Carrier selection aligned with lane requirements
- Active shipment monitoring

Problem: Limited Internal Resources
Many shipping teams do not have the time or staff to manage transportation issues as they arise. A logistics brokerage acts as an extension of the shipper’s team, handling coordination and communication.
Buchanan Logistics provides managed transportation support that reduces internal workload while improving shipment consistency.
Problem: Lack of Visibility During Transit
Without proper tracking and updates, shippers are left reacting to issues after they occur. A freight broker maintains visibility throughout transit and communicates changes early.
