A day in the life of a freight forwarder

The world sees the finished product – a shipment arriving at its destination. But behind that smooth arrival lies a complex web of logistics, paperwork, and constant problem-solving. That's our world as freight forwarders.

We're the middlemen, the orchestrators, the ones who make sure your goods get from point A to point B, no matter the distance or the obstacles. It's a juggling act, keeping track of countless shipments, each with its own unique set of challenges.

A day in the life

• Morning: We start the day by checking emails and responding to urgent client requests.
• Mid-morning: Negotiate rates with a carrier for an upcoming shipment.
• Afternoon: Work with a customs broker to clear a shipment that's been held up at the border.
• Late afternoon: Track a shipment that's experiencing delays and coordinate with the carrier to get it back on schedule.
• End of day: Review upcoming shipments and prepare for the next day's challenges.

Our daily grind

• Negotiating: We're constantly negotiating rates with carriers, airlines, and trucking companies, always looking for the best deals for our clients.
• Paperwork Purgatory: Customs documents, shipping manifests, insurance certificates – paperwork is our lifeblood. We navigate the maze of regulations, ensuring everything is in order.
• Problem Solvers: Delays, damaged goods, unexpected fees – these are the curveballs we field daily. We're the first line of defense, working to find solutions and keep shipments moving.
• Tech: We rely on technology to track shipments, manage documentation, and communicate with clients and partners. It's a fast-paced environment, and we need to be on top of the latest tools.
• Global Network: We have a network of agents and partners worldwide, ensuring our clients' goods are in good hands no matter the destination.
