Digital Brokers are Dead, Long Live Digital Brokers: The Future of Digitally-Empowered Brokers

The freight brokerage industry is undergoing dramatic changes, scaling through the pandemic years to $160 billion in total freight moved domestically. Technology has completely changed the game for carriers and brokers alike - empowering a new wave of entrepreneurial "app-centric" small carriers to manage their business through their phones and take ever more market share. For today's brokers, several questions loom: How can I tap into the pool of digitally enabled carriers to expand my capacity? How can I avoid the industry's rampant fraud? How can I lower my operating costs to stay competitive? This session will discuss how brokers can leverage digitally empowered brokerage models like the Convoy Platform to simplify freight execution, lower operating costs, and ultimately thrive in the fast-evolving trucking landscape.
