Transportation Brokerage: As one of the first Transportation Brokerage companies in America we have been in the business of matching freight with trucks for over 25 years.

We negotiate reasonable rates and set up punctual pickup appointments and delivery times while keeping track of your freight when it is in transit.

Carriers: Contract carriers have found that it is very expensive to maintain a sales force big enough to keep all of their trucks loaded and on the road. That’s where The Match Maker, Inc. can help. We can save you time and money by finding your freight for you.

• Most carriers can find most of their freight with their own people, but as much as 10, 20, or even 40 percent can be found much more cost effectively with a broker.
• There is a big difference in the freight that a carrier can find from a shipper and what they might find from a broker. A broker can choose the right freight at the right price going the right direction.
• A broker can keep a carrier’s empty mileage percentage low enough to keep the carrier in a profitable position.
• The last 10 or 20 percent of the freight contributed by a broker can often be the difference between profit and loss.
• The operation of a trucking firm (i.e. driver interface, safety problems, public liability and risks, capital requirements, equipment maintenance requirements, and regulatory safety requirements) can be a strain on management and resources; we help lighten the load by making sure your product gets to your costumers quickly.

Shippers: Why would a shipper use The Match Maker, Inc.? Because a shipment of product can’t make any money if it’s sitting in your warehouse and the most cost effective way to move your product efficiently is with quality brokerage.

• Brokers interact more closely with carriers than shippers do.
• Brokers can assist with all the details, paperwork, and communications that shippers require to move their freight effectively, reliably, consistently, and safely.
• Brokers are more “tuned in” to the changes in supply and demand that affect real market prices.
• Brokers deal in many types of freight not just one particular shippers type of freight.
• Quality Brokers have the very highest quality technicians and specialists on their staff, which shippers just can’t afford.
• Brokers have more sophisticated information and communication systems that make shippers freight flow smoothly.
• Brokers can consolidate one shipper’s freight with another’s to achieve better cost/service performance for both.
