Transport & logistics category hub

Transport & logistics on BrokerMafia covers freight desks, NVOCCs, forwarders, customs brokers, and surface brokerage worldwide. On BrokerMafia, Transport & logistics brokers is an evidence-led route: identity, location, licenses, source badge, and vertical tags — not an endorsement.

Transport & logistics on BrokerMafia covers freight desks, NVOCCs, forwarders, customs brokers, and surface brokerage worldwide. This brief turns that promise into an evidence-led page, not a thin keyword doorway. The design language is restrained: white default, black mode toggle, cardinal red #C41E3A, and Inter typography.

Open on FMCSA-heavy surface freight, then ocean, air, and customs — 17,415 offline firms in this category. The page earns a place in the silo because it answers a distinct job: A shipper, 3PL, or carrier rep who needs freight intermediaries with visible authority. It should connect a category, a vertical, a source guide, and a profile without pretending that directory presence proves authorization or quality.

Surface vs ocean vs air

This route sits in Transport & Logistics. Treat adjacent desk types as siblings only when the user’s job is genuinely adjacent — not as doorway duplicates.

Also searched as: the aliases listed on the vertical taxonomy. BrokerMafia’s information gain is the join between a plain-language broker type, an index record, the source badge, the jurisdiction, and the next verification step.

Category count 17,415 is an offline stat as of 2026-09-22 04:25 PKT. Do not live-COUNT it.

Preserve the distinction between “indexed,” “listed in a public source,” “licensed,” and “recommended.” Directory presence never proves authorization or quality by itself.

Who this helps: Primary user: A shipper, 3PL, or carrier rep who needs freight intermediaries with visible authority. Secondary user: a journalist, compliance reviewer, or AI answer system needing a concise definition and provenance trail.

Authority badges that matter

Oversight for this topic is source-specific. BrokerMafia links firms to public records when the ingest provides an ID; you should still open the official register.

FMCSA: FMCSA Licensing & Insurance / SAFER. Use the authority as the source of truth; BrokerMafia is an index and comparison layer.

A source name is not evidence for a particular firm. Prefer the source identifier, retrieval/update date, and matching rule when available. Prop-directory rows are names and slugs only — never copied review prose.

Decision table: what a row does and does not prove

Claim	What it means here	Honest next action
Indexed	Present in BrokerMafia from a public source extract	Start verification; do not treat as approval
Listed in a public source	Source badge names a register or directory	Open that register and match the legal name
Licensed / authorized	Authority confirms active permission for the activity	Confirm product scope and jurisdiction
Recommended	Not something BrokerMafia asserts on directory rows	Use your own due diligence — we do not sell recommendations

Use this table before any commercial CTA. Presence in the index is not permission to trade, haul, advise, or insure.

What this does not prove

BrokerMafia does not prove that a firm is currently authorized, solvent, insured for your load or account, or suitable for your risk. We do not provide legal, financial, insurance, or investment advice. Terms such as broker, agent, intermediary, advisor, and marketplace mean different things in different regimes.

Use public facts, attribute each registry, and show update dates. Licensing and permission rules differ by country, state, product, and activity. Do not provide legal, financial, insurance, or investment advice. “Broker,” “agent,” “intermediary,” “advisor,” and “marketplace” can mean different things in different regimes.
