US-map-freight-brokers-shipping-carriers

Big Outdoors Expediting is a national logistics provider, combining the versatility of national freight brokering with the reliability of a commercial shipping carrier. Our offices are located in Indiana, but our operational reach spans throughout the country. Whether you need a single expedited load or a long-term regional logistics partner, we provide expertise and reliability to move your freight forward anywhere in the country.

What are the benefits of using a national freight broker who is also a commercial carrier?


Working with a national broker-carrier gives you the best of both worlds. You get the huge shipping network of a national broker, but the personal care of a carrier who owns their own fleet of trucks to make sure your freight never sits idle.
