When to use a broker, a carrier, or a 3PL in Miami
A Miami broker is useful when freight is ready to roll. It is the wrong first call when the freight still has to clear, sit, or get picked.
| When this is the job | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Spot reefer, mixed equipment, or overflow after the freight is ready | Freight broker | You need a licensed desk with active MC broker authority. |
| A repeat South Florida lane with known equipment | Carrier | Direct authority and the named terminal cut the extra party out. |
| Inventory or fulfillment in Doral or Medley | 3PL | The constraint is the building and cutoff, not the next truck. |
