How Auto Transport Brokerage Works

Network Access

We maintain relationships with thousands of FMCSA-registered carriers. When you book, we broadcast your shipment to carriers running your exact route — not just whoever is available that day.

Carrier Vetting

Every carrier we dispatch is verified: active FMCSA registration, cargo insurance ($100K minimum), and satisfactory safety rating. We do not dispatch carriers with violations or insurance lapses.

Dispatch & Coordination

Once a carrier is assigned, we handle the full coordination — pickup scheduling, inspection documentation, Bill of Lading, and delivery confirmation. You get a single point of contact throughout.

Claim Support

In the rare event of damage, we guide you through the claims process with the carrier's cargo insurer. We stay involved until your claim is resolved.

Freight Broker FAQ

What is a freight broker?+

A freight broker is a licensed intermediary that connects shippers (people or businesses who need cargo moved) with carriers (licensed trucking companies that have the trucks and drivers). Freight brokers are regulated by the FMCSA and must hold a Motor Carrier (MC) number and a freight broker license. They handle negotiation, dispatch, and coordination but do not own trucks themselves.

What is the difference between a freight broker and a carrier?+

A carrier owns trucks and employs drivers — they physically transport the freight. A freight broker does not own trucks; instead, they maintain a network of vetted carriers and coordinate shipments on behalf of customers. Brokers often get better rates than the open market because they have established relationships and volume with carriers.

Is Uwon Carriers a freight broker or a carrier?+

Uwon Carriers LLC is an FMCSA-licensed auto transport broker. We maintain a curated network of vetted, insured carriers and coordinate vehicle shipments on behalf of our customers. We specialize in passenger vehicle transport (cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, and specialty vehicles) rather than general freight.

How do I find a reputable freight broker near me?+

Check FMCSA's licensing database at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov to verify any broker holds an active MC number and freight broker authority. Look for brokers with BBB accreditation, strong customer reviews on Google and TransportReviews, and transparent pricing. Uwon Carriers LLC is BBB-accredited and FMCSA-licensed.

What does a freight broker charge?+

Freight brokers earn a margin between what the customer pays and what they pay the carrier. For auto transport, typical broker margins range from 10–25% of the total shipment cost. The total price you pay as a customer is the all-in cost — you do not pay a separate broker fee on top.

Are freight brokers regulated?+

Yes. Freight brokers operating in the US must be registered with the FMCSA, maintain a surety bond or trust fund of at least $75,000, and carry a Motor Carrier (MC) number. This protects both shippers and carriers. Always verify an auto transport broker's FMCSA registration before booking.
