How does IZY Logistics find carriers for my freight?

IZY Logistics maintains a vetted network of 500+ carriers. Every carrier is pre-screened for safety ratings, insurance, and on-time performance before being offered a load.

What types of freight does IZY Logistics handle for shippers?

IZY Logistics handles dry van, refrigerated (reefer), flatbed, and power only freight across all 48 contiguous U.S. states for both FTL and LTL shipments.

What is power only freight and when should I use it?

Power only freight means IZY provides a vetted CDL driver and tractor — you supply the trailer. It's ideal when you already have loaded trailers staged at a yard, need relay moves, or run drop-and-hook operations. Power only is faster and lower cost than standard FTL because the carrier only needs to provide the tractor.

Does IZY handle flatbed and oversize loads?

Yes. IZY coordinates standard flatbed, step deck, and RGN (lowboy) moves for construction materials, steel, machinery, and oversize freight. We handle permit coordination, pilot car arrangement, and proper load securement documentation.

How can I track my shipment?

Every IZY shipment comes with real-time GPS tracking. Your coordinator sends a personal tracking link via SMS or email when your load is dispatched. You can also enter your IZY load number at izylogistics.com/tracking to look up your shipment directly.

How to Find a Freight Broker: A Practical Guide for Shippers

Finding a freight broker sounds simple — but the industry has thousands of brokers ranging from excellent to outright fraudulent. This guide shows you exactly where to look, what to verify, and how to get your first load moving fast.

Where Shippers Actually Find Freight Brokers

The most reliable sources: (1) FMCSA broker search at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov — search by state or name for verified licensed brokers, (2) Google search for your specific lane — 'freight broker Chicago to Miami' shows brokers who specialize in your route, (3) Industry referrals from other shippers in your network, (4) LinkedIn — search 'freight broker' plus your city for local specialists, (5) DAT and Truckstop directories.

The One Verification Step You Cannot Skip

Before you hand any broker a load, verify their MC number on safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. Confirm their operating authority is ACTIVE, their bond is current, and they have no recent complaints. This takes 60 seconds and protects you from double brokering, cargo theft, and non-payment disputes.

Broker vs Load Board: Know the Difference

A load board (DAT, Truckstop) lets you post freight for carriers to bid on directly. A freight broker handles carrier sourcing, vetting, rate negotiation, and load management for you. Most shippers who try load boards go back to brokers — managing 10 carrier calls per load isn't efficient for a business.

How to Evaluate a Freight Broker in 5 Minutes

Check their MC number (active authority), how long they've been in business (FMCSA registration date), their Google reviews, whether they have a physical address, and how fast they respond to your inquiry. A broker who takes 24 hours to quote a load will take 24 hours to handle a problem on your freight.
