Definition

  • A freight forwarder may be defined as a consolidator that collects small shipments from shippers, consolidates them into large loads, and uses a basic mode to transport them to a consignee destination. At destination, it breaks the load down into individual shipments and delivers them to the correct consignee. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business in Today's World; Freight Forwarder]
