The longer you outsource transportation strategy, the harder it becomes to take it back.

The Freight Broker Model Is Designed to Keep You Dependent

Freight brokers position themselves as “experts,” but the reality is simple:

They control the data.
They control the carriers.
They control the narrative.

And you pay for it every load.

IHFB Was Built to Replace Brokers - Not Optimize Them

IHFB is a shipper-first consulting platform created by industry operators who’ve worked inside freight brokerages and alongside shippers.

We don’t sell freight.
We don’t earn commissions.
We don’t take carrier kickbacks.

Our only objective is to help shippers own their transportation function - permanently.

This Is Not for Everyone - And That’s the Point

IHFB works best for shippers who want ownership, not outsourcing.

This IS for You If:

  • You spend $1M–$50M annually on transportation

  • You rely heavily on freight brokers and want out

  • You’re tired of “market explanations” with no transparency

  • You want your team to own rates, carriers, and data

  • You’re willing to invest in building internal capability

How it Works

This Is NOT for You If:

  • You want someone else to “handle freight for you”

  • You’re shopping purely on spot rates with no discipline

  • You expect instant savings without process change

  • You believe brokers are a necessary evil

Built by Operators Who’ve Lived on Both Sides

IHFB was created by logistics operators who have worked inside freight brokerages, managed enterprise transportation programs, and owned assets themselves.

We know how brokers think - because we’ve been there.
