This is much faster than the 14 percent growth projected for other jobs in the same period. Factors contributing to growth for this sector include the increasing trend of companies to use freight arrangement services to outsource their shipping.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2011, freight broker/agents reported an average annual salary of $58,000 per year.
According to indeed.com, their statistics show that job trends in transportation are up 54% from December 2012 to December 2013 – so transportation and logistics jobs are greatly on the increase.

I'm looking for a freight broker agent to talk to about our freight. We have a lot so it's important for us to get a good quote. Hopefully we can have it shipped for the most reasonable price.
