Freight forwarding brokerages and agencies in Canada endured mixed economic conditions that curtailed traditionally stable growth. Nonetheless, the consistent need for freight forward services that provide seamless transition between the shipper and the carrier, coupled with robust trading activity, benefited operators. Demand for operators' services is primarily determined by domestic and international trade volumes, in addition to the propensity of businesses to outsource freight forwarding and customs brokering operations. This industry acts as an intermediary between shippers and carriers. These companies are generally called freight forwarders, marine shipping agents or customs brokers and can offer a combination of services that may span transportation modes. Companies in the industry also arrange and coordinate the transportation and storage of industry goods without providing actual transportation and storage services.
