Freight Brokerage

Domestic capacity, RK-managed.

RK's Freight Brokerage practice provides domestic over-the-road and intermodal capacity for high-technology customers — sourced from a vetted carrier network, managed inside our operating discipline, and visible in real time alongside the rest of the customer's RK program.

What it is

A managed-capacity practice, not a quote engine.

Most freight brokerages compete on rate alone and treat each load as a transaction. RK Freight Brokerage operates differently — we work with a vetted carrier network, manage capacity actively against the customer's lane needs, and bring the same accountability that defines every other RK service.

Carrier vetting & compliance

Every carrier RK Freight Brokerage uses is vetted for safety, insurance, and operational track record. Compliance is not a checkbox — it is a discipline.

  • Safety & FMCSA monitoring
  • Insurance & authority verification
  • Performance scorecards
  • Continuous-watch carrier file
A broker who can't tell you where the truck is shouldn't have your account. We can. And we do.
RK Freight Brokerage — Operating Doctrine
Why RK

Brokerage held to the same standard as the warehouse.

ADVANTAGE 01

Vetted carriers, no surprises

Every carrier is qualified before the load tenders. Safety scores, insurance, authority, and performance history reviewed continuously — not at sign-up and forgotten.

ADVANTAGE 02

Real-time visibility

Every active load is visible in our Control Tower — ETA prediction, dwell, and exception alerts surfaced before the customer notices the variance.

ADVANTAGE 03

Single point of accountability

When a load is at risk, it's RK's load — not a list of carrier phone numbers. The same team that staffs your dock manages your brokerage.

ADVANTAGE 04

Integrated with the rest of RK

Brokerage runs alongside warehousing, FTZ, fulfillment, and global freight forwarding — one operator, one set of metrics, one accountable relationship.
