Freight that
shows up on time.

I'm Hannah Brooks (Hemandeep Kaur), a US freight broker working with shippers and carriers on truckload and LTL shipments. You send the lane — I source vetted capacity, negotiate the rate, and stay on the load until it delivers.

Services

Equipment & modes I cover

Match the freight to the right trailer — that's where the rate and the on-time delivery both come from.

Full Truckload (FTL)

Dry van point-to-point moves, single-stop and multi-stop. Drop trailer, live load, and appointment freight — matched to carriers with real lane history.

LTL & Partials

Smaller shipments and shared-trailer capacity, with attention to freight class, NMFC details, reweighs, and accessorials so the invoice matches the quote.

Refrigerated / Reefer

Temperature-controlled food, beverage, and pharma freight. Pre-cooled trailers, temp settings confirmed, download reports and seal checks documented.

Flatbed, Step Deck & Open Deck

Construction material, steel, machinery, and building products. Tarping, securement, and permitting requirements handled before the truck arrives.

Expedited & Team Drivers

Must-arrive-today and tight-window freight, including team drivers, sprinter/cargo vans, and hot shot capacity when the clock matters.

Intermodal & Drayage

Container moves to and from rail ramps and ports, with chassis, terminal appointments, free-time, and per-diem deadlines tracked closely.

Cross-Border US–Canada / Mexico

Border freight with carriers authorized on both sides, plus customs documentation, transfer coordination, and bilingual driver communication.

Hazmat & Tanker

Chemicals, bulk liquids, and hazardous materials moved only with endorsed drivers, compliant placarding, and CHEMTREC-ready documentation.

Dedicated & Contract Lanes

Recurring freight priced on a contract basis with committed capacity — steadier rates, fewer last-minute scrambles, and better carrier accountability.

How it works

Four steps, no guesswork

01

Send the lane

Origin, destination, equipment, weight, commodity, and pickup window. Email or the form on this page — whichever is faster for you.

02

Get rates & options

I come back with pricing, transit time, and the carrier's track record on that lane — usually within the hour during business hours.

03

Vet, lock, dispatch

Authority, insurance, and safety checked before award. Rate confirmation issued, appointment set, driver dispatched with clear instructions.

04

Track to delivery

Check calls and status updates through delivery, POD collected, paperwork closed out. If something breaks, I fix it before it reaches you.

Industries served

Freight I'm comfortable with

Different commodities need different questions asked up front — dock height, appointment rules, temperature, securement, hazmat papers. I'd rather ask now than argue about it at delivery.

Talk through your freight

Manufacturing

Raw material and components in, finished goods out — appointment-driven facilities.

Food & Beverage

Reefer and dry, sanitary trailers, temp verification, and seal integrity.

Retail & E-commerce

DCs, replenishment, peak season surges, and drop-trailer programs.

Construction & Building Products

Flatbed and open-deck freight, tarping, and jobsite delivery windows.

Automotive & Parts

Just-in-time sensitive freight where a late truck stops a line.

Chemicals & Hazmat

Endorsed drivers, placarding, and documentation handled correctly.

Import / Export & Ports

Drayage, ramps, chassis, terminal appointments, and free-time deadlines.

3PLs & Fellow Brokers

Overflow coverage, hard lanes, and after-hours capacity when your desk is slammed.

Why work with me

A desk that answers

Freight brokerage is a service business before it's a rate business. If I say a truck is covered, it's covered — and you'll hear from me before you have to ask.

Fast, honest quotes

If a rate isn't realistic, I'll tell you instead of padding a margin and hoping.

Vetted carriers only

Authority, insurance, and safety status checked before every award — not just at onboarding.

Problems handled quietly

Breakdowns, delays, and refusals get solved on my side of the phone call first.

One point of contact

You talk to the person who knows your freight, your facilities, and your drivers.
