Scale in a freight broker is shown most clearly by the size of its carrier network—the number of carrier partners it can call on to move shipments. A claim of more than 160,000 carriers signals a vast and flexible capacity, meaning the company can match loads across many lanes, handle peak demand, and offer shippers a wide range of options quickly. That breadth is what lets the business scale up or down with market needs and win more business.

The other figures don’t align with that level of network breadth. A smaller carrier base typically goes with a smaller workforce and lower revenue, and moving a very large volume of loads generally accompanies higher annual sales as well. So statements about having fewer than 9,000 employees, generating less than $8.8 billion in sales, or moving under 3 million loads in 2022 would imply a smaller operation than what a carrier network this large would support.
