Become a Regular Carrier Member
Regular Carrier Members are either a customized logistics and delivery motor carrier or a motor carrier broker. If your company falls into one of these categories, join as an organization member of CLDA. Regular Carrier Members have voting rights and may be elected to the Board of Directors.
- Motor Carrier – An organization registered with the DOT and state authority as an Interstate or Intrastate Motor Carrier which directly transports freight or parcels.
- Freight Forwarder – An organization which provides logistics services as an intermediary between the shipper and the carrier, typically on international shipments. Freight forwarders provide the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to changing customer and consumer demands and international shipping (import/export) requirements.
- Freight Broker – An individual or company that serves as a liaison between another individual or company that needs shipping services and an authorized motor carrier. Though a freight broker plays an important role in the movement of cargo, the broker doesn’t function as a shipper or a carrier
- 3PL (third-party logistics) – A provider that offers outsourced logistics services (distribution, warehousing, and fulfillment), which encompass anything that involves management of one or more facets of procurement and fulfillment activities. In business, 3PL has a broad meaning that applies to any service contract that involves storing or shipping items.
"[The best part of being a CLDA member is] education and networking! Meeting like-minded shippers and carriers, sharing ideas and struggles and learning about industry trends and challenges and how best to cope. This gets me in front of the ball every time."
