What's the difference between a Freight forwarder and Freight Broker?

"Freight Forwarder—the term 'freight forwarder' means a person holding itself out to the general public (other than as a pipeline, rail, motor, or water carrier) to provide transportation of property for compensation and in the ordinary course of its business — (A) assembles and consolidates, or provides for assembling and consolidating, shipments and performs or provides for break-bulk and distribution operations of the shipments; (B) assumes responsibility for the transportation from the place of receipt to the place of destination; and (C) uses for any part of the transportation a [surface carrier] carrier subject to jurisdiction [of the Department of Transportation] of under this subtitle."

In other words, at some time the freight forwarder is supposed to have physical possession of the goods. A broker has no such legal requirement. The broker must have a bond or trust fund of 75k, the FF has no such requirement. I personally will not haul for a FF, non payment by a FF means a trip to court to get my money. Non payment by a broker means, hopefully, only a call to their bonding company and an exchange of paperwork.
