Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA)

The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) is a professional organization that represents freight brokers, actually acting as the middlemen in moving goods. They connect shippers (people or companies needing to send products) with carriers (trucks, trains, or ships that deliver those products). TIA provides its members with industry resources, education, and advocacy to promote best practices, ensure regulatory compliance, and foster a fair marketplace. Essentially, TIA helps streamline and support the logistics of shipping goods efficiently and safely across various transportation modes.
