Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hybrid carrier-broker operation?
A hybrid operation is a trucking company that both moves freight on its own trucks (asset-based) and brokers loads to outside carriers when needed. Hybrid operators need a TMS that handles both modes natively — running their own dispatch alongside their brokerage workflow without forcing them into two separate systems.
Why use one TMS instead of separate carrier and broker systems?
Because the same load might start as a brokered move and become an asset-based move, or vice versa. A unified TMS lets dispatchers and the back office see the full picture, share customer and carrier records, and reconcile margin and settlements in one place. Separate systems force double-entry and lose visibility on which loads are most profitable.
Does ZuzHQ track margin separately for brokered vs asset loads?
Yes. ZuzHQ separates revenue, cost, and margin reporting for asset-based loads (driver pay, fuel, equipment) versus brokered loads (carrier pay, broker margin). You can see profitability by mode, by customer, and by lane.
Can a hybrid carrier broker freight to its own drivers?
Yes. ZuzHQ supports the workflow where your brokerage arm books a load and assigns it internally to your asset-based drivers, with the right paperwork, settlement, and margin tracking on both sides of the transaction.
