Post, Freight and Carriers

What exactly do Freight Brokers do?

Can someone explain in very basic terms what they do? I have seen an ad online for a company that you can learn the trade and work from home doing this. Is this how most companies run? I have no clue about the business, so I would like to know more. Thanks!

1. Most companies do not work like that. I dont trust work from home jobs... The company I work for has its own section in the building for the brokers. I dont know exactly what they do.
