Frequently asked questions
How does Expeditors' business model differ from a shipping line?
Expeditors is a non-asset-based freight forwarder — it owns no ships, planes, or trucks. Instead, it purchases cargo space in bulk from carriers and resells that capacity alongside customs brokerage, warehousing, and data tools. This model lets Expeditors remain carrier-agnostic and switch routing when disruptions hit specific trade lanes, without the balance-sheet burden of a shipping fleet.
What supply-chain advisory work does Expeditors perform?
Beyond core forwarding, Expeditors maintains a Strategic Macro Consulting practice covering geopolitics, trade policy, and tariff analysis, including a publicly available Tariff Calculator. The firm also deploys sensor-based IoT logistics, integrated warehousing with real-time inventory reporting, and Delivery Management teams that monitor carrier performance against on-time commitments.
