I thought a freight broker is the middle-man. When a broker is involved, the shipper does not book the load with a carrier, the shipper books the load with a broker. The broker then finds a carrier to haul that load. Is that not the very definition of a middle-man (middle-person)?
But what he's talking about is the very common practice of people on Sylectus getting loads from a broker or 3pl and then brokering them back out again.
