Commission

In the transport and logistics industry, ‘commission’ refers to a payment or fee that a person or company receives for arranging or facilitating the transportation of goods or services. This payment is usually a percentage of the total value of the shipment or transaction. Agents or brokers often earn a commission for connecting shippers with carriers, negotiating shipping rates, or handling logistics on behalf of clients. It serves as a reward for their services in coordinating the transportation process and ensuring the smooth movement of goods from one point to another. Commission incentivizes individuals or businesses to excel in the logistics and transport sector.
