25 Years of Experience. One clear Mission.
Connecting shippers with reliable, trustworthy carriers—without the noise.
The Carrier Consortium is a carrier search and vetting firm designed to help shippers cut through the daily flood of carrier solicitations and find the right capacity—faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.
What Is The Carrier Consortium?
Every carrier in our network has a proven track record of consistency, reliability, and proactive communication. We’ve worked with them for years—they’ve earned their place. With us, you’re never betting on an unknown. You’re tapping into a trusted team.
But we don’t stop there.
We also proactively search for new carriers that align with your specific needs leaning on decades of experience to know who to trust and who to avoid. Beyond active search, we maintain a vetted network of asset-based carriers across North America—from owner-operators to large fleets. While our carriers are diverse, they share one thing in common: RELIABILITY.
Meet the Founder
Gorka Zubizarreta
Founder, The Carrier Consortium
I started The Carrier Consortium to solve a real problem I’ve lived from both sides of the freight world.
For 17 years, I worked in the lumber industry, managing freight as a shipper. I learned early on that two things matter above all else in transportation: Reliability and Communication.
Reliability
Reliability means doing what you said you would do. It’s not about controlling every variable—weather, traffic, or mechanical issues. It’s about being accountable to your word.
Communication
Communication is how you earn and maintain trust. If something changes, say it early and say it clearly. Bad news never gets better with time.
I also spent 8 years as a freight broker, where I saw both the advantages and limitations of traditional 3PLs. While a good broker can bring value, I saw a system that too often creates unnecessary layers, outdated processes, and excessive costs. I worked with hundreds of carriers during this time—and learned that knowing who not to work with is just as valuable as knowing who to trust.
That experience shaped my vision:
A leaner, more transparent way for shippers to find dependable, vetted carriers—without the inefficiencies of a broker model.
Our Mission
To give shippers a smarter, simpler way to connect with reliable, asset-based carriers, backed by 25 years of hands-on industry experience as both a shipper and broker.
We don’t move freight—we remove the barriers between you and the carriers that do.
