Pan-European Logistics & Freight Transport.

A 3PL provides a bundle of outsourced logistics services — warehousing, inventory management, transport, and distribution — under one contract. A freight broker provides one focused service: arranging freight movements between shippers and carriers, without warehousing goods or managing shipper inventory. Go Trans is a freight broker — it arranges cross-border road freight and does not operate warehouses or manage shipper stock levels.

In everyday logistics usage, carrier and transporter are interchangeable. In CMR Convention and EU road freight law, the transporter is the specific entity that signed the CMR consignment note as carrier at the loading address — accepting legal custody of the goods and responsibility for their condition at delivery. A company operates as both a carrier and a transporter simultaneously, but the terms carry different legal precision in cross-border freight documentation and claims processes.

A freight forwarder takes on legal carrier status for international air and ocean freight — it is contractually liable to the shipper for cargo loss under IATA or FMC regulations. A logistics broker arranges freight without assuming that carrier liability — the carrier who signed the CMR consignment note carries the legal responsibility. In European road freight, Go Trans operates as a logistics broker: it arranges the freight and coordinates documentation; the carrier is liable for the goods in transit.
