According to PayScale, freight brokers can make an annual income ranging from $29,000 up to $72,000. This depends on the broker's level of experience in the industry, the location of the broker's business, and commissions charged for work performed.
However, there are some freight brokers that make substantially more than this each year, between $100,000 and $200,000. The higher levels of income for freight brokers are mostly available to those who hire additional freight agents to work under them, or those who have built up a significant reputation in the industry.
