Northgate Logistics is a Polish freight-forwarding (TSL) operator that licenses its brand and operating system to independent partners. As a franchisee you don't open a haulage company with your own truck fleet — you open a forwarding office that works purely as a broker: it matches shippers' cargo with carriers and earns on the spread between what the client pays and what the carrier is paid. It is essentially a branded partner network for the forwarding sector, where no truck is ever bought or run.
