A general freight broker is a type of logistics professional who arranges the transportation of a variety of goods and products for businesses or individuals. They typically work with multiple carriers to find the most efficient and cost-effective shipping solution for their clients.

On the other hand, a household goods broker specializes in arranging the transportation of household goods and personal items for individuals or families who are moving from one home to another. They work with carriers that specialize in moving household goods, such as furniture, appliances, and personal belongings.

While both types of brokers may arrange the transportation of goods, their focus and expertise differ. General freight brokers have a wider range of products and industries they work with, while household goods brokers have a specialized focus on moving personal belongings for individuals and families.
