The legal entity that acts as an intermediary in the transport business by holding the H1 / H2 authorisation certificate obtained from the Ministry of Transport of Republic of Turkey is referred to as a freight forwarder.
The forwarder brings the customer (shipper) and the truck owner operator or logistics company together and coordinates the transportation between them. The forwarder is not authorised to issue a transport invoice, but can only issue an intermediary invoice. The forwarder collects the service fee from the owner operator.
