After-hours freight brokerage call answering keeps a broker desk available outside staffed hours so carrier, shipper, status, and exception calls are captured and routed instead of going to voicemail.
What should happen after hours
The answering workflow should identify the caller, classify the reason for the call, capture required details, and escalate only the situations the carrier has approved.
