Freight Brokers and Silicon Chips
The freight broker is the middleman of the shipping industry. They are also known as third party transportation providers. Freight brokers are able to connect customers with freight companies and shippers. They are indispensable in moving goods around the country, as there are hundreds of shippers providing thousands of different services. It is easy to locate a shipper with freight brokers.
The silicon chip industry is a growing industry that to a large degree has fueled the incredible growth of the late 90’s Internet boom. Silicon chips are the basis of all types of computers as well as hand held devices such as cell phones, PDAs, even watches and some household appliances.
SFB will be occupying a niche within the general freight brokerage market by specializing in the shipment of silicon chips. Silicon chips require special attention because they are a unique cargo. The chips have a very narrow range of temperature and humidity parameters that must be maintained. These requirements are not the only ones that silicon chip companies must meet. SFB will gain market share quickly by focusing solely on silicon chips. They will become the most trusted broker for chips.
The chip industry is made up of two distinct customers: the manufacturers of chips and the purchasers of chips. While the majority of the chip manufacturers are based in America, others produce overseas. The main chip purchasers are Motorola, IBM, Intel.

SFB’s management team includes Wendy Tookarefol (seasoned) and Steve Tookarefol (seasoned). Steve has more 10 years of experience in freight and has worked for multiple companies.

SFB has coupled Steve’s in-depth trucking/ freight brokerage knowledge and insight with his wife’s expertise in the silicon chip industry. For the last seven years Wendy has been an industry consultant, working quite close with companies such as Intel.
SFBՉ۪s solid business model is projected to reach profitability by the sixth month. SFB will achieve market penetration by remaining laser focused on their market niche, while fully utilizing their strong management team.
