货运代理人（Forwarder或Freight Forwarder）主要以收取佣金或赚取差价为报酬之运送业者。多数的货运代理人提供整个货柜的运送服务，但拼箱货运代理人主要以提供收受不足整个货柜的货物，再集中其他货物以整并成一个货柜，再交由船公司运到目的地。

A forwarder is a forestry vehicle that carries big felled logs from the stump to a roadside landing. Unlike a skidder, a forwarder carries logs clear of the ground, which can reduce soil impacts but tends to limit the size of the logs it can move. Forwarders are typically employed together with harvesters in cut-to-length logging operations.
