Yes, they’re known as “freight forwarders”, Google should throw up a few although they aren’t renowned for paying fantastic rates.

find some direct work of your own or you,ll come a cropper before you,ve even started. 
If they advertise in the trade press it’s probably a waste of time. If you want to make money you need some direct work or find a more specalised field
I’m sure TN’s owner driver officianado will be along soon to give you advice.

Good luck with it mate. 
I take it that you have got your CPC. because if you have you should know how to price up the jobs you go for. ■■?
