Descrizione del lavoro

My client is expanding its independent freight agent network and is looking to partner with experienced freight professionals across the United States who want greater control over their customers, income and future growth.

This is a fully remote 1099 opportunity designed for established freight brokers, independent agents and logistics sales professionals who already have shipper relationships, an active or transferable book of business, or a proven ability to generate freight.

Importantly, there isn't a one-size-fits-all agent model.

Depending on how involved you want to be in the operational side of your accounts, my client can offer different structures ranging from a 70% gross profit split for agents managing their own business, through to a 60/40 structure with full operational support, as well as alternative arrangements for sales-focused agents who simply want to bring in customers and allow the internal team to manage the freight.

You focus on the part of the business you're strongest at. My client provides the brokerage infrastructure, technology, authority and support behind you.

Agent Structures

70% Commission Split

For experienced agents who want maximum control over their book and are comfortable managing the day-to-day requirements of their customers.

Retain 70% of the gross profit you generate while operating through an established brokerage platform.

60/40 With Full Operational Support

For producers who want to concentrate more heavily on sales, relationships and account growth.

Under this model, you can earn a 60% gross profit split, with the internal team providing full operational support for your business.

This can be particularly attractive for established salespeople who have built strong shipper relationships but don't want to spend their day covering loads and handling execution.

Sales Agent Opportunities

My client is also open to discussing alternative structures with individuals who are primarily business developers or relationship-driven sales professionals.

If your strength is opening doors and bringing customers into the business, there are models where you can introduce and develop the account while the internal brokerage team takes responsibility for managing and executing the freight.

Specific commission structures for these arrangements can be discussed based on the type, volume and profitability of business being introduced.

What You'll Be Doing

Your responsibilities will vary depending on the agent structure you choose, but could include:

• Developing and managing your own portfolio of shipper customers

• Transitioning existing customer relationships and freight opportunities

• Generating additional business through your network and ongoing prospecting

• Quoting and managing freight across your accounts

• Building long-term relationships with customers and decision-makers

• Coordinating shipments from initial request through successful delivery

• Working with internal operational resources where required

• Maintaining regular communication with customers

• Identifying opportunities to increase volume and expand existing accounts

• Operating independently while using the wider brokerage infrastructure behind you

Agents choosing a more sales-focused structure can concentrate predominantly on customer acquisition and relationship development, leaving more of the operational execution to the internal team.

Standard & Specialist Freight

My client is open to experienced producers across a broad range of transportation modes.

Traditional domestic freight experience is welcomed, including:

• FTL

• LTL

• Partial Truckload

• Dry Van

• Reefer

• Flatbed

• Drayage

• Intermodal

• Expedited

• Sprinter & Box Truck

However, my client is particularly interested in speaking with agents who have expertise in specialist freight, niche transportation markets or more complex modes.

This includes professionals working with areas such as:

• Dry Bulk

• Liquid Bulk

• Bulk Tanker

• Hazardous Materials / Hazmat

• Specialised Tanker Freight

• Specialised or Oversized Freight

• Open Deck / Heavy Haul

• High-Value or High-Security Freight

• Other specialist transportation markets requiring specific equipment, knowledge or carrier relationships

If you've built your reputation in a niche area of transportation rather than standard dry van brokerage, we want to hear from you.

Who My Client Is Looking For

This isn't an entry-level freight opportunity.

My client is primarily looking for established professionals who can bring genuine commercial value to the network.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous freight brokerage, transportation or 3PL experience

• An active or transferable book of business

• Existing relationships with US shippers

• A demonstrated history of generating gross profit

• Strong understanding of the US transportation market

• Experience independently developing customer relationships

• The ability to quote, negotiate and manage freight profitably

• A self-motivated approach to business development

• The confidence to operate with significant autonomy

Specialist transportation knowledge and established relationships within niche freight markets are particularly attractive.

What's Provided

Brokerage Infrastructure

Operate through an established brokerage rather than taking on the cost and complexity of creating the infrastructure yourself.

Depending on your chosen model, you'll have access to the brokerage platform, authority, compliance resources, credit facilities and operational infrastructure required to support your customers.

Technology & Load Boards

Agents can access the core technology required to operate their business, including:

• TMS

• DAT

• Truckstop

• Sylectus

• Load board resources

• Secure rate-confirmation processes

There are no separate software or load-board fees for the included systems.

Back-Office & Operational Support

Support is available across areas including:

• Customer invoicing

• Carrier payments

• Credit

• Compliance

• Administration

• Operational execution

• After-hours and weekend support

If you choose the 60/40 fully supported model, the operational team can take a much greater role in executing your freight, allowing you to concentrate on selling and developing your customers.

Your Customers Remain Your Customers

For experienced agents, protecting established customer relationships is understandably a major consideration when moving to a new brokerage.

Under this structure, the customer relationships you bring remain yours.

Agents are also not required to sign a non-compete, giving you greater independence over the business and relationships you've developed.

100% Remote

This opportunity is available to experienced freight professionals throughout the United States.

There is no requirement to relocate or work from a physical office.

Whether you're an established agent operating a substantial book, a specialist freight professional with relationships in a niche market, or a high-performing salesperson who wants someone else to handle execution, there are different structures available.

Why Consider It?

The biggest advantage is choice.

If you want maximum control and a larger percentage of your gross profit, there is a 70% agent model.

If you'd rather spend more time selling while having an experienced team manage execution, there is a 60/40 fully supported model.

And if your strength is purely opening doors and bringing shipper relationships into the business, sales-agent structures can also be discussed.

You don't have to force your business into a predetermined operating model.

Instead, the structure can reflect how you sell, the freight you specialise in, the size of your book and how involved you want to be operationally.
