Josh Christie is the VP of Marketing & Recruiting at D&L Transport
At D&L Transport, our mission is clear: to empower Freight Agents with the resources, technology, and support they need to thrive. In a competitive industry, finding the right partner can make or break your success. That’s why our Freight Agent Program stands apart as the clear choice for experienced professionals and growth-oriented entrepreneurs.
Many of you have picked up on this in our articles What to Look for in a Freight Agency Program — The 6 Key Factors and The Top 6 Reasons to Move Your Freight Agency. But let’s dive deeper into what truly makes D&L the leader.
Tailored Support for Every Stage of Your Career
We know that no two Freight Agents are the same. That’s why we provide comprehensive back-office support, marketing resources, and dedicated guidance — so you can build your book of business with confidence and doing what you’re great at: moving freight and growing relationships.
Agent Support — Our Only Business
Agent support is our only business. Here’s what we give our Agents:
- 24/7 Support
- Responses in 60 seconds (or less)
- Dedicated Team for Claims Disputes
- No Bad Debt Reserves
- Dedicated LTL Support Team
This unwavering commitment ensures that our Freight Agents get the expert Back Office Support they need, when they need it.
Dedicated Carrier Team
Our dedicated Carrier Team handles onboarding, compliance, and support — so you can focus on matching your Shipper’s loads with Carriers and avoid delays that hurt customer relationships and revenue.
Freedom and Flexibility to Grow Your Business
We don’t believe in fear-based retention. At D&L Transport, there’s:
- NO Non-Competes
- NO Long-term Contracts
- NO Red Tape or Gimmicks
Our Agent Agreements are designed to protect you — not us. You always own your business and your relationships. We’re here to help you grow, not hold you back.
Competitive Compensation and Unmatched Benefits
- 70% Commission on all FTL and LTL
- Commissions paid weekly at the time of invoice
- No fees for TMS or Load Board access
We also go beyond commissions with D&L President’s Club, a Viable Vacation Plan that ensures coverage while you’re away, and a Group Health Offering that provides competitive insurance premiums for our Agents.
Financial Strength and Brand Recognition
Many Brokers claim to offer freedom but lack the strength to support your growth. At D&L, you can rely on:
- Top 1% Credit Rating
- Long-term History and Reputation
- Instant Customer Credit
- Operate under your own brand, or leverage the D&L brand
This financial strength and flexibility lets you build your business your way, with the security and brand recognition of a top-tier Freight Broker.
Making Transitions Seamless for You and Your Customers
We’ve mastered the art of transitioning Freight Agents quickly and painlessly:
- New Agents Up & Running in 24 hours
- Immediate Review of Customer Contracts and Credit Requirements
- Quick Training and Access to TMS and Load Boards
Our leadership team works directly with you, so customer disruption is minimal — in fact, you’ll often find that your operations run even more smoothly!
Constant Investment in Technology
At D&L Transport, we’re committed to staying on the leading edge of technology — not the bleeding edge. We know that technology can make or break an Agent’s business, so we’re laser-focused on delivering solutions that matter. Our approach isn’t about chasing every new tool or platform that pops up. Instead, we prioritize technology that is reliable, intuitive, and proven to drive results.
We also understand that Freight Agents are the ones who use these tools daily, and that your input is essential. That’s why we involve our Freight Agents directly in the development process. We gather your feedback, listen to your challenges, and work with our partners to build solutions that address real-world problems — not just theoretical ideas.
This constant dialogue ensures our platforms are practical, streamlined, and designed to help you work smarter, not harder. From load tracking systems to real-time analytics dashboards, every enhancement is built with one goal in mind: to support your success and growth.
When you work with D&L Transport, you’re not just getting access to cutting-edge technology, you’re getting technology that’s designed for you and shaped by you.
