Switching Parent Brokers isn’t a small decision. It can have a big impact on your daily work, your income, and your long-term growth. At D&L Transport, we understand what’s at stake, and we’re committed to making the move smooth and worthwhile for every Freight Agent who joins us.
Many Freight Agents who made the switch have seen their businesses grow faster and operate more smoothly than ever. Let’s take a closer look at what these Agents experienced after making the move to D&L and how we continue to support them every day.
Seamless Transitions with Expert Support
Changing Parent Brokers can be daunting, but D&L Transport has streamlined the process to ensure minimal disruption. Agents report being up and running within 24 hours, thanks to immediate access to training, TMS, and load boards. The dedicated back-office team handles billing, compliance, and claims, allowing Agents to focus on building relationships and closing deals.
“Since joining D&L, I’ve doubled my revenue and finally achieved the work-life balance I was looking for. The technology and support here are unmatched, and I know my hard work is truly appreciated.” — Phil R., D&L Agent
Empowering Agents with Autonomy and Flexibility
D&L Transport believes in empowering its Agents. There are no non-compete clauses, long-term contracts, or hidden fees. Agents have the autonomy to run their businesses their way, with the backing of a reputable and financially strong freight brokerage.
“I’ve worked at other brokerages, but this was the first attempt at an all-commission 1099 Agent position. I couldn’t have asked for a better support team. They left me alone for the most part unless I needed them. The company also has an epic reputation among its customers and other Agents.” — Tony C., D&L Agent
Cutting-Edge Technology and Continuous Improvement
Staying ahead in the freight industry requires leveraging the latest technology. D&L Transport invests in tools that enhance efficiency and transparency. Agents are involved in the development process, ensuring that the technology meets their real-world needs.
“At D&L, we’re always looking for ways to make our Agent Program even better. Better tools, better resources, and better operations to improve efficiencies and, ultimately, our Agents’ bottom line.” — Brent Langenbach – Vice President of Operations at D&L Transport
A Community That Values Its Agents
Beyond the tools and support, D&L Transport fosters a culture of appreciation and recognition. Programs like the D&L President’s Club and the Viable Vacation Plan demonstrate the company’s commitment to its Agents’ well-being and success.
“Having a Parent Broker who recognizes not only your accomplishments but the hurdles and needs of Agents’ everyday lives is critical for a long-term successful relationship.” — Rebecca L., D&L Agent
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.

Our BETTERLIFE® with D&L video series showcases just a few of the stories from Freight Agents who’ve made the switch and found new levels of success. Agents talk about what it means to have a team that has their back, and how that translates into higher earnings and happier customers.
You’re never alone here. You’re part of a network that shares insights, celebrates wins, and helps each other out. That’s what sets D&L apart, and it’s why so many Freight Agents who join us never look back.
