Are you ready to partner with a Broker who understands the Agent space and was founded by Agents dedicated to offering the best Agent Program in the industry?
You’ve undoubtedly spent countless hours assessing your current situation—time that could have been used more effectively. During this time, you’ve considered the implications of staying put and carefully examined all the challenges of switching to a new Broker.
However, for some reason, you’re still not completely convinced that moving is in your best interest. Maybe you’re uncertain whether the potential benefits truly outweigh the drawbacks of relocating your customers. Or perhaps you just haven’t found the right partner who can give you the confidence you need to move.
You’ve arrived at the right place. Here, we examine the key factors to consider before choosing a new Freight Broker and why D&L is the right choice.
Agent Support — Our Only Business
D&L Transport has no other business interests than supporting successful Freight Agents.
D&L Agents get full support from our expert Back Office when needed. We’re not focused on ‘the next big thing.’ We’re focused on Agent Support. It’s the foundation we were established on; it’s all we do, and we do it better than anyone else.
Dedicated Teams Focused on Agent Support
D&L has dedicated Back-Office, Claims Dispute, and LTL Support teams. But it doesn’t stop there. We also have a dedicated team focused on Carriers. That includes onboarding, compliance, and support. That means our Agents aren’t stalled when trying to match their Shippers’ loads with Carriers. Our Carrier team also does its due diligence to ensure timely onboarding and vetting of the Carriers to ensure compliance is in line.
Clear and Direct Business Relationship
We make our business relationships simple and non-threatening. It starts with this shortlist: NO Non-Competes, Long-term Contracts, Red Tape, Games, or Gimmicks. Our Agent Agreements are written more for the protection of the Agent rather than D&L. Other Agent programs built around strict constraints either lack substance or want to utilize the Agent’s efforts to build up a book of business that the Parent Broker ultimately owns. D&L does the opposite — simple, straightforward, we’re in this together, but you always own your business. Whether you transition your customers to D&L, or form the relationships as a D&L Agent, your book of business is yours.
Market-Level Compensation—Quickly
Fair, market-level compensation covers commission level, structure, payment timing, and the written contract. Part of that is also the fee for load boards and TMS. D&L pays 70% Commission on all FTL and LTL. Commissions are paid weekly at the time of invoice. There are no fees for TMS or Load Board access. Quick payment on all your loads with no hidden fees.
Incentives + Benefits
D&L Transport offers incentives and benefits designed to support a growing and successful Freight Agency. These include the D&L President’s Club, a viable vacation plan, and a group health offer. Our Viable Vacation Plan pairs an Agent with a seasoned veteran in the industry to cover loads while they are out of the office and enjoying much-needed time away. We also offer Group Healthcare options for our Agents to consider.
Freedom + Capital to Run Your Business
D&L boasts a top 1% credit rating with Carriers and factoring companies, a solid payment history with Carriers, a long-standing reputation, the necessary capital to elevate your business, and strong brand recognition. Thanks to instant customer credit, booking loads with new Shippers is quick and simple. Furthermore, the D&L Back Office can promptly review credit limit increases to ensure an Agent’s operations continue smoothly. Using ‘Powered by D&L’ alongside your existing Agency Office brand is an excellent strategy to preserve brand equity while capitalizing on D&L’s strong reputation, thereby opening doors to new business opportunities.
Constant Investment in Technology
D&L Transport deploys the best technology to meet Agent needs. We seek Agent input when developing new tools and provide quick training and lightning-fast support for all systems. It’s all about providing better tools, resources, and operations to improve efficiencies and, as a result, our Agents’ bottom lines.
Experts in Making Transition Painless
All too often, the straw that breaks the camel’s back in any transition is the fear of making the change. D&L has a polished, professional process to make it all happen seamlessly and painlessly. We get new Agents up and running in 24 hours, review existing customer contracts and credit requirements immediately, and provide quick access to and training for TMS and load boards. We’ve mastered the art of Agent transition. Outside of name changes on invoices, the only difference in a Shipper’s experience will be improved efficiency in overall operations.
The Time to Move is NOW
It’s time to partner with a Broker who is a top 50 3PL, offers 24/7 Agent support, has a top 1% credit rating, has an in-house dedicated Carrier team, and provides unlimited capital to grow your business. At D&L, we understand how big a decision it can be to move to a new Broker. Let’s make it happen.
