How a search works

• Agent profileYou send a written profile: the lanes and modes you want, your commission split, and the support and systems you provide. I don't introduce anyone before this.
• SourcingI source agents from my own industry network and screen them before you hear a name.
• IntroductionI introduce agents in writing, with what I learned in screening.
• ConversationsYou talk to them and give timely feedback, and I keep the search moving with regular updates.
• SigningWhen an agent signs with you, the signing fee is due within 30 days of the start date.
• GuaranteeIf the agent leaves within 90 days of the start date, I run a replacement search at no additional signing fee.

What you get

• Agents sourced from my own industry network, not job-board postings
• Screening on freight experience, customer and lane focus, and references
• A written agent profile that defines the search before it begins
• Written introductions that include what I learned in screening
• Regular updates as the search progresses
• A 90-day replacement guarantee on the signing fee

What I need from you

• A written agent profile with your target lanes, commission split, and support
• Timely feedback on the agents I introduce
• A monthly gross profit statement for each agent who signs

Terms in plain language

• The fee is $2,500 per agent who signs with you, plus 3% of that agent's gross profit each month for their first 12 months.
• Gross profit means customer revenue minus carrier and direct freight costs on the loads the agent books, before the agent's commission.
• You send a statement within 15 days of each month end, and the revenue share is due within 30 days of month end. I can review load-level records to verify the numbers.
• The guarantee covers the signing fee and is a replacement, not a refund. The revenue share stops when the agent leaves.
• An agent I introduce in writing is mine for 12 months from the introduction. If you sign that agent in that window, the fees apply.
• I don't promise any agent's book of business, and I don't ask agents to bring customer lists or confidential information from another agency.
• Agents are never charged a fee of any kind, directly or indirectly. I'm paid only by the agency.
