Why agents move their LTL here

Everything after dispatch, handled.

Selling LTL is the easy part. It's the reweighs, reclasses, and rebills that eat your week — and your margin. Our LTL operations team runs that fight for you.

01

Invoice audit & rebill defense

Every carrier invoice is checked. When a reweigh or reclass hits, we flag what should be disputed and what passes through — before it costs you.

02

Dispute resolution

Once a shipment is disputed, our group negotiates directly with the carriers and reports the outcome back to you. You never chase an adjustment alone.

03

Pickup & transit management

Daily loadboard review, carrier confirmation calls, and in-transit monitoring with proactive escalation on delays — on our Ops Support tier, we run it all.

04

Real LTL pricing muscle

A dedicated pricing team for batch rates and customer-specific pricing (CSP) — so your biggest opportunities get sharper numbers than a generic tariff.

05

Your customers stay yours

Customer ownership is contractual. Add weekly commission settlements, credit support, and bad-debt protection, and your book is protected in every direction.

06

Training & sales support

LTL onboarding, platform demos for your customers, and discovery support from the LTL team when you're chasing a big account.

Choose your level of support

Three ways to run LTL. One split for each.

Pick per account — not one-size-fits-all. Your split adjusts with how much of the back office we carry.

It works
One ATG agent office doubled its monthly LTL gross profit in six months — same reps, same customers, by mining the LTL already in their book.
“Most of the growth came from customers they already had. If your shippers move truckload with you, they're almost certainly moving LTL with someone else today.”
The network, live

Freight moving everywhere your customers are.

More margin per shipment

Margin isn't made at the quote. It's kept everywhere else.

Winning the freight is step one. Four ways Armstrong agents make more on every LTL shipment after that:

01

Buy better on every quote

Blanket, volume, and dynamic pricing side by side in one flow — pick the lowest cost that meets service and capture the spread. On larger, multi-pallet shipments, volume and dynamic options routinely beat tariff pricing by double digits.

02

Keep what you already earned

Nearly 1 in 10 LTL shipments picks up a carrier adjustment — reweighs, reclasses, added accessorials. Our audit and dispute team catches them, fights them, and returns the outcome to you. Every dispute won is margin back in your pocket.

03

Price big accounts to win — profitably

The CSP team models a target account's real lanes and volumes before you commit a rate, so your most aggressive customer pricing still leaves margin in the shipment instead of buying revenue at cost.

04

Spend your hours selling

On the Ops Support tier, everything after dispatch is off your desk — pickups, tracking, the approval queue, disputes. Hours that were going to carrier hold music become hours quoting and closing, and margin compounds with volume.

Worried about switching?

The move is a process. We run it with you.

The reasons agents hesitate are predictable — so we built the transition around them.

LTL freight agent program — frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what agents actually ask before joining.

What is Armstrong’s LTL freight agent program?

A program for independent freight agents and brokers who want to sell LTL under Armstrong Transport Group’s carrier network and technology. Agents get access to 50+ LTL carriers with blanket, volume, and dynamic pricing, dedicated LTL operations support, and commission splits up to 75% paid weekly — while keeping ownership of their customer relationships.

What commission split do LTL agents earn at Armstrong?

Up to 75% of gross margin, paid weekly. There is no bad-debt fund withheld from commissions — Armstrong carries the customer credit risk.

Do agents own their customers at Armstrong?

Yes. The customer relationship belongs to the agent. Armstrong’s role is to supply the carrier network, pricing, technology, and back office behind it.

Can a truckload agent add LTL without LTL experience?

Yes — that is what the program is designed for. Three operating models fit different levels of LTL experience: Agent Managed (you run it), LTL Ops Support (Armstrong’s LTL team handles operations behind your selling), and Full Managed (Armstrong runs the LTL freight end to end), each with its own split.

What support does Armstrong provide after a shipment is dispatched?

Invoice audit and rebill defense, reweigh and reclass dispute resolution, pickup and transit management, and claims support — the after-dispatch work that decides whether LTL margin is kept or lost.

What LTL pricing does Armstrong give agents access to?

Blanket (CzarLite-based) programs, volume and dynamic pricing across 50+ LTL carriers, and customer-specific pricing support for winning larger shipper accounts.

How does switching brokerages work, and how long does it take?

It starts with a confidential conversation and a model of your actual book with Armstrong pricing and splits behind it — before you commit. The guided transition (carrier setup, pricing replication, customer credit, first-shipment support) typically runs about 30 days, with weekly settlements from week one.

No pressure. Just numbers.
