How to Switch Freight Agent Programs

If your current program is holding the book back, moving is a process — and a good partner runs it with you so your customers see continuity.

To switch freight agent programs, compare the economics and infrastructure of your current program to the alternative, have the new brokerage model your book with their pricing and splits, then run a structured transition that sets up carriers, replicates pricing and moves customer credit — typically over about 30 days, so your customers see continuity.

What to compare before you switch

Look past the headline split at the whole picture: commission, bad-debt withholding, payment frequency, customer-ownership terms, technology, carrier network, credit, claims and operational support — plus any non-solicit or contract terms in your current agreement.

How the transition works

  • Model the book — Armstrong reviews your lanes, volumes and customers and shows the numbers with Armstrong pricing and splits before any commitment.
  • Set up carriers & pricing — replicate the pricing your customers expect so nothing skips a beat.
  • Move customer credit — Armstrong carries the credit risk and stands up billing.
  • Go live with support — first-shipment support and weekly settlements from week one.

Review your current employment or agent agreement — including non-solicitation and non-compete terms — with qualified counsel before moving. This page is educational and is not legal advice.
