Independent Freight Agents

Open Trade Logistics is an outstanding choice for independent contractors looking to grow their business and deliver the best service possible.

As an Open Trade Logistics Independent Agent, you build new customer relationships and move our customers freight; Open Trade Logistics handles the carrier and shipper administration, and retains a fee for this work. This allows you to do what you do best - arrange for the movement of your customer's freight and provide superior service. Read on for what sets us apart.

This is not a side hustle - DO NOT APPLY if this is not going to be your full-time activity
