Q: How do I get paid and what is the freight broker agent pay?

A: Agents are paid weekly commissions by direct deposit into your bank account. Your commission is based on a percentage of the gross profit of arrived loads for the previous week. A report would be sent to you weekly showing the loads that were billed and the commissions to be paid to you. You would verify the information, after which the funds would be deposited to your bank account by the end of the week. Your salary as a freight agent is up to you as the more freight you move the more money you can earn.

A: Yes. Interstate Logistics provides established agents with the dispatch software that has a database of more than 5,000 approved carriers.

Q: When do my carriers get paid?

A: Our normal terms are 30 days from receipt of the bills of lading AND invoice in the home office. We also offer "quick-pay" to select carriers for a nominal fee.

Q: What about fuel advances to carriers?

A: Yes we offer fuel advances to carriers via comchecks that are issued from the home office.

Q: How are my customers approved?

A: You submit a credit application for your customer prior to moving any load. We evaluate your customer's creditworthiness to make sure that your efforts will not go unpaid.
