A Note from Our Team

Our leadership was once exactly where you are now — early in a career, trying to figure out where we fit, and wanting a shot at something that grows. Somebody gave us a helping hand, and that's what we want to give you. We don't expect you to know freight on day one. We expect you to show up, work hard, and want to win. We'll teach you the rest.

What Does a Freight Agent Do?

A freight agent (also called a freight broker agent or logistics sales agent) connects businesses that need to ship products with trucking companies that have space to move them. You find shippers, quote their freight, book it with the right carrier, and build relationships that turn into repeat business. Over time, those relationships become your book of business — the customer base that drives your income.

Freight is a growing, essential industry. Every product on every shelf moved on a truck at some point. That means demand for good freight agents doesn't go away.

Full Operations Support Behind Every Quote and Shipment

The biggest reason new agents fail at other brokerages is simple: they're left alone. They spend their days tracking trucks, chasing paperwork, and fixing problems instead of selling. At X Logistics, that's not how it works.

  • Every quote is backed: our team helps you price freight accurately so you win business without losing money
  • Every shipment is backed: our in-house operations team handles dispatch, tracking, check calls, and delivery updates
  • Problems get solved: when a load runs late or a claim comes up, ops steps in so your customer stays happy
  • You stay focused on growth: more time selling and building relationships, less time buried in admin

That support is the same reason our customers see a 0.2% claim rate. Great service keeps customers, and kept customers build your book.

A Young, Enthusiastic — and Experienced — Team

We're a young group, but we're not new to freight. Our team has real experience moving LTL, FTL, expedited, flatbed, and import/export freight all over the country. We bring energy and hustle to every day, and we pair it with the know-how to do things right. If you want to work with people your age who take their careers seriously, this is the place.

We Understand the Tech That Grows a Book of Business

Freight is changing fast, and the agents who win are the ones who use technology well. Our team knows the tools — and we'll teach you how to use them to grow:

  • Cabo™ TMS: instant LTL and FTL quotes, booking, and live tracking on one platform
  • Priority1's carrier network: 47,000+ vetted carriers and negotiated rates
  • Modern prospecting: using LinkedIn, social media, CRM tools, and AI tools to find and follow up with shippers
  • Data-driven pricing: lane history and market data so your quotes are competitive and profitable
