1099 Independent Freight Agent

Build Your Freight Business With Sims Global Solutions

You’ve spent years building customer relationships, developing your book of business, and learning how to sell and move freight. Now you need the right platform behind you.

Sims Global Solutions is looking for experienced freight agents and transportation sales professionals who want the freedom of running their own business with the technology, carrier network, operational support, and financial resources of an established 3PL behind them.

This is not a traditional sales job. This is an opportunity to build and grow your own freight business while partnering with a privately owned logistics company that is invested in long-term relationships.

You bring the relationships. We provide the platform.

Two Ways to Partner With Sims

We offer two 1099 agent models designed around how you want to run your business:

Cradle-to-Grave Freight Agent

For experienced agents who want to manage their customers and freight from start to finish. You maintain control of your customer relationships and day-to-day business while leveraging Sims' technology, carrier network, transportation capabilities, and financial resources.

Freight Sales Agent

For experienced sales professionals who want to focus primarily on developing customers, selling freight, and growing revenue while Sims handles the operational side. Our Operations, Carrier Sales, Customer Onboarding, Billing, Claims, Credit, and support teams handle the day-to-day execution.

Why Partner With Sims Global Solutions?

Build Your Own Business

You are not joining a traditional W2 sales team. You are building your own book of business and customer relationships with the support of an established logistics company behind you.

An Unsaturated Agent Network

We are not trying to build the largest agent network possible. Sims is selective about the agents we partner with, which means

fewer agents competing for the same opportunities and more room to develop your business.

Full-Service Transportation Capabilities

Your customers can access a broad range of transportation solutions, including:

• Truckload
• LTL
• Heavy Haul
• Over Dimensional
• Expedited
• Intermodal
• Drayage
• Warehousing
• Cross-Docking
• International Freight
• Air Freight
• Ocean Freight
• White Glove
• Specialized Transportation

Through our sister company, Kodiak Freight, Sims also has access to company-owned heavy haul and specialized transportation assets.

Technology Built Around Freight

Agents have access to the technology and tools needed to build and manage a modern freight business, including TAI TMS, HubSpot CRM, ZoomInfo, shipment tracking and visibility tools, market intelligence, carrier sourcing resources, pricing and quoting tools, and reporting.

Experienced Support Teams

You don't have to handle everything yourself. Depending on your agent model, Sims provides support across:

• Operations
• Carrier Sales
• Customer Onboarding
• Client Success
• Claims
• Credit
• Accounting
• Carrier Compliance
• IT
• Marketing
• Heavy Haul and Permitting

Financial and Credit Support

Sims provides credit resources, billing and collections support, and insured receivables to help protect your customer relationships and keep the financial side of the business moving.

Direct Access to Leadership

Sims is privately owned and independently operated. You won't be one of thousands of agents in a massive network. Our leadership team remains directly involved in the business and accessible to our agents.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for experienced freight professionals who have already built relationships and understand what it takes to develop and maintain a transportation book of business.

Ideal candidates will have:

• Experience as a freight agent, freight broker, transportation sales professional, or similar role
• An established and transferable book of business
• Experience selling Truckload, LTL, or other transportation services
• Strong customer and shipper relationships
• Understanding of freight pricing, margins, and customer expectations
• Experience developing new business and prospecting
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• Ability to manage a pipeline and customer relationships independently
• Entrepreneurial mindset and desire to build a business
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment
• A track record of building and maintaining long-term customer relationships

An established book of business and meaningful freight industry experience are strongly preferred.

This opportunity is designed for experienced professionals who have already built something and are looking for the right platform to take it further.

What This Opportunity Is Not

• This is not a traditional W2 sales position
• This is not a salary-plus-commission sales job
• This is not an operations-only or dispatch position
• This is not an opportunity for someone looking to enter freight with no industry experience or customer base
• This is not a high-volume agent network where you're competing with hundreds of other agents for the same customers

You are building your own business, but you are not doing it alone.

Why Sims?

There are plenty of companies offering freight professionals a 1099 opportunity.

Our goal isn't to simply give you another place to hang your license.

Sims Global Solutions is a privately owned, full-service 3PL built around relationships, responsive service, technology, and solving transportation problems. We provide the infrastructure and resources behind your business while giving experienced agents the independence to build their own customer base.

We are selectively expanding our nationwide agent network and looking for experienced freight professionals who want a long-term partnership.
