**Join Somerset Logistics as an Independent Freight Agent**
Somerset Logistics, a **veteran-owned brokerage** with 24 years of experience, is looking for motivated **Independent Freight Agents **to join our team! Headquartered in Murfreesboro, TN, and with offices nationwide, we offer top-notch transportation solutions to a wide range of clients, from **Fortune 500 companies** to local businesses.
At Somerset, we pride ourselves on **integrity**, **customer service excellence**, and **long-lasting relationships** with our clients, carriers, and agents. Being **100% debt-free**, we provide the **financial stability** you need to focus on growing your success.
**_Does your current brokerage offer the following?_**
* **Do you earn 70% commissions? **– With Somerset, what you see is what you get. You’ll never have to watch out for hidden fees, tricky contract language, complicated commission plans, or other “gotcha” tactics. We offer excellent freight agent support, a straightforward 70/30 commission split, and help when you need it. It’s who we are, and it's been that way for 25 years.
* **Are you internally competing for shippers?** We have low agent and customer saturation. As they say, quality over quantity. We take pride in partnering with agents who align with our core values, ensuring a more meaningful and impactful collaboration.
* **Is your brokerage becoming too corporate?** For nearly 25 years, Somerset Logistics continues to be an agent focused, family operated business. As some brokerages push to become more corporate, their agents can get lost in the mix. No outside investors are calling the shots here. If you are experiencing unsettling changes due to a change in ownership, whether that is outside investment or being purchased by a larger company, give us a call.
* **Do you receive 24/7 quality agent support?** The job of a freight agent can be difficult and exhausting without the right support. Somerset Logistics believes premier support for our agents isn’t just good business, it’s the right thing to do. We take care of our agents by letting you focus on what you do best in servicing your customers, while we provide top-notch support to put you ahead of the competition.
* **Does your vote count at your brokerage?** It does at Somerset. Although we’ve been in business for 25 years, we aren’t stuck in our ways. We actively seek input from our agents, valuing their feedback and suggestions to help drive mutual success.
**Responsibilities**
* Negotiate freight rates and contracts with carriers to optimize transportation costs.
* Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients to ensure repeat business.
* Plan and coordinate logistics for shipments, ensuring timely delivery.
* Utilize transportation management systems to track shipments and manage data entry.
* Generate leads and manage accounts to expand the customer base.
