Independent Freight Agent (1099) – Nationwide | Unlimited Earning Potential

If you’re an experienced Freight Agent with a transferable book of business, this is the platform that lets you scale it.   Sims Global Solutions is expanding our national 1099 Agent Network and looking for proven producers who want more support, more freedom, and more money in their pocket.

This is a 1099 Independent Contractor role for experienced Freight Agents only.

Why Top Agents Choose Sims Global Solutions

You operate as your own boss — but you’re never on your own.

We built an agent-first model with real operational support, industry-leading technology, and a completely unsaturated agent market. Our agents consistently grow their book 40–50% faster here than at many other 3PLs.

If you’re tired of:

• Slow carrier onboarding
• Limited support
• Outdated systems
• Commission structures that don’t reward your work

…you’ll feel the difference on day one.
