Matson Logistics Agent Program

The best freight agent programs aren’t the biggest.

Large freight brokerage agencies bring resources, but they also bring challenges like internal competition, insufficient commissions and inconsistent back office services. The biggest opportunities are with mid-sized programs where you’re one of a few and advantages are within reach.

Right-sized for entrepreneurial logistics agents.

Matson Logistics provides a culture where you’ll be supported, well-compensated and in control of your success. The proof is that the majority of our agents have been with us over ten years and many retire with us.

You’re backed by a leading transportation provider.

Matson Logistics is part of a publicly traded $2 billion company with a 140-year history in multimodal transportation services. As a Matson Logistics agent, you’ll have the resources, the leverage, and the back office you need to compete and win.

You deserve a top commission split.

Our agents leverage Matson Logistics’ vast resources to perform agile feats for customers every day. They’re rewarded with commission splits that are at the top range in the industry and allow for unlimited earnings. We simply believe our valued team members deserve the best.

Tap into one of the largest highway carrier networks.

Matson Logistics connects you to a committed network of more than 52,000 highway and specialized carriers who have been preapproved. By spending less time scrambling to find capacity, you can boost your quantity of bookings and the quality of your service by matching the ideal carrier to the load.

No better place to be an intermodal broker agent.

With our industry-leading intermodal network and capabilities, you can take your book of clients—and business—to the next level. If you’re looking to start offering intermodal, Matson Logistics gives you what you need to create a new revenue stream: instant quotes, relationships with all the Tier 1 railroads and our dedicated 53-foot intermodal container fleet.
