Happy Halloween! Every fright agent — oops, freight agent! — has a few horror stories that still send chills down their spine! . . .

👻 The carrier who disappeared right before pickup.
💀 The rate confirmation that came back with one more surprise fee.
🎃 The supposedly “quick” load that turned into 47 emails and three phone calls.
🕸️ The customer who says, “We need it there yesterday.”

In the freight world, challenges are bound to happen. But we think the scariest story of all is what happens when you're not supported. There's nothing spookier than struggling solo.

Thankfully, not every freight story has to end in a nightmare. Ready to put the scary stuff behind you? Let's talk! (No tricks, we promise!)

No two freight agent careers look exactly alike, and that’s the way we think it should be. Some agents come to Tallgrass with an established book of business. Others are building from the ground up. Some are ready to grow a team on day one, while others take time to get there.

Chelsea and Maclain Marsh are a great example of what that journey can look like. After nearly a decade at his previous brokerage, Maclain and Chelsea launched Mallard, their own agency under the Tallgrass umbrella. Today, they’ve grown their team and made the leap from freight agents to business owners. Read more about their success story:

Our annual Agent Roundtable brought Tallgrass agents from across the country together in Kansas City for two packed days of learning from industry experts and, just as importantly, from each other. Newer agents got to learn from veterans with million-dollar books, while seasoned agents were challenged to think even bigger.

And of course, we had to cap it off with a Royals game. The score may not have gone our way, but we still walked away feeling like winners.

Nobody leaves the Roundtable the same way they walked in. See what the Tallgrass Agent Roundtable is all about, and why it's unlike any other professional development experience in the freight world.

Preston didn’t get into freight with a master plan. But after years of building freight teams and growing customer relationships at other brokerages, he knew it was time to build something of his own. Since joining Tallgrass, Preston has grown his book of business from zero to a half-million-dollar operation in under two years, with a growing team and the support of a back office he can count on.

"So far, Tallgrass has exceeded all of my expectations,” Preston says. "My account matters here. I matter here.

Agents who offer LTL services position themselves as more than just another freight option. They position themselves as a true partner.

Because LTL is relationship-driven, it creates opportunities to become a trusted supply chain resource for customers — strengthening existing relationships while opening the door to new ones.

For Tallgrass agents, adding LTL means another solution to bring to the table, another way to add value and another avenue for growth. It means more solutions, more value and more business.

That’s why we’re leaning into LTL, equipping our agents to offer this powerful service to their customers. Learn more about the benefits LTL can bring to your business: https://tallgrassfreight.com/benefits-of-our-ltl-program-for-agents-businesses/
