Our splits are based on production, and we pay agents every two weeks on invoiced shipments.

Freight agent earnings depend on your book of customers since you are paid a split of the gross profit on your business. As a high-end example, some of our top agents make $100k-300k per month in gross profit, resulting in a net payout of $50-100k+ per month.

When you become a GlobalTranz freight agent, you’re backed by WWEX Group — which brings together the capabilities, buying power and technology of GlobalTranz, Worldwide Express and Unishippers. Together, we are unmatched in our ability to help customers eliminate roadblocks, scale quickly, and unlock new opportunities for their business and their customers.

These three WWEX Group companies remain separate. However, if there were to be a potential customer conflict, it would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Interested in learning more about our company? Visit the Why GlobalTranz page.
