Grow your freight sales agency with marketing, sales and back-office support
Running a successful freight business takes more than just working with customers and booking loads. Many of the back-office operations take away valuable time from freight agents. GlobalTranz offers comprehensive administrative support for payroll processing, vendor and carrier payments, claim filing, financial reporting and more so agents can focus on growing their business.
But even growing your business isn't something you have to do alone. GlobalTranz supports agents with marketing and sales to bring in new customers. Plus, leveraging the GlobalTranz name and brand can add credibility and help attract prospects.
When you are ready to grow your freight agency, lean on GlobalTranz for marketing and sales support, including:
- Customizable sales presentations
- Comprehensive sales collateral
- 24/7 operations support
- Dedicated customer service reps
"Working with GlobalTranz has allowed me to grow my business. I can serve customers better, set them up quickly and get answers fast. I don't see GlobalTranz as an employer. I see them as a partner. They are not there to tell me what to do [or] tell me how to do it — unless I ask. So having the support of the back-office at GlobalTranz has allowed me to focus on the customer, sales and getting the job done. GlobalTranz has all that figured out and they're constantly working behind the scenes to make sure I don't have to."
Continue to learn and develop your operational strategies
The logistics industry moves fast with the constant introduction of new trends, logistics technology and transportation solutions. GlobalTranz stays on top of the latest logistics industry trends and provides ongoing support and training to our agents.

You can leverage our subject matter experts as you expand your business into new services outside of your specialty, such as LTL, intermodal, expedited and more. We can assist with sales calls and strategy development.
GlobalTranz agents are also invited to attend our WWEX Group Partner Channel Conference freight agent conference, where you'll hear from industry leaders and network with other agents and GlobalTranz team members. You’ll walk away with insights and best practices for growing your business and delivering the best solution to customers.
