Seven years says a lot.

For Racquelle, being an independent agent with LDi has grown into something bigger than a business relationship. It’s the trust, support, and connections built along the way that have made LDi feel like family.

We’re proud to work with agents who build their businesses their way and become such an important part of ours.

In March, we looked at how fuel surcharges affect LTL shipping costs. With fluctuating diesel costs and uncertainty around where prices are headed, understanding fuel surcharges is even more important today.

When fuel changes between quote and pickup, it can affect the final cost—and the margin on that shipment. Keeping the applicable surcharge and quote terms in view helps everyone know what to expect.

Your book shouldn’t come with a ceiling.

You’ve already built the experience, relationships, and business. The question is whether your current setup still gives you room to grow, or whether you’ve reached someone else’s ceiling.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage, sacrifice, and humanity shown in the days that followed.

25 years later, we remember.

Thinking about becoming a freight broker but not sure where to start?

There’s a big difference between starting a career in freight brokerage and becoming an independent freight agent. Understanding that difference early can save you a lot of frustration.

We put together a practical look at how to get into the industry, what you should be learning along the way, how a real book of business is built, and when making the move to a 1099 agent model starts to make sense.

If freight brokerage is a career you’ve been considering, start here.
