Renewed Momentum: Club 250 and More
This has been a year of transformation for Tallgrass, filled with finding new ways to serve our freight agents and help them grow bigger and better brokerages. Here are some of the internal updates and wins we’re celebrating for 2024:
Our New Mission, Vision and Values
Success in any business starts with a sturdy foundation, which is why our leadership took the time to reflect and revisit our core values as a freight brokerage this year. We recently unveiled our new mission, vision and values to the team and the public at large, demonstrating our commitment to helping every freight agent who joins Tallgrass reach their full potential.
Launching Club 250
Tallgrass is where the best in freight come to work and play, and these driven freight agents love a challenge! That’s why we decided this year to take the ever-popular Club 200 and level it up to Club 250! With how our freight agents just kept on crushing their goals and challenging us to take things up a notch, we knew it was time to motivate our agents to reach further and take bigger risks. Our Club 250 celebration in Las Vegas was a testament to how well our agents rose to the challenge!
Roundtable 2.0
Up and coming in the land of Tallgrass is our brand new Agent Roundtable experience: Roundtable 2.0! With so many freight agents running multi-million dollar brokerages at Tallgrass these days, we realized we needed to provide support for those agents scaling and running freight teams rather than just the solo agents. Roundtable 2.0 is part of how we’re doing that, by bringing together our most successful agents to speak into the businesses of those looking to take things to the next level.
Amplifying our CRM
It’s no secret that we love our groundbreaking CRM at Tallgrass Freight. It’s built in-house, it’s made with our agents’ specific needs in mind and we’re constantly updating it with new features to make the system even more valuable to freight agents and their customers. And 2024 has brought many exciting new features to life. Our CRM helps agents simplify their work and make more money, and every upgrade to the system takes things to new heights.

It’s no secret that the freight market is a challenging place to be right now, but we haven’t let that slow us down at Tallgrass!
