Not all freight agent jobs are created equal. But you probably already knew that. Some companies talk a big game about culture, support and opportunity, but then when it comes down to it, the reality is office politics, sketchy comp plans and leaving you to fend for yourself.
That’s not how we roll. At Tallgrass Freight, we’ve built something different. Something better. What do freight agent jobs truly look like at Tallgrass? If you’re exploring freight agent jobs that actually deliver on their promises, it’s time to see what life at TGF is really all about.
Work Hard. Play Hard. (We Mean It.)
We don’t just slap “work hard, play hard” on our website and call it a day. We live it. Our independent freight agents are driven, ambitious and the hardest workers around. But Tallgrass agents also know how to celebrate wins and enjoy the ride.
From our softball team and Splash Bash to mentorship and friendly competitions, fun and camaraderie are woven into the core of who we are. We believe freight agent jobs should be demanding and rewarding, challenging and enjoyable. Because when you’re part of a tight-knit group that has your back, work becomes more than just a daily grind. It feels like being part of something bigger.
“I love the family atmosphere here,” one of our agents, Steve, shares. “Everyone works so well together, and it’s not something you see often in a larger company like this. Everyone has each other’s backs.”
Rewards Programs That Actually Wow
Sure, plenty of companies offer rewards programs. But let’s talk about what makes ours the cream of the crop. At TGF, we celebrate achievements both financially and through industry-leading perks that reflect the hard work our independent agents put in every single day.
Hit $250,000+ in gross profits over the calendar year? Welcome to Club 250! If our agents aren’t settling for average results, then we won’t settle for average rewards. Our most recent celebration took top performers to Mexico’s stunning Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya for an all-inclusive getaway complete with ocean views, poolside gatherings, and unforgettable memories. And want to know the reason why we reward our agents based on gross profit, and not just top-line revenue? Because we want as many of our agents to be rewarded for their success as possible. We’re headed to Punta Cana in 2026, and we’re already looking forward to an epic freight award celebration.
If you generate $500,000+ in gross margin, you’ll earn a spot in our Diamond Club, which comes with a $5,000 Delta Airlines travel voucher and a $3,000 Marriott travel voucher. We love seeing where our Diamond Club members choose to explore next.
And for the absolute ballers producing $1 million+ in gross margin? That’s Elite Circle territory. We’re talking a trip for two to any event, anywhere in the world. Whether it’s hiking Machu Picchu, courtside seats at the NBA finals or a private safari in Tanzania, nothing is off the table. The best people deserve the best rewards. It’s as simple as that.
Freight Agent Jobs with Real Growth & Development
Freight agent jobs at Tallgrass come with something you won’t find anywhere else: genuine investment in your growth. We don’t just throw you into an onboarding program and wish you luck. Instead, we weave education, mentorship and professional development into everything we do.
Our President, Sean Richardson, and VP of Growth and Development, Bob Brown, as well as our Director of Agent Development Jordan Brady, work closely with agents to help them devise a blueprint for success — not just in their first 90 days, but for the long haul. From daily planning and sales strategies to overcoming hurdles and expanding your book of business, our leadership team is accessible and invested in your wins.
We also host our Agent Roundtable, bringing freight agents from across the country together for a mastermind weekend of professional development. The Roundtable is all about learning, collaborating and elevating their game. Agents leave rejuvenated and ready to fine-tune their business. Want to expand your team? We’ve got you covered. Need to refine your customer service approach? We’ll tackle it together.
Back Office Support That Actually Supports You
Here’s what freight agent jobs shouldn’t require: spending your entire day bogged down by administrative tasks, tech issues or billing headaches. At TGF, our back office support team handles carrier relations, claims, tech support, collections management, and everything in between, so you can focus on what really matters: growing your book and strengthening customer relationships.
As one of our agents, Garrett, shares: “The back office is really responsive and very quick. Their guidance with different claim processes, pulling insurances, DOT setups — things like that — is incredibly helpful for making any changes we need on the fly. They also just do a great job of supporting us and making sure we have everything we need to be successful.”
And the Tallgrass CRM is yet another way our agents are supported. Unlike any other freight agent CRM, ours is built in-house, developed with our agents’ specific needs in mind. Even better? We’re constantly updating our CRM with new features to make the system even more valuable to freight agents and their customers.
The Ultimate Flexibility
Flexibility matters in any freight agent job. Whether you thrive in our collaborative office environment or prefer the freedom of working remotely, we support both. Our agents have the autonomy to craft their ideal work-life balance because we believe in empowering our people to build not just successful businesses, but the lifestyles they deserve.
This Is What Freight Agent Jobs Should Be
Joining our agent network is about more than moving loads and hitting numbers (though that’s certainly a part of it). It’s really about is being part of a culture that values you as a person, invests in your success, and celebrates your wins. We treat our agents like family, because that’s exactly what they are.
