Pinnacle Freight for
Agents
Consider joining Pinnacle Freight Systems as an independent agent
We offer flexible agent compensation programs. We will design your commission based on your business volume and gross profit.
Pinnacle Freight
Pinnacle Freight Systems is an asset-based transportation provider offering full truckload and less than truckload service throughout the United States and Canada.
Through a network of company trucks, agencies, and contracted carriers, we provide solutions for shippers needing truckload capacity, temperature control, hazmat, and expedited transport.
The Pinnacle Agent Program
Not all AGENT programs are created equal. Here are some things that make us different:
- We are both asset and brokerage giving you the opportunity to open more doors with potential customers. This gives you many options for finding your customers the capacity they need.
- We have a support person with sales background assigned to only the agent network to help you grow your business and our operational software is easy to use.
- When you broker freight, you can give your customers the security they are looking for when the unfortunate claim situation occurs. Pinnacle Freight Systems cargo coverage is primary on every load. Your customer will only deal with us.
- We are not one of the giant brokerage houses with thousands of agents in every area. You will not be locked out of potential customers because it is coded to someone else.
It never hurts to have a conversation. I look forward to speaking to you. Please contact me at your convenience at 732-667-5261 Ext 120 or via email at ladams@pinnacletruck.com.

The desire for success
We are looking for Agents with solid customer connections. You can use your transportation experience to build the next phase of your career with unlimited earning potential. ALL YOU NEED IS THE DESIRE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
Independent Freight Agents run their own business, set their own pricing, and are supported by the corporate office located in Florence, New Jersey. Agents operate under the Pinnacle Authority and are covered by our insurance. Your operational responsibility ends when the load is in DELIVERED status and the carrier has provided us with a proof of delivery. The corporate office invoices the customer and pays the carrier.
We have a well-defined strategic approach for growth of our agent network. You will never be one of thousands or even hundreds of agents competing with other Pinnacle agents for the same customers.
If you have the ability to provide solutions by arranging freight transportation, we would like to discuss with you the opportunity to build your agency on our profitable and solid foundation. There is no investment needed and your agency can be operational in as little as a week.
