How does the agent model work?
Dovtail’s independent freight agents partner with customers to deliver the best solutions for their logistics needs. We equip our agents with full back-office support, industry expertise, access to reliable capacity, and the strength of a trusted brand. Agents coordinate logistics plans, secure the right carriers, and maintain clear communication with customers every step of the way.
Unlimited Earnings.
Dovtail’s model is built to help freight agents grow without limits. We believe your hard work should be rewarded, not restricted. That’s why we offer a structure with no commission caps, no fine print, and no surprise changes.
Freedom to set your own priorities.

At Dovtail, we support independent agents who value flexibility, ownership, and the ability to build a business that fits their lifestyle.
