these are the most common questions posed to GTO 2000 regarding
our freight agent program.
Q: What does it mean to be an agent for GTO 2000, Inc.?
A: You are a contract broker (or "agent") for GTO
2000, Inc., in business for yourself, operating under GTO 2000's
corporate umbrella.
That means you would operate under our Authority as a transportation
broker, be covered under our Surety Bond, and be covered
under our Cargo and Liability Insurance.

Q: How do I get paid and what is the freight broker agent
pay / salary?
A: Agents are paid weekly commissions by direct deposit into
your bank account. Your commission is based on a percentage
of the gross profit of invoiced loads for the previous week.
A report will be sent to you weekly showing the loads that
were billed and the commissions to be paid to you. You would
verify the information, after which the funds would be deposited
to your bank account by the end of the week. Your salary as
a freight agent is up to you as the more freight you move the
more money you can earn.

loads to move, plus a sterling record with thousands of carriers

lading AND invoice in the home office. We also offer "quick-pay"

moving any load. We evaluate your customer's creditworthiness
to make sure that your efforts will not go unpaid.
