Building the Premier Agent-based Business
Fulmer Brothers is actively building one the most progressive agent-based transportation companies in the country. We are currently expanding our agent platform to meet the needs of our customers. When you become a Fulmer Brothers agent you benefit from over four decades of experience in the trucking and logistics industry. Each agent we add to the network is considered integral to the long-term success of the company. Unlike most asset-based trucking companies, Fulmer Brothers relies on its agents to work hand-in-hand with owner-operators to deliver.
Prior to becoming an agent, we work with you to determine whether we can offer you a fair and mutually rewarding partnership. What does that mean? It means not only fair compensation but the potential to significantly add revenue and profits to your base of business. As a Certified Jigsaw Agent™ you will have access to an advanced set of tools and services that continues to grow. Most importantly, you can access the entire Fulmer Brothers network of capacity and freight while also working with a group of seasoned professionals that share many of the business objectives you strive to achieve.

Some the Reasons why Agents are Enrolling in the Fulmer Brothers Program:
Fulmer Brothers Solves an Agent's Everyday Back Office Issues:
Fulmer Brothers handles many of the everyday operating issues for its agents, such as Department of Transportation regulation, inter-modal agreements, insurance requirements, Customs bonding, equipment rental and fuel programs. In addition, Fulmer Brothers provides accounting and other process support through its Jigsaw technology platform.
Fulmer Brothers helps Build Profits and Revenue Diversification:
Fulmer Brothers actively works with its agents to increase revenue. We provide our agents access to increased equipment capacity, customers, and higher-margin freight volume. The Fulmer Brothers team organizes, monitors, and controls this information resulting in continuous agent optimization.
Offering Expansion and Sponsorship Opportunities:
Fulmer Brothers supports its agents by equipping specified agency terminals with computers, telephone system and office equipment. By providing a turn-key solution, veteran agents can make a transition from his or her old carrier to Fulmer Brothers with minimal delay.
Provide Access to Qualified Independent Contractors:
A major problem for agents is the high turn-over of independent owner/operators, which generally exceeds 100% annually throughout the industry. Fulmer Brothers is actively recruiting higher caliber owner/operators and making its owner/operators more profitable.
Recruiting Program.
Fulmer Brothers has an intense contractor and driver recruitment program nationwide. This serves as a support arm for local agents. Agents spend less time recruiting and able to focus on increasing sales penetration in the local market.
A Focuses on Safety.
Fulmer Brothers's Safety Department is responsible for qualifying all drivers. On an ongoing basis, the Safety Department monitors driver logs and trips for compliance with federal safety regulations. At any time, the safety director can order a driver or a truck to be placed out of service for failure to conform to regulations.
Equity Incentives:
Fulmer Brothers's planned equity incentive program will provide profitable agents with ownership in the company. The transportation industry has thousands of self-employed agents who currently have no equity incentive plan.
