Are you an experienced freight professional with shipper relationships? TLI Express is looking for independent agents to help us grow our network. This commission-only role rewards you with a percentage of gross profit for each load you help us move. If you’re already working in the industry or have existing contacts who could benefit from our capacity, this is an excellent opportunity to earn additional income on your terms.
We’re not looking for rookies or trainees — this role is for transportation pros who already have a network of shippers & a book of business. Whether you’re an experienced freight broker, dispatcher, or logistics consultant, if you’ve got shippers who need reliable capacity in the Greater Pennsylvania area, we want to talk to you.
TLI Express is an independent asset-light subsidiary of Translogistics Inc., (TLI) backed by a strong reputation and experienced drivers. We have a reliable, high-performing fleet primarily based in Pennsylvania and surrounding regions. That makes us a perfect fit for shippers moving freight in or out of this area.
Flexible Partnership, Real Results
This role is designed with flexibility in mind. You don’t need to commit to a full-time schedule. Instead, we partner with agents who bring shipments that align with our network and driver locations. If you’ve got one shipper or one shipment that matches our strengths, we’re ready to reward you for it.
As an agent, you’ll earn a percentage of the gross profit on every load we move through your connection. We’re fully transparent about margins, and you’ll always know exactly what you’re earning. Our team handles the operations, so you can focus on relationships and growing your earnings.
We’re especially looking for opportunities that match our drivers’ home bases — largely in the Greater PA area. If you have freight moving in, out, or around that region, our coverage is strong, and our service is dependable. We’ll help you deliver results for your customers while you earn competitive commissions.
Specialized Hotshot Flatbed Equipment
At TLI Express, we utilize 40-foot Removable Gooseneck (RGN) hotshot flatbed trailers, specifically designed for efficient and reliable freight transportation. These trailers are typically hauled by dually pickup trucks, allowing for swift delivery and maneuverability, especially in areas where larger trucks may face challenges.
Our Big Tex 22GN-35+5MR trailers feature a low-profile pierced-beam frame, dual 10,000 lb axles, and a load capacity of up to 16,000 lbs. This setup is ideal for transporting oversized equipment, construction materials, and industrial machinery. The trailers are equipped with spring-assisted flip-over ramps and a 5-foot dovetail, facilitating ground-level loading even without a dock. This provides a great deal of versatility for shippers.
Additionally, we do indeed offer optional tarping services with 4’, 6’, and 8’ drop tarps to protect your freight from the elements. Our experienced drivers, often equipped with TWIC cards, are trained for secure and time-sensitive deliveries, covering up to 450-550 miles per day.

Operating out of Southeastern Pennsylvania, TLI Express serves the tri-state area—Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware—with precision and reliability. We also regularly deliver to surrounding regions such as New York, Delaware and Maryland. Our hotshot services are particularly beneficial for time-sensitive, smaller loads that require immediate attention. Whether it’s an urgent piece of equipment or a critical delivery, our hotshot service ensures fast, reliable delivery to meet your tight deadlines.

We understand the value of strong shipper relationships and respect the role agents play in driving success. That’s why we operate on a true partnership model — one that rewards your efforts and values your time.
You’ll get access to our in-house tools, support from our dispatch and operations team, and a clear, simple commission structure. No politics, no red tape — just a straight-up opportunity to earn based on what you bring to the table. We handle all the operations, tendering and scheduling. Simply establish relationships with shippers and we take care of the rest.
