Build Your Freight Business With Sims Global Solutions
You’ve spent years building customer relationships, developing your book of business, and learning how to sell and move freight. Now you need the right platform behind you.
Sims Global Solutions is looking for experienced freight agents and transportation sales professionals who want the freedom of running their own business with the technology, carrier network, operational support, and financial resources of an established 3PL behind them.

You bring the relationships. We provide the platform.
Two Ways to Partner With Sims
