Agents working under Somerset still receive the same freight agent program benefits they expect, while also gaining access to the infrastructure required for military and government-related freight opportunities.

Carrier vetting is important in every area of freight brokerage, but military freight raises the standard significantly. Carriers moving military freight often require:
Carrier information must stay accurate, current, and properly maintained.
Ongoing monitoring and documentation
When approvals are needed, the goal is to handle them efficiently while still maintaining the standards required for government-related freight.
Carrier vetting is handled by our experienced onboarding and compliance team using established vetting tools and systems designed to help agents move freight without unnecessary delays.
