What is an Agency Agreement?

An agency agreement is a contract between a shipping company or freight carrier and an agent or agency that represents the company in a particular geographic area or market.  

The agency agreement typically outlines the terms and conditions of the relationship between the company and the agent, including the scope of the agent’s responsibilities, the commission or fees paid to the agent, and any other relevant terms. 

Agents may be responsible for a wide range of activities on behalf of the shipping company or freight carrier, including marketing and sales, customer service, and logistics and transportation coordination.
