Radiant Logistics Expands Horizons

Radiant Logistics, Inc., a prominent player in the logistics industry and listed on NYSE American as RLGT, has recently embarked on an exciting journey by launching a new independent agent program at Radiant Road & Rail. This program marks a significant extension of Radiant's agent-based growth model, which has been central to its freight forwarding business for over two decades. The initiative aims to cater to truck brokerage and intermodal markets, offering agency owners an opportunity to achieve long-term liquidity and ownership.

A Proven Legacy in Logistics

Since its inception in 2006 with the acquisition of Airgroup, Radiant has steadily built one of the industry's most respected agent networks, growing through strategic acquisitions such as Adcom Worldwide, Distribution By Air, and Service By Air. Over the years, it has successfully integrated dozens of independent agent locations across North America, providing owner-operators and independent sales professionals with unparalleled access to enterprise-grade technology, purchasing power, and back-office support. Notably, Radiant's agent model includes a compelling built-in exit strategy for agents.

Introducing the New Agent Program

The recently launched agent program at Radiant Road & Rail is designed to replicate the considerable success of Radiant's freight forwarding agent model within the agent-based truck brokerage ecosystem. With this program, agents gain access to a comprehensive array of services, including a robust carrier base along with a technology platform that supports tracking, quoting, and carrier management.

Moreover, the program significantly enhances agents' competitive advantage, allowing them to provide intermodal services combined with international air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and additional value-added services through the extensive Radiant network.

A Focus on Entrepreneurial Growth

Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO of Radiant Logistics, expressed his excitement about the new program. He stated, "Our goal at Radiant has always been to be the preferred platform for logistics entrepreneurs. For twenty years, we've achieved this by empowering our strategic operating partners. We firmly believe that our successful model can benefit the truck brokerage and intermodal space just as effectively."

Supporting this view, Chris Brach, SVP and GM of Radiant Road & Rail, emphasized the comprehensive offerings of the program, which are designed to give agents a significant edge in the competitive logistics landscape. With back-office support including billing and compliance, agents can concentrate on growing their businesses without the burden of administrative tasks.
