Whether you’re leaving a large brokerage or starting from scratch, NexMile gives you the operating authority, technology platform, carrier network, and training to build a freight business on your terms.
Start at 50% and progress to 70% as you grow. Most large brokerages cap at 50 55%. At NexMile, your earnings scale with your performance through five clearly defined tiers.
No desk fees. No monthly minimums. No technology charges. NexMile provides the operating authority, TMS, CRM, load boards, carrier network, and back office support. You focus on moving freight and building relationships.
Our AI pricing engine generates competitive quotes in under 5 minutes. Automated tracking, carrier matching, and document management free you from the busywork that slows other brokers down.
Your commission rate grows as you hit load count and revenue thresholds. Every tier is earned not negotiated.
| Tier | Level | Commission Split | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Apprentice 1 | 50% Agent / 50% NexMile | Entry level for Standard and Verified Experience tracks |
| Tier 2 | Apprentice-2 | 55% Agent / 45% NexMile | — |
| Tier 3 | Journeyman-1 | 60% Agent / 40% NexMile | Entry level for Academy Graduates |
| Tier 4 | Journeyman-2 | 65% Agent / 35% NexMile | — |
| Tier 5 | Full Broker Authority (FBA) | 70% Agent / 30% NexMile | Top performance level |
Each tier requires meeting BOTH load count AND revenue thresholds. Tier advancement is based on performance, not tenure.
Note: Build this as a visual table or stair step graphic. Each tier should feel like a milestone, not just a row in a spreadsheet.
For brokers with some experience or those transitioning from another industry. Start at Apprentice 1 (50%) and progress through all five tiers based on performance. Full training and mentorship provided.
Complete the NexMile Academy training program and enter the agent network at Journeyman 1 (60%) bypassing the two Apprentice tiers. The Academy covers freight operations, sales methodology, technology platform, and compliance.

New to freight brokerage? Our Academy program takes you from zero experience to a fully trained agent ready to book loads and build customer relationships. The curriculum covers freight operations, sales methodology, technology platform training, compliance, and real world load execution.
Academy graduates enter the agent network at Journeyman 1 (60% commission) — skipping the two Apprentice tiers entirely.
The Academy is a separate business entity from NexMile Logistics. Tuition is independent and is never deducted from agent commissions.
Step 1: We review your application within 48 hours.
Step 2: A member of the NexMile team will contact you to schedule a discovery call.
Step 3: If we’re a mutual fit, we’ll walk you through the onboarding process, technology setup, and your first load.
“We’re selective because our agents represent NexMile’s name on every load. We’re looking for people who are hungry, coachable, and committed to building something real.”
