Carrier setup: become a Summit Link carrier partner
Working with us
What carrier partners can expect
The Summit Link Way applies to carriers as much as shippers: integrity, proactive communication, respect, shared ownership and follow-through.
Accurate load details
Weights, dimensions, appointments and handling notes, right the first time.
The rate we agreed
Rates confirmed in writing before you roll. No surprises after the fact.
A real person to reach
Direct, respectful communication with people who know the load.
Partners, not a commodity
We treat drivers and dispatchers the way we want to be treated, load after load.

Check a broker before you haul
Double brokering and freight fraud hurt carriers first. Before you take a load from any broker, check their authority on FMCSA SAFER and confirm you are dealing with the real company.
Our email addresses end in @summitlink.biz. If anyone claiming to be Summit Link contacts you from another domain, call us before you haul. Read how we vet carriers and our operating authority.
