Launching independent truckload brokerage agent program
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- MIQ Logistics, formerly YRC Logistics, is expanding its Truckload Services by launching an independent agent program throughout the United States and Canada. The program will help the company expand market presence, increase sales and provide new opportunities for truckload services.
