Agent Advocate is a platform I created to help freight agents cut through the smoke and mirrors and compare agent programs apples‑to‑apples, side by side, based on what actually matters to them—not who has the loudest sales pitch. Agents can see multiple programs next to each other—comp, fees, support, tech, contract terms, Mode, tech, exclusivity, size and risk—in a clear, consistent format instead of guessing based on who has the largest marketing budget. The data comes from in‑depth analysis of 130+ agent programs and 80+ data points per program, plus real conversations and my own experience as a former agent. No pressure. No favorites. No pay‑to‑play. No logos. Just data and transparency so agents can make informed decisions and avoid bad surprises.
