I am a Freight Flex agent

Ethan Cole

I have nine years of experience coordinating project freight across Texas and surrounding energy markets. I work primarily with flatbed, heavy haul, overdimensional and project cargo, where careful preparation, the right equipment and accountable communication make the difference.

Why Freight Flex

Why I ride with Flex.

I ride with Flex because complex freight needs more than a rate and a truck. Freight Flex gives me access to experienced support, vetted capacity and the tools to plan every detail while I remain directly accountable to the customer throughout the move.

How I Support You

My service. Backed by Flex.

I stay accountable for your shipment while Freight Flex gives me the compliance resources, technology and carrier network to support it properly.

I Start With Vetted Capacity

Before I tender your freight, I work from a qualified carrier pool vetted by Freight Flex's 24/7 U.S.-based Motor Carrier Compliance team.

I Track and Protect Every Shipment

I use Freight Flex shipment-security tools, including Highway Load Lock VIN verification and live tracking, to stay accountable from pickup through delivery.

I Close the Loop Quickly

I stay involved after delivery while carrier charges are audited, additions are communicated and the freight file moves toward a clean close.

How I Match Your Freight

I choose every carrier for your load.

Passing compliance is the floor, not the finish line. From the qualified Freight Flex network, I match every shipment on four factors.

Price

I look for competitive rates from carriers that actually run your lanes, not bait numbers that change when the truck reaches the dock.

Speed

I match transit to your deadline and confirm capacity before you commit, from standard truckload through team-expedited service.

Reliability

I choose carriers with the safety record, equipment and operating history to arrive on time and deliver without unnecessary drama.

Fit

I match the equipment and carrier experience to the freight itself, from reefer requirements and flatbed securement to airport-compliant drivers.

The Network Behind Me

I earn better capacity by treating carriers right.

I work within a Freight Flex network built on strong carrier relationships, reliable payment practices and a team that answers around the clock.
