**TRE Dictionary**

## Agent

An **agent** is a moving company or service provider operating within a larger van-line or carrier network under an agency relationship.

### In plain English

The local company may sell, book, pack, load, deliver, store, or otherwise service a move under the broader network.

### Why it matters

Origin agent, destination agent, booking agent, and hauling agent responsibilities can differ, so the specific role should be clear.

### TRE common-language definition

> **Agent:** A local or regional moving company authorized to perform defined services within a larger carrier or van-line network.
