MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

Five Star Freight Systems World Agency Network (FSFSWAN)

Criteria Overview

Sole Agency Network Accreditation

  • The FSFSWAN primarily operates a sole agency network policy for its members under the Five Star and PFI Networks
  • For the GSFN, an open network model applies. Sole agency rights do not extend to GSFN except under exceptional and previously agreed circumstances

Membership Internal Flexibility

  • FSFSWAN members may apply to join one of the network's internal sister networks
  • For instance, a PFI agent can seek membership in GSFN or Five Star

Sole Agency Rights

Compliance Requirements

  • Adherence to network rules and regulations is mandatory. Key obligations include:
  • Regular attendance of our annual network meeting
  • Reciprocal business cooperation with network partners
