About the role

We are hiring an experienced Freight Broker to develop new shipper relationships, grow a profitable book of business, and manage transportation services from initial quote through final delivery.

This is a full-cycle logistics sales role—not an account support or carrier-only position. You will be responsible for prospecting new customers, closing business, negotiating rates, coordinating freight, protecting margins, and building long-term client relationships.

The ideal candidate has direct freight brokerage or transportation sales experience and understands both sides of the business: generating revenue and ensuring each shipment is executed successfully. This opportunity offers significant autonomy and uncapped earning potential for a broker who is motivated by measurable results.

Responsibilities

  • Prospect and secure new shipper accounts through cold calling, email outreach, networking, referrals, and relationship development
  • Build, manage, and expand a profitable book of business
  • Identify customer shipping needs and develop competitive transportation solutions
  • Prepare freight quotes and negotiate rates with customers and carriers
  • Source and qualify carriers based on pricing, capacity, reliability, and service requirements
  • Manage shipments from booking and pickup through tracking, delivery, and final issue resolution
  • Monitor market conditions, lane pricing, capacity, and margin opportunities
  • Maintain consistent communication with customers and carriers throughout each shipment
  • Resolve service failures, delays, claims, and operational challenges quickly and professionally
  • Track prospecting activity, revenue, gross profit, margins, and account performance within CRM and transportation systems
  • Grow existing accounts through repeat business, additional lanes, and expanded transportation services
  • Maintain accountability for customer retention, shipment execution, revenue production, and gross profit

Requirements

  • 2+ years of freight brokerage, logistics sales, or transportation sales experience
  • Direct experience prospecting for new business and closing shipper accounts
  • Strong understanding of freight markets, carrier sourcing, lane pricing, and margin management
  • Ability to manage the complete freight lifecycle from quote through final delivery
  • Proven negotiation, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and maintain consistent outbound sales activity
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple customers and active shipments
  • Comfortable working in a performance-based environment with clearly defined revenue and margin expectations
  • Direct freight brokerage or logistics industry experience required; general sales experience without transportation exposure will not be considered

Benefits

  • $72,000 draw, approximately $1,500 per week
  • Commission of up to 20% of gross profit
  • Uncapped earning potential
  • Health insurance and benefits package
  • Retirement plan options
  • Paid time off

This opportunity is best suited for an experienced Freight Broker who wants control over their sales pipeline, earning potential, customer relationships, and long-term account growth.

Perks & benefits

  • Medical Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
