What You’ll Do

• Source and onboard qualified carriers for various dry van, flatbed, and specialized freight opportunities.
• Build and maintain strong daily relationships with owner-operators, small fleets, and larger carrier partners.
• Cover customer freight by identifying appropriate carrier capacity, negotiating competitive rates, and confirming pickup and delivery requirements.
• Negotiate carrier pricing while maintaining high service quality, meeting margin expectations, and market conditions.
• Use load boards, carrier databases, phone outreach, and referrals to develop new carrier relationships.
• Track loads from pickup through delivery and proactively resolve service issues, delays, detention, layovers, missed appointments, and other exceptions.
• Work closely with customer sales representatives and operations staff to ensure freight is covered accurately and efficiently.
• Maintain complete and accurate notes, rate confirmations, carrier information, and activity records in the Transportation Management System (TMS).
• Monitor freight market trends, lane pricing, capacity conditions, and carrier performance.
• Develop repeat carrier partnerships on key lanes to improve service consistency.

What We’re Looking For

• Prior experience in freight brokerage, carrier sales, dispatch, transportation operations, or logistics is preferred but not required.
• Strong phone-based sales, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls and following up consistently.
• Ability to work with urgency, prioritize competing shipments, and remain composed during service disruptions.
• Working knowledge of truckload freight and carrier equipment types is preferred.
• Familiarity with load boards, transportation management systems, and Microsoft Office.
• Strong attention to detail, especially with pickup numbers, appointment times, equipment requirements, rate confirmations, and compliance documents.
• Self-motivated, coachable, competitive, and accountable for results.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate’s or bachelor’s degree is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• 1+ years of carrier sales, freight brokerage, dispatch, or transportation experience.
• Existing carrier relationships or experience developing capacity in specific regions, lanes, or equipment categories.
• Experience using platforms such as DAT, Truckstop, McLeod, MercuryGate, Tai, AscendTMS, or similar systems.
• Understanding of carrier onboarding, insurance requirements, safety scores, and fraud-prevention practices.
• Experience handling high-volume spot freight or time-sensitive shipments.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary with team-based bonus structure.
• Clear performance expectations and advancement opportunities.
• Training, coaching, and support from experienced logistics professionals.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• IRA with company match.
• A high-energy, team-oriented environment where performance and initiative are recognized.
