• Prospect, develop, and close new domestic freight opportunities
• Manage customer relationships from initial contact through ongoing account growth
• Quote lanes, negotiate rates, and secure freight
• Coordinate and manage shipments cradle-to-grave or tender loads to internal operations, depending on preference
• Work with a network of carriers including 3PL and asset-based providers
• Maintain visibility, communication, and service standards with customers
• Own your pipeline, revenue, and growth trajectory

• Hunter mentality with the ability to self-generate business
• Comfortable operating independently in a 1099 structure

Nice to Have

• Existing book of business
• Multi-modal exposure

Benefits

Why This RoleThis is not a starter role. It is a high-autonomy, high-upside opportunity for freight professionals who want control over their income, flexibility in how they operate, and the ability to scale without artificial ceilings.
