The company handles everything from FTL and LTL to intermodal, expedited, specialized, and oversized freight, and is now in an active hiring phase to support continued growth. This is not a role for someone looking to punch a clock. Our client is building something, and they want carrier sales reps who want to be part of that build. The culture is team-oriented and performance-driven, and the team is small enough that every person's contribution is visible and valued.

Commission is uncapped, growth opportunities are real, and the company's trajectory is pointed in one direction. If you are a carrier sales professional who is tired of the noise at a large brokerage and wants to do meaningful work at a company that will recognize your contributions, our client is worth a conversation.
