# Freight Broker - Logistics & Transportation Sales

> AlphaHire · Glenwood, United States · Full-time · Posted 2026-06-16

**Salary:** USD 72,000–75,000

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

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.
