What Does a Freight Broker / Carrier Sales Do?

Prospecting and developing shipper relationships, sourcing carrier capacity for customer loads, negotiating freight rates, managing load coverage and execution, building and maintaining carrier relationships, and managing a book of freight business.

What We Screen For

2–6 years of freight brokerage or carrier sales experience, demonstrated book of business development, a verifiable carrier network, and strong negotiation and relationship skills. Experience with specific freight modes (FTL, LTL, intermodal) is often required.

💡 Hiring Insight

Freight brokers should be able to describe their current book in specific terms — annual revenue managed, lane specialisation, key shipper accounts, and core carrier relationships. Vague answers about 'managing accounts' are a red flag.

$50,000 – $110,000+
