  • Exceptional phone skills and clear, professional communication
  • Computer savvy (TMS systems, load boards, spreadsheets, email)
  • Self‑motivation with strong follow‑through and time management
  • Knowledge of lanes, equipment types, and rate structures
  • Bonus: Existing book of freight and carrier relationships (not required—we’ll consider driven pros ready to build their base)

  • Job Type: Full‑time

Benefits

  • 401(k) with 100% matching on 4% (plus immediate vesting)
