• Tracking and Reporting: Monitor shipment progress, provide updates to clients, and maintain accurate records of all transactions.
• Market Analysis: Keep abreast of market trends, industry developments, and competitive landscape to provide strategic insights.

What We’re Looking For:

• 2+ years of experience in freight brokerage (3PL preferred).
• Proven book of business with existing shipper relationships.
• Strong understanding of logistics operations, including FTL, LTL, and spot market dynamics.
• Driven, entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for growing accounts and closing deals.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Local to or willing to commute to South Plainfield, NJ.

What We Offer:

• A stable, growth-focused home base in a strategically located NJ office.
• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission structure.
• Operational and back-office support to help you scale your book.
• Access to premium TMS and carrier databases.
• Entrepreneurial culture with room for advancement and leadership roles.
• Health benefits, 401(k), and generous PTO.

Compensation: Competitive base + uncapped commission (commensurate with experience and book of business)
