Job Description

Who You Are
You don't need logistics experience—we'll teach you that. What we're looking for is someone who's competitive, resilient, and excited to build a career where your effort directly impacts your success.

Whether you're coming from sales, athletics, hospitality, retail, customer service, or another
fast-paced environment, if you enjoy solving problems, building relationships, and working toward goals, you'll fit right in. You take ownership of your work, thrive in a team environment, and are motivated by opportunities to learn, grow, and win.

Responsibilities

Prospect and qualify leads through cold calls, email outreach, and research platforms
(Google, ZoomInfo, etc.)
Serve as the main point of contact for client escalations and high-stakes issues
Conduct quarterly business reviews and strategic planning sessions with client executives
Partner with internal teams to ensure flawless operational execution
Coach and support junior team members as needed
Track KPIs, monitor performance, and drive consistent results
Deliver the “No Fail” service standard on every load


What You Bring to the Table
Experience in sales, logistics, or account management (preferred but not required)
A competitive spirit and relentless drive to hit goals
Excellent communication skills—written and verbal
Resilience, grit, and comfort working in a fast-paced environment
Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
Tech-savvy with experience in CRM tools, Google Workspace, and prospecting platforms
Professionalism, reliability, and a service-first mindset


Expectations
Make 60+ outbound calls daily (higher for junior-level AEs)
Meet or exceed key performance goals including load count, gross profit, and CRM activity
Demonstrate a “service-first” mindset by minimizing preventable issues
Consistently operate with professionalism, reliability, and integrity


What You’ll Get in Return
$24-$25 an hour for entry level candidates + uncapped commission potential
Paid holidays and PTO after 90 days
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) retirement plan
Ongoing training and career development opportunities
Dog-friendly office environment
