This role sits at the front line of revenue generation, responsible for expanding market share and strengthening customer relationships in a highly competitive, logistics-driven environment. The business is scaling, and sustained growth depends on disciplined prospecting, structured account management, and strong alignment between Sales and Operations.

Success in this role means consistently creating new revenue opportunities while protecting and expanding existing accounts. It requires the ability to operate independently in the field, build trusted relationships, and translate customer needs into commercially sound solutions. This is a mission-critical position that directly influences revenue performance, customer retention, and long-term market positioning.

About Roadrunner

We're not just moving freight; we're reimagining long-haul shipping. Our Smart Network offers more direct long-haul metro-to-metro routes than any other nationwide LTL carrier in the United States, with service extending into Canada and Mexico and terminals across 40+ metro markets. Powered by AI and machine learning, our operations platform ensures real-time tracking, custodial control, and full shipment visibility. With driver teams executing over-the-road (OTR) moves - and no freight moving on rail - customers experience industry-leading transit times, minimal rehandling, and dramatically reduced risk of loss or damage.

Our 900+ owner-operators benefit from scheduled freight, fewer touches by design, consistent long-haul density, and a differentiated metro-to-metro model that creates predictable earning opportunities.

This precision and performance have earned Roadrunner national recognition by over 3,000 shippers, and was ranked this year #1 in Operations, #1 in Technology, and #1 in Value in the Quest for Quality Awards, as well as honors as a Top 100 Trucking Company by Inbound Logistics and a Top Tier Service Carrier by Mastio.

We're growing fast. Roadrunner is building something special with great people, a winning culture and a differentiated service offering in the marketplace. Join us today to grow your career!

We Run Safe. We Run Smart. We Run Together.
