Job Description

Experienced Freight Broker (Cradle-to-Grave / Full Lifecycle) REMOTE

Location: Remote(Anywhere in the USA)Job Type: Full-time 

Salary: $60K - $100K Base + Sales Commissions

 

Our client

Our client is an active, fast-growing freight brokerage built on transparency, speed, and deep industry relationships. We skip the corporate red tape to give our brokers the freedom, authority, and financial incentives they need to thrive. Operating as a lean, agile team, we empower our brokers to manage their books of business with full autonomy and zero internal friction. 

 

The Role (Cradle-to-Grave)

We are seeking a driven, experienced Cradle-to-Grave Freight Broker to join our team. In this full-lifecycle role, you are entirely responsible for prospecting shippers, securing freight, sourcing carriers, and tracking shipments through to successful delivery. If you hate being restricted by corporate "silos" and want to maximize your earning potential, this is your home. 

 

What You’ll Do: 

  • Shipper Acquisition: Prospect, pitch, and close new shipping clients to build a sustainable, profitable book of business. 
  • Carrier Sourcing: Utilize DAT, Truckstop, and internal networks to source, vet, and negotiate rates with qualified carriers. 
  • Full Lifecycle Management: Oversee the entire life of the load—from writing the rate confirmation to dispatching, check-calls, and final delivery. 
  • Relationship Management: Act as the single, dedicated point of contact for your shippers, providing premium customer service and solving transit issues in real time. 

What We’re Looking For: 

  • 1–3 years of verifiable experience as a freight broker or agent. 
  • A portable, active book of shipper business is highly preferred. 
  • Deep understanding of freight market dynamics, lane pricing, and carrier negotiation strategies. 
  • Proficient with major Load Boards (DAT, Truckstop) and modern TMS systems. 

What’s In It for You: 

  • Uncapped earning potential with highly competitive commission splits. 
  • Freedom from corporate micro-management and internal account fighting.
