Job Description & How to Apply Below

As a Team Member of one of the fastest growing transportation companies in the nation, your individual growth and success are paramount to the overall company growth and success. We offer an industry‑leading training program paired with a competitive compensation plan that should make every candidate confident that you can be successful in this industry.

What We Do

Simply put, we connect shippers with a network of trusted carriers to provide creative solutions. Our motto is Efficient Solutions. Exceptional Service, this is what guides our decision making. We handle the entire process for shippers: from the initial quoting process, carrier interaction, scheduling pickups, in‑transit tracking, to making sure it’s delivered on time, we’re the go‑to service provider for our valued customers.

This leaves shippers with peace of mind that their freight is safe with us and allows them to shift their valuable time and efforts elsewhere. At RCL, there’s no project too big, no customer too small!

Position Summary

The Inside Sales Representative is responsible for growing revenue within our brokerage by developing new shipper relationships and expanding existing accounts. This role focuses on selling transportation solutions—including truckload (TL), less‑than‑truckload (LTL), and other logistics services—through high‑volume outbound prospecting and inbound lead qualification. The Inside Sales Rep partners closely with carrier sales, operations, and account management to deliver competitive, reliable freight solutions while meeting margin and volume goals.
