Driver Engagement Representative

Sleek Technologies is growing! We currently have a full-time remote opening available on our driver engagement team.

Sleek’s ongoing push to simplify logistics has disrupted an outdated freight brokerage model and has advanced the shipper/driver relationship while increasing profitability for both sides. Sleek Fleet’s sleek web-based app has already helped thousands of drivers take back their pay and freedom stifled by large carriers and factoring companies while helping dozens of shippers increase efficiency and profitability for their business.

Our entire staff is remote; we have no office to report to and therefore our employees have no commute to frustrate them. We believe in a work/life balance and recognize the evolution of the traditional office. Being part of an all remote company does not mean you’re isolated and don’t talk to anyone, we utilize multiple outlets and technologies to collaborate and come together as a team.

We believe in buckling down and forging new paths, all from the ease of your own remote office. We don’t believe in wasting employee’s time by making them drive and ship themselves to an office – instead, we help drivers drive and shippers ship with an app that’s faster than an open freeway. We are committed to creating an engaged culture and believe the alignment of a team to a core set of values, produces trust, empowerment, and responsibility.
