Education: Completed Bachelor’s Degree required (Business, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or a related field preferred).
High-Energy Communicator: Comfortable managing a high volume of inbound and outbound calls (around 80–100 calls/day) to build rapport, negotiate rates, and seal deals with carriers.
Drive & Mindset: Highly motivated self-starter eager to master negotiation, financial acumen, and market dynamics.
Problem-Solving & Tech Skills: Strong analytical ability, quick decision-making under pressure, and comfort using Excel, TMS, and analytics tools.
Experience: Previous internship or 0–3 years of experience in transportation, logistics, phone sales, or customer service is a plus. We are fully prepared to train candidates with the right drive and grit!
Cohort Learning Model: Learn, collaborate, and succeed alongside a dedicated group of recent grads and early career professionals.
Clear Career Progression: Gain hands-on exposure to negotiation, account management, and logistics strategy. All key skills for rapid leadership growth.
