Job Description

We are seeking experienced 1099 Freight Agents / Independent Freight Brokers to build and manage domestic freight business within the U.S. market. This is a high-earning, performance-driven opportunity designed for true hunters who understand how to win, grow, and retain freight accounts.

This role is ideal for professionals with hands-on exposure to domestic 3PL environments and asset-based carriers, whether operating cradle-to-grave or handing off execution once freight is tendered.
A book of business is not required. Industry exposure is non-negotiable.

What You’ll Do
  • Prospect, develop, and close new domestic freight opportunities
  • Manage customer relationships from initial contact through ongoing account growth
  • Quote lanes, negotiate rates, and secure freight
  • Coordinate and manage shipments cradle-to-grave or tender loads to internal operations, depending on preference
  • Work with a network of carriers including 3PL and asset-based providers
  • Maintain visibility, communication, and service standards with customers
  • Own your pipeline, revenue, and growth trajectory

  • Proven experience in domestic freight brokerage or freight sales
  • Background working with domestic 3PLs and/or asset-based carriers
  • Strong understanding of lanes, pricing, capacity, and carrier relationships

  • Comfortable operating independently in a 1099 structure

Nice to Have

  • Existing book of business
  • Multi-modal exposure
  • Established carrier relationships

Benefits

Why This Role

This is not a starter role. It is a high-autonomy, high-upside opportunity for freight professionals who want control over their income, flexibility in how they operate, and the ability to scale without artificial ceilings.
