Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Account Executive – Freight Brokerage with a proven track record of acquiring new shipping customers and developing long-term, profitable relationships.

This is primarily a new-business sales position, not a dispatch or load-tracking role.

You’ll have access to established operational resources, carrier relationships, transportation technology, and management support, allowing you to focus on what you do best: developing customers and growing your business.

Key Responsibilities

* Identify, prospect, and secure new shipping customers across the United States.

Qualifications

* Minimum 3 years of freight brokerage or transportation sales experience preferred.

* Proven track record of personally acquiring new shipping customers.

* Demonstrated ability to generate profitable freight brokerage business.

* Existing shipper relationships or an established book of business strongly preferred, but not required.

* Experience selling FTL, LTL, drayage, intermodal, or specialized transportation services.

* Strong understanding of transportation pricing, gross profit margins, and customer acquisition.

* Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.

* Ability to independently prospect, manage a sales pipeline, and close new business.

* Experience using CRM and transportation management systems.

* Self-motivated, accountable, and comfortable working in a remote environment.

Compensation & Benefits

* Competitive base salary: $80,000–$100,000 annually, depending on experience.

* Uncapped commission based on eligible gross profit.

* Additional earning opportunities for exceptional sales performance.

* Full-time remote position.

* Established carrier network and operational support.

* Technology and sales resources to support business development.

* Opportunity for long-term professional growth.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

At BBL Freight, we believe experienced sales professionals should spend their time developing relationships and securing new business—not chasing drivers, collecting paperwork, or managing routine shipment updates.

Our goal is to provide the operational infrastructure and support necessary for successful account executives to build substantial, profitable customer portfolios.

We’re looking for a motivated professional who wants more than just another sales position. We want someone who takes ownership of their results, values long-term customer relationships, and is excited about helping build a growing transportation organization.

If you’re an experienced freight brokerage salesperson with a proven ability to win new shipping customers, we’d like to hear from you.
