As a level one Carrier Sales Representative, you will play a key role in ensuring safe and on-time delivery of our customers' freight by building and maintaining relationships with qualified carriers, being meticulous about the details, and meeting or exceeding daily productivity goals. You'll work closely with a team, handling daily tasks under close supervision, and building valuable relationships in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment.
