What are the responsibilities and job description for the Freight Broker position at Trucking Edge?
We're looking for a driven, relationship-focused Freight Broker to join our growing team. In this role, you'll connect shippers with reliable carriers, negotiate competitive rates, and build a book of business you own. You'll get a strong base salary while you ramp up—and uncapped commission that rewards you for every load you move. If you're a natural closer who thrives in a fast-paced environment, this is a chance to build a real career (and real income) in logistics.
What You'll Do
- Source, prospect, and win new shipper accounts through calls, emails, and follow-up
- Build and manage a portfolio of carriers to cover freight efficiently and on time
- Negotiate rates with both shippers and carriers to hit margin targets
- Book, dispatch, and track loads from pickup to delivery, solving problems as they come up
- Maintain strong relationships to earn repeat business and referrals
- Keep accurate records in our TMS (Transportation Management System)
- Stay on top of market rates, lanes, and capacity trends
What We're Looking For
- Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
- Self-motivated and goal-oriented—you like to compete and win
- Comfortable making outbound calls and managing a pipeline
- Ability to multitask and stay organized under pressure
- Prior freight brokerage, sales, or logistics experience is a plus (but we'll train the right person)
- High school diploma or equivalent; a book of business is a bonus
What We Offer
- $50,000–$55,000 base salary with uncapped commission—top brokers earn well into six figures
- Paid training and mentorship to help you ramp fast
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and holidays
- 401(k) [with company match, if applicable]
- Clear path for growth and advancement
- Supportive, high-energy team culture
