Ltl Agent Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Margin Freight is building something different. We help transportation professionals build and scale their own businesses by combining industry-leading technology, operational support, carrier relationships, and a path to true independence. Our agents operate under their own brands while leveraging the resources, technology, and support of Margin Freight. Unlike traditional agent programs, our goal isn't simply to recruit agents - it's to help entrepreneurs build and control valuable businesses.

As we continue to grow, we're seeking a Recruiting & Development Manager to help identify exceptional freight professionals, introduce them to Margin Freight, and support their long-term success.

This individual serves as the primary driver of agent growth by building recruiting pipelines, developing industry relationships, and helping agents uncover opportunities to grow their businesses. While this role will regularly engage with existing agents, its primary responsibility is to identify and recruit new agent partners. The ideal candidate is a relationship builder who enjoys networking, business development, and helping entrepreneurs succeed.
