Job Description

We're Hiring: Reefer Carrier Sales Representative | Join a Growing Logistics Team

Do you know how to find reefer capacity when everyone else is hearing "no trucks available"?

We're looking for an experienced Reefer Carrier Sales Representative who knows the refrigerated market, has strong carrier relationships, and can build solutions when freight gets challenging.

This isn't a role for someone just making calls and hoping for capacity - we're looking for someone who understands the reefer space, knows how to negotiate, and can build a reliable carrier network.

What You Bring:
Established network of refrigerated carriers
Strong understanding of the reefer transportation market
Ability to develop new lanes and uncover capacity opportunities
Experience negotiating rates and building long-term carrier partnerships
Problem-solving mindset with a focus on service and execution
Self-driven, organized, and motivated to grow a book of business

What You'll Do:
Source and secure capacity for refrigerated freight across North America
Build and maintain strong relationships with reefer carriers
Identify new lanes and expand carrier coverage
Negotiate rates and create transportation solutions
Partner with customers and internal teams to ensure successful execution

What We're Looking For:
2+ years of carrier sales or freight brokerage experience
Existing reefer carrier relationships required
Strong communication and negotiation skills
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, competitive logistics environment

If you have a strong reefer carrier network and know how to find capacity where others can't - we want to talk.
