Blue Fox Trading - A HYRE HARPER Co. Affiliate


--- WHO WE ARE ---

Blue Fox Trading is a freight brokerage consultancy built around a 360-degree logistics vision. Our founder holds a degree in Third-Party Logistics and passed the Customs Brokerage Exam (license pending). We are the logistics division of HYRE HARPER Co., a full-service business operations and recruitment firm. Our agents get enterprise-grade TMS, CRM, load boards, and AI tools - all provided at no cost.


--- THE ROLE ---

This is for the freight professional who does it all. If you close shippers AND cover trucks, you earn commission on both - independently. Two separate commissions on the same load.


Not dual-role yet? Start on one side and add the other with company approval.


--- KEY HIGHLIGHTS ---

* Up to 45% of Net Revenue per load at Tier 1; up to 60% at Tier 2

* No earnings cap - your book sets the ceiling

* Customs Brokerage + Freight Brokerage - one ecosystem

* Claude AI, ChatGPT & Microsoft Copilot built into daily ops

* AscendTMS, McLeod, DAT, Truckstop, TAI, HubSpot - all provided

* Weekly pay every Friday


--- WHAT YOU WILL DO ---


SHIPPER / SALES SIDE:

* Prospect and onboard shipper accounts; manage existing relationships

* Quote TL, LTL, Partial, and Spot Market freight via DAT, Truckstop, TAI

* Book and manage shipments in AscendTMS and McLeod; track activity in HubSpot CRM


CARRIER / OPS SIDE:

* Source and book carriers via DAT, Truckstop, and direct outreach

* Negotiate carrier rates; verify FMCSA credentials and insurance

* Track shipments pickup through delivery; manage check calls, PODs, exceptions


TECHNOLOGY (Required):

* Microsoft 365, Slack, Microsoft Copilot

* Claude AI and ChatGPT for market analysis and workflow optimization


--- OUR STORY ---

Our founder built Blue Fox Trading to close a gap: one team that handles customs clearance AND domestic freight execution. No handoffs. No gaps. Clients get the full journey. Agents get enterprise infrastructure with independent contractor freedom.



Requirements

--- REQUIRED - ALL AGENTS ---

* Proven experience as a Freight Broker Agent, Carrier Sales Rep, or Dispatcher

* Familiarity with DAT, Truckstop, or similar load boards

* Microsoft 365 and Slack proficiency

* Hands-on use of Claude AI, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot - required

* Self-directed in a commission-only remote environment

* Strong communication and negotiation skills

* FMCSA compliance and carrier vetting knowledge


--- FREIGHT BROKER AGENT TRACK (Sales) ---

* TAI for OTR LTL quoting (preferred)

* Ability to source trucks, vet carriers, manage full shipment lifecycle


--- PREFERRED (EITHER TRACK) ---

* Apollo and/or Clay for prospecting

* Experience managing both sides of a load

* Interest in international freight, customs, or import/export


--- EQUIPMENT & WORKSPACE ---

* Your own business phone line (mobile or VoIP)

* Reliable high-speed internet

* Computer capable of running web-based TMS, CRM, and Microsoft 365

* Dedicated home office for confidential communications

Benefits

--- COMMISSION TIERS ---

* Tier 1: $0-$29,999 cumulative earned -> 22.5% of Net Revenue per role

* Tier 2 (Permanent): $30,000+ cumulative -> 30% of Net Revenue per role


Commission is on Net Revenue Blue Fox Trading receives after broker splits - always. As we build our own MC authority, direct loads carry no split and your commission base grows automatically.


--- DUAL-ROLE EARNING POTENTIAL ---

* Sales Side Only: 22.5%-30% of Net Revenue

* Carrier Ops Only: 22.5%-30% of Net Revenue

* Both Sides (Full Load): Up to 45% (Tier 1) or 60% (Tier 2) - each role commissioned independently


Example: $10,000 GP load, Operating Agreement (60% Blue Fox split). Blue Fox receives $6,000. You handle both sides at Tier 1: 22.5% sales ($1,350) + 22.5% ops ($1,350) = $2,700 on one load.

* Load Boards: DAT, Truckstop
