Freight Sales Representative at Amnex Solutions in IL-Chicago-60654

Job description

• Join a Freight Company That Grew 10X in One Year
• Location: Chicago / Lisle, IL
• Company: Amnex Solutions Corp
• Division: OTR & Drayage
• Employment Type: Full-Time
• We are looking for an experienced Freight Sales Representative who knows how to hunt for business, build relationships, and turn opportunities into long-term customers.
• You will have ownership over your business from the beginning — prospecting, quoting, developing lanes, sourcing carriers, managing shipments, and growing the account.
• As your book grows, Amnex will grow around you.
• If you become successful enough that managing operations starts taking time away from selling, we will add operational and carrier coverage support around your business so you can continue building.
• We want our best salespeople spending more time growing accounts — not getting buried under the success they created.
• Your Ceiling Here Is Not a Job Title.
• Amnex grew approximately 10X in the last year, and we're building for the next stage now.
• We're looking for ambitious freight professionals who want their career trajectory to match the trajectory of the company.
• If you're ready to build a serious book of business and want the resources of a growing logistics company behind you, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Build Your Own Book of Business
• Prospect and develop new shipper relationships across OTR, drayage, and related transportation services.
• Identify opportunities through phone, email, networking, referrals, and creative outreach.
• Develop relationships with logistics managers, supply chain teams, manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors, and other shippers.
• Build lane strategies and pricing models designed to win profitable, repeatable freight.
• Turn individual shipments into long-term customer relationships.
• Own the Freight
• You won't simply hand a customer off once the sale is made.
• You will understand the freight you're selling and make sure it gets executed correctly.
• Quote and price shipments.
• Source and negotiate with carriers.
• Book and manage loads.
• Track freight proactively.
• Solve problems before customers have to ask.
• Communicate shipment updates and exceptions.
• Ensure documentation and billing are completed correctly.
• Build Carrier & Customer Relationships
• Develop dependable carrier relationships across your core lanes.
• Utilize RMIS, Carrier411, load boards, TMS technology, and Amnex's internal carrier network.
• Maintain strong communication with customers and carriers.
• Become the person your customers call when they need something handled.
• Help Build the Company
• We're still growing — quickly.
• That means strong performers have an opportunity to influence how Amnex operates.
• New customer strategies
• Large transportation projects
• Pricing models
• Carrier development
• Automation
• Technology
• Operational improvements
• New service offerings
• We are looking for people who want to build, not just occupy a seat.

Requirements

• 2+ years of freight brokerage, transportation sales, logistics, or account management experience.
• Demonstrated ability to prospect and develop new customer relationships.
• Experience managing freight in a cradle-to-grave environment.
• Strong knowledge of OTR truckload, intermodal, drayage, or port operations.
• Strong negotiation and communication skills.
• Familiarity with TMS platforms, load boards, CRM systems, and carrier-vetting tools.
• Experience with platforms such as Turvo, DAT, Truckstop, RMIS, or Carrier411 is a plus.
• The ability to operate independently without needing someone constantly telling you what to do next.
• Most importantly, we're looking for someone with drive.
• Someone who follows up.
• Someone who keeps prospecting after a good month.
• Someone who sees a difficult transportation problem and thinks, "I can figure this out."
