Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced, results-driven Full-Cycle Account Executive to grow our flatbed and open-deck freight portfolio by developing profitable, long-term customer partnerships. This is a true business development role for a proven logistics sales professional who can identify high-value opportunities, secure quality freight, and build lasting customer relationships.
