Job Description

Are you a deal-closing dynamo who thrives in the fast-paced world of refrigerated freight? Join a people-first, team-driven logistics company that’s on a mission to be the best at what they do — and needs a New Business Development expert to help lead the charge.

This is your chance to own national accounts, work alongside seasoned pros in the temperature-controlled LTL space, and build a book of business you can be proud of. You'll have the freedom, support, and tools to succeed — and the backing of a company that values collaboration, hustle, and results.

 What You'll Do:

  • Be the go-to expert for temp-sensitive LTL freight across the U.S.
  • Prospect and close new business: cold calls, warm leads, and referrals
  • Quote, negotiate, and manage full-cycle customer relationships
  • Partner with operations for seamless service execution
  • Stay sharp on cold chain trends and freight markets
  • Travel 10–15% to build face-to-face connections

 What You Bring:

  • 3+ years in 3PL or asset-based sales (cold chain experience = NEEDED)
  • Proven book of business and portfolio management of $2M+
  • CRM and Microsoft Office skills (Excel experience preferred)
  • Top-tier communication, negotiation, and hustle, (FEARLESS DETERMINATION AND DRIVE TO SUCCEED is WELCOME)
  • High School diploma required; Associate’s or equivalent experience NEEDED

 Why Join Us?

You won’t just join a team — you’ll become part of a family that lives and breathes the cold chain. With strong leadership, a high-performance culture, and real opportunity to grow your income and impact, this is where careers get made.
