• 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.
